We haven't been told yet what happened to Jack's wife. I believe she either left him or has died. In the episode when Jack chases after Desmond he asks what happened to the girl patient, Jack cries out, "I married her!" He's in tears, very upset. So does this mean she's dead, or did she go back to being paralized and left him? He's got more issues than just his father, where has his wife gone to?

I assume you're talking about Jack Shepherd and not our own Allegedly-Handsome Jack?  |

I think her absence or death has something to do with one of the other chracters. This is seems to be a very "lost" thing to do. I was never at peace with how Jack looked at that picture in Desomnds bedroom. Also, he definitly acts differntly around Ana Lucia.
Crazy theory time:
I think its going to be a big shock, maybe she was murdered by Kate, and the authorites hadn't found the killer yet. Kate definitly did more than just murder Wayne and her bank hiest buddy, I've never heard of any law enforcement agency going across the world to capture a fugitive guilty of a couple of murders. I always think back ot the licence plate thing, and the reward, she obviously is a saught after woman. I am going with the theory that Kate killed Jacks wife....

I also think that it would be a little too much to swallow, like having Locke's father be the original Sawyer.
Real life people couldn't possibly have THAT many connections, and I think if they did that it would begin to stretch the credibility of the show a bit.

I think the eerie coincedences of the show is part of the draw to it. If it were just like real life, it wouldn't be as interesting. |

Concerning Jack's Wife:
In my opinion, the way Jack's wife exits his life will be the main "event" that causes him to lose his faith. I think that, since her recovery from paralysis is what brought him faith in the first place, her exodus will revolve around her condition. This is my theory:
She has a "relapse": This is my main theory in this matter. Whether Jack just comes home one day and she's one the kitchen floor, unable to move properly or it's slower than that (it might even be due to an accident). It might lead to her death (self inflicted or medical), leaving Jack with his "miracle" that wasn't all he thought it to be. I can even see Jack being bitter over his wife's death to the point of being angry with her. Jack is an emotional guy, as we all know.
In addition, most people think that when being questioned in the jungle by Desmond, Jack gets emotional over his wife leaving him and his anger is purely grief driven. I think that, although Jack is grieving, his anger is just plain old anger. Desmond's question consist of "what happened to her" and "was she okay". Questions that would surely hit hard after your "okay" wife turned out to be just the opposite. Not to mention the malevolent feelings between those two (Jack and Desmond) even before this encounter in the jungle might be due to the fact that it was Desmond that gave him his first flicker of hope, which was later taken away. This event would have been extremely important when it comes to "shaping" Jack. I think Jack needed there to be an explination for his wife's sudden detioration. After all, if he didn't have that he might look at it as if he had done something to deserve this. Perhaps he wasn't being the best husband at the time? Who knows? My point is that our "Man of Science" needs a reason to be the way he is.
Whew...theories always make me tired.

Yes, I think that's true. That she lost her ability to walk again. That would make a cool twist.

I think she died. Maybe she died in the same car accident that killed Helen and paralyzed Locke.  Jack would still be angry at the situation because after all he and his wife went through, she still dies. The "miracle" would have been for nothing/a waste from Jack's viewpoint. |

::::::remembering desmond asking * the gurl......what happened to her*:::::::
Jack screws up his face like he is remembering something distasteful

Dr Jack answered/ screamed/cried * I married her!!!!!!!!*
as if marrying her was the worst thing he could have done.

Maybe Jack thinks that that ruined her life. Or maybe he couldn't bring himself to say what horrible fate befell her.

its out there but jack(S) is very dedicated and dedicated and losing her would strengthen his faith. so something would have to happen to her not death.
I'm thinking that she relapses then jacks faith falls in as well.

The Hunting Party episode is supposed to be about this question. The actor who was the seabilly with the beard ",We're gonna haf ta take the boy," is the same guy who is billed as "Mr. Friendly" on the upcoming episode. The name of the episode comes from an old western in which a husband hunts down his wife's kidnapper (or something like that). Makes one wonder if she was kidnapped and murdered. We talked about this on one of the spoiler threads, but I can't remember which one.  |
