James is writing THE LETTER that he writes to "Sawyer"/Anthony Cooper on the steps of the church following his mother and father's funeral. He runs out of ink, making him unable to finish the letter. Jacob gives him a pen… to finish the letter (which he presumably knows will weigh heavily on future events on the island?) yet his uncle tells him not to finish it. Jacob provides the choice to James, and James chooses to finish the letter (as evidenced by him possessing it on the island).

"Katie" and her friend Tom are caught stealing a New Kids on the Block lunchbox (lol) from an Ames, Iowa general store. Jacob intervenes and offers to pay for the lunchbox, gives it back to Katie, tells Katie never to steal again, and touches her nose.

Jack's candybar gets stuck in the vending machine. He argues with his father over his father's interference in his work life. Jacob offers Jack the candybar from the machine, which comes loose after he purchases the same one. Jacob gives Jack the candybar, touches his hand, and says, "Maybe all it needed was a little push."

Jacob attends Sun & Jin's wedding, in perfect Korean, wishes them well and tells them never to take each other for granted. Then he touches them both on each shoulder.

Sayid, with wife Nadia are waiting at an intersection to cross the street. Jacob asks Sayid for directions. Nadia is hit by a car and Jacob touches Sayid's shoulder right before he rushes to her.

Jacob is waiting on a park bench right outside the multi-story building that Locke is pushed out of by his father, Anthony Cooper. Answering to his cue, Jacob rises from the bench, walks over to Locke, touches his shoulder, Locke gasps, opens his eyes, and comes back to life. Jacob tells Locke he is sorry this has had to happen to him.

Jacob is waiting outside the prison in a taxi that Hurley gets in to. In what is the most direct of exchanges between Jacob and the Losties, he asks Hurley why he won't go back to the island, tells him rather than being cursed, that he is blessed in that he gets to still see all whom he has lost. He tells him of the Ajira flight, states that it is his choice, and leaves the guitar in the cab for Hurley as he exits.

In each instance, Jacob either gave the Losties something, or he touched them. But what about the nature of what is said or what he does does this indicate for each character? He gives James a pen to finish writing the letter… Is James destiny to follow through with something that he started? Is Kate not to have something that doesn't belong to her ("steal")? Thus, she is to reunite Aaron with Claire as Aaron does not belong to her? What about Jack? Are Sun & Jin destined to always be together, and therefore this season's separation is not what is destined? What about Sayid? Jacob tells Locke that he is sorry this has had to happen to him… his death? Locke must always die in order for other events to occur. And what does this mean for Hurley? What is his destiny?
