Theories about Sarah Shephard

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Flashback

• When Sarah was in the car accident, she was on her way to try on a wedding dress from Carlyle Weddings / or was planning the wedding through Carlyle Weddings.
• Perhaps Sarah was seeing the man she left Jack for during the pregnancy scare. Making it a possibility that the child would not have been Jack's. Could also lead to the conclusion that she lied to Jack about the pregnancy test being false.
• She was leaving Jack to get back with Kevin.
• She was not leaving Jack for another man. She only gave him that impression when she found he had kissed another woman. She saw this as further evidence that he was unhappy in their marriage, but knew he would never initiate a breakup.
  • Partially debunked given that in Through the Looking Glass she is pregnant, which most likely means she is now with another man.
• She was actually pregnant with Jack's child, but saw that he was not happy with the idea, so she hid it.
• She was having an affair with Christian Shephard, her own father-in-law.
• Christian had a strong friendship with Sarah and was in love with her but he never acted on those feelings because he loved his son. Sarah's support may be the reason why Christian was sober for 50 days leading up to ("A Tale of Two Cities")
• Her miraculous healing is due Jacob and not Jack.
• She left Jack for Marc Silverman.

Flashforward

• After being rescued, Jack and Sarah had a one night stand and the baby is Jack's. That's why when he asked for a ride home, Sarah said "That wouldn't be appropriate."

• That seems speculative, it's more likely considering their past that Sarah was simply uncomfortable around Jack.

On the Island

• Sarah is the Sarah from the Whispers. According to the transcripts for the whispers in The Beginning of the End and The Other Woman, "Sarah" is mentioned.
  • The Sarah mentioned in the whispers is Ana Lucia, not Sarah Sheppard. Remember that Sarah was Christian Sheppard's pet (i.e., "fake") name for Ana Lucia, and since it has been widely theorized that the whispers come from the island's dead and since one of the whispered voices in "The Beginning of the End" who seems to be addressing this "Sarah" has been identified as likely that of Christian Sheppard, it makes sense that the Sarah featured in the Season 4 whispers is Ana Lucia -- who did die on the island -- rather than Sarah Sheppard, who is still alive and seems to have no direct personal connection with the island.
