I'm still not sure why they introduced these characters in the first place. I was under the impression that they were to be used as a plot device to explain some mystery. What did this episode explain?

ALSO: At the end, just before the other spiders showed up, the monsters 'ch-ch-ch-ch' sound was heard.

I'm trying to think of something it explained, and I can't really. It did give us some addittional insight into previous events. And it was entertaining.

That last sentence is the most important for me. I know I say this practially every week, but Lost could go on for 50 years without fully explaining everything, and as long as it was entertaining I'd be satisfied.
