Frenchie's Freighter

I've been circulating this theory a lot at the fuselage and things like that, but I love it and have decided to post it here. A lot of my theories may be long and take a while to read, so just prepare yourselves.

I have been a long time subscriber to the theory that Danielle was lying about her past, and this theory was something that came to me while listening to The Official Lost Podcast for comic-con. Damon had said that they would hope to get to crazy Frenchie's past when certain things lined up, and they also wouldn't say when Michael would return to the show. . . Then I thought... what if those two things are intertwined and proved my belief correct? What if, say:

What if the freighter isn't Penny's Boat or Dharma Initiative?

Michael was picked up by the freighter like some people had theorized?

What if we will see him when the freighter/helicopter comes to "rescue" everyone?

What if we see Michael's time on the boat in a flashback?

And what if we see him interrogated on the freighter by a man desperately searching for his long lost lover, Danielle Rousseau?

Yes, my theory is that Rousseau lied about everything, ran off for some reason with the Dharma Initiative after giving birth (possibly Robert [father of Alex] was abusive or something like that, and she was promised money, a good job, and a quality education for Alex, and ran off to the island with Alex, close to the time of the purge). So she is inducted into the others during the purge. She does something the others don't like and is banished, and separated from Alex, goes into hiding and is left alone by the others. The story she tells the survivors (killing her team) was probably her essentially telling them all of her fantasies. The names of the research team members are of people she hated off of the island, and blames them for driving her to this place. She also is afraid of what the Losties would do to her if she told them she was an other long ago.

Meanwhile...

Robert eventually becomes much less abusive and is very remorseful about what happened. He desperately wants to find Danielle and his daughter. Like most fathers in this show, he is very rich and powerful, with endless resources. After years of searching, he is led to an area where there are large amounts of disappearances. He is on a freighter, and finds a man and his son on a little fishing boat, in the middle of the ocean. He interrogates Michael and finds out about the island, and picks up the transmission from the survivors.

He will eventually come to the island and find Alex and Rousseau, his dream come true. This is a little more of a stretch, but it would be cool to see Rousseau kill him in a moment of temporary insanity (and also see her flashbacks the same episode), and then killed herself by one of the other people on the freighter, or even a Lostie, because she killed him. Alex then leaves the island with Karl because they both have too many bad memories of the island.
