I agree that this was one of the best episodes of the season so far.
The whole Locke thing at the end... I now no longer doubt that Gale is an Other (also that his name is the same as the guy from the Wizard of OZ). He was playing with Locke.
I am puzzled by Locke's reaction as well.
1) This the first crack in his heretofore zen exterior.
2) He knows the door is thin and that Gale will hear his outburst. He is playing Gale by giving Gale what he expects to hear. Locke is too clever to fall for those types of tricks again (i.e. his Father).
I like the latter.
