My prediction is that Ben and the upper level Others will take the Woman's death (if the shot was indeed fatal) very seriously, and up the ante in the conflict between the two groups. In other words, she's important and Sun's shot crossed the line.
Remember her snappish jibe at Juliette and Ben for being excluded? There's a history there, and it hints towards some sort of tense relationship triangle, as well as the broader social hierarchy of the Others.
If Ben is the sole leader, I put Juliette and the woman up as "executives", the , Bearded guy and the Jobsite enforcer as middle management, and the rest, such as Rousseau's daugher and her missing friend from the Zoo cage, as low ranking worker bees.
The worker-bee redshirts are somewhat expendible towards the Others' quest to convert/save the Losties, but the high ranking woman's death will be taken very personally.
I'm definitely looking forward to next weeks episode, apparently focusing on Locke and Eko; two of my favourite characters. What did happen in the hatch during the incident?
