The Lost Lowdown

Harsh harsh fate. Her end is almost as depressing as Locke dying with his last thoughts as "I don't understand". Either the island is a huge dick or has a really twisted sense of humor.

Yes, this was definitely the most shocking moment of the episode.

I have two thoughts about this. On one hand this could be what Ben said and the island was done with her.

On the other hand, she was handling that dynamite pretty recklessly and it could be that she simply blew up because she wasn't careful. It was ultimately her choice to handle it and she did so poorly.

I was waiting for the "dude, you've got some Ilana on you" line.
