We’ll know soon. They give that whole scene [right here](http://abc.go.com/video/player.html?channel=lost). That’s why they were calling me evil 😉 ---

That’s why they were calling me evil 😉 but… I’ll bet that IF she took the baby, it was to protect it or something-- not to give it to The Others. I don’t trust any of the teasers for this show-- the writers love to throw us off like that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lost-1-23-exodus-part-one/304420.md?page=15)
