S6E12 THE LOCKE COMBINATION

I was thinking when Flocke said that just as all the O6 had to be together to "return" to the island, they all had to be together to "leave" the island. That is the logic in Flocke's mind on how to escape.

In the past, there was one way I believe kept Smokey from escaping the island . . . it was the Numbers which contained the EM forces (so Smokey could not attain full power). The Numbers were the magic spell combination lock to keep Smokey in place. Now, I can see the possibility of Smokey getting all the Candidates (which represent The Numbers) to Hydra expecting that his invisible chain to the island be broken, but in a twist of fate, the Numbers activate and "seal" Smokey away forever.
