Ortiz[]
I deleted a one-line theory saying her last name was Ortiz... though I'd love to learn the reasoning behind it. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 11:23, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, that one was mine, thanks. ;O) The theory is based on simple deduction. Emmanuel Rafael Ortiz was one of the people who got eulogized by Claire in "Walkabout". All he had on him was a rental receipt for "Willy Wonka" and "Little Princess". Also, in "The Other Woman" Juliet mentioned to Ben that Zach and Emma kept asking about their mother. So my guess is they somehow saw their father die during the crash (maybe he was one of the passengers who got sucked out into the air as the plane broke into pieces) or have been told by the Others about their father's death. The mother was probably not on the plane at all. --Spookster 15:55, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
Ah! THAT Ortiz. But of course ;-)! But Emma's mother was waiting to meet her in L.A. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 21:03, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
Which fits even more nicely for Emma and Zach to ask about her and the Others not being able/willing to do something about it. Seems pretty plausible to me. --Spookster 12:37, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
