Well, Mrs. Hawking said that if they didn't "all" come back, then the results would be "unpredictable." Presumably that meant Ji Yeon, (possibly) Aaron (though the "don't you dare bring him back" suggests otherwise in his case, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Claire actually meant Ben instead), and Desmond as well. In fact I'm thinking it's going to be Desmond returning that fixes everything. We still don't know what Ben was doing at the docks but I'm pretty sure whatever it was was designed to lure him back to the island.
