When Eko hears Claire talking to Locke about the psychic back in Australia who had told her she must not allow another to raise her baby, and wondering if he had sent her on Flight 815 knowing it was going to crash, he realises she is talking about the same man he had met shortly before boarding, the man who had confessed to Eko that he was a fraud.

He briefly considers telling Claire his own history with Richard Malkin, but decides against it. It will not do anything for Claire explaining that this was most likely not fate after all, but coincidence that had brought her here, just as it was coincidence that had led both Eko and Claire to meet the man.
