Theory: “An Other” Kate
Kate: Kate also probably has a place in the DI’s grand scheme of things. She, like Jack, was not on the beach with the other survivors at the time of the crash. It is possible that the DI wanted to make sure that she survived, and had her moved away from the crash scene.
It is also quite possible, that Kate is in fact an Other. She like Goodwin was not with the other survivors on the beach, and came out of the jungle. She is always adamant to go on every group exploration. She could be doing this, to sabotage the expedition make sure that they don’t succeed in whatever it is that they are trying to do. She has also made sure that she is included among the group of camp leaders. As such, she is always informed as to what the other group leaders are up to, and what they have planned for the group in general.
Notice that in House of the Rising Sun, Kate was one of the deciding votes as to whether or not the survivors should move to the caves. It is likely that if she decided to move to the caves that a lot of the other survivors would have followed suit. By deciding to stay on the beach, she as an Other would have accomplished two things. She kept the survivors from moving to a place that would have made it difficult for the Others to get to them. What she also accomplished was that the camp was now divided in two, which made it easier for the Others to pick them off if they wanted, and it made communication among the survivors more difficult. Yet, probably the biggest, yet not very obvious, clues that Kate may be an Other occurs in Hunting Party in which she is brought out before Jack, Sawyer, and Locke as a hostage of the Others. A scene that is very similar to the bank robbery scene in Whatever the Case May Be. We know from the Marshal on the plane that Kate was in fact on the plane, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she wasn’t a part of the DI before the she got on the plane. If she is an Other, she may have allowed herself to be captured knowing that the Dharma Initiative (DI) would make sure that she was on the flight that was going to be brought to the island.
