Detonated at end of The Incident?
- The detonation of the Jughead will cause a Grandmother Time Paradox as follows: The Losties detonate the bomb, causing the destruction of the Swan and thus preventing Oceanic 815 from crashing. This means that the Losties will never have made it to the Island, making it impossible for them to destroy the Swan. The Swan will exist again (because the Losties were never there to destroy it) and Oceanic 815 will crash and bring the Losties to the island, leading them to destroy the Swan and causing the whole cycle to repeat into infinity.
- Jughead is detonated, causing the crater on the south end of the island in Rousseau's maps. This was the event referred to as The Incident.
The cause of the island's fertility issues
- Whatever happens at the end of "The Incident, Parts 1 & 2" doesn't really matter, Jughead's involvement in it is the cause of fertility and pregnancy issues on the island. We know this because in "LaFleur", which takes place in 1977, Juliet is able to deliver Amy's baby Ethan. We also know that when Juliet is recruited to the island around 2001, it was because women who conceived on the island we not able to survive the 3rd trimester. The events of The Incident happen in between these 2 time periods.
