8. "Why didn't he come back with the rest of you?" Cassidy "The helicopter that we were on was running out of gas, so he jumped so that we could make it to the boat." Kate "What a coward." Cassidy "He was trying to do the right thing." Kate "He was trying to get away from you. I told him he had a daughter. He never so much as lifted a finger to try to call her. So now I'm supposed to think he's a hero because he told you to come here and help us? Hell, I bet this money's not even his, is it?" Cassidy
9. "That's not your baby, is it? Kate, you just told me that you and your friends cooked a story for the whole world about what happened on that island. So you tell me the truth about that? Why are you lying to me about him?" Cassidy "Because I have to." Kate

From Lostpedia
16. "What the hell are you doing, Tubby?" Miles "Checking to see if I'm disappearing." Hurley "What?" Miles "Back to the Future, man. We came back in time to the island and changed stuff. So if little Ben dies, he'll never grow up to be big Ben, who's the one who made us come back here in the first place. Which means we can't be here. And therefore, dude? We don't exist." Hurley "You're an idiot." Miles "Am I?" Hurley "Yeah. It doesn't work like that. You can't change anything. Your maniac Iraqi buddy shot Linus. That is what always happened. It's just...we never experienced how it all turns out." Miles "This is really confusing." Hurley "Yeah, well, get used to it. But, the good news is that Linus didn't die, so that means the kid can't either. He'll be fine." Miles "Didn't look like he was gonna be fine. What if you're wrong?" Kate "Well, if I'm wrong, then I guess we all stop existing, and none of it matters anyway then, does it?" Miles

20. "You heard Miles. We can't change what's already happened. This has nothing to do with me." Jack "Unless you're the one who's supposed to save him." Kate "30 years from now, that boy's gonna be a man...that locks me in a cage because he needs surgery. And then you're gonna come in and you're gonna beg me to operate on him because he's threatening to murder Sawyer. I've already done this once. [scoffs] I've already saved Benjamin Linus, and I did it for you, Kate. I don't need to do it again." Jack "This is our fault. We brought Sayid back. We caused this." Kate "You know, when we were here before, I spent all of my time trying to fix things. But...did you ever think that maybe the island just wants to fix things itself? And maybe I was just...getting' in the way?" Jack "You know, I don't like the new you. I liked the old you, who wouldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen."

22. "La Fleur asked me where my keys were. That bastard doesn't ask any questions he doesn't know the answers to...which means my son stole my keys so he could bust that animal out of jail." Roger
23. "I thought I was gonna be the greatest father ever. You know? [Whispers] I guess it didn't work out that way." Roger "What about his mother? Is she still around?" Kate "No, she's dead. She died the day he was born." Roger "I'm sorry." Kate "Yeah, me, too. [Sighs] I tried to do what I thought she'd want me to do, but...I guess a boy just needs his mother." Roger

25. "Let me get this straight. [Miles is pacing.] All this already happened." Hurley "Yes." Miles "So, this conversation we're having right now...we already had it." Hurley "[Claps his hands] Yes!" Miles "Then what am I gonna say next?" Hurley "I don't know. [Shakes his head.]" Miles "Ha'! Then your theory is wrong!" Hurley "For the thousandth time, you dingbat, the conversation already happened, but not for you and me. For you and me, it's happening right now." Miles "Okay, answer me this. If all this already happened to me, then...why don't I remember any of it?" Hurley "Because, once Ben turned that wheel, time isn't a straight line for us anymore. Our experiences in the past and the future occurred before these experiences right now." Miles "Say that again." Hurley "[Pauses in exasperation and pulls out his gun and holds it out for Hurley to take.] Shoot me. Please. Please!" Miles "Aha! I can't shoot you. Because if you die in 1977, then you'll never come back to the island on the freighter 30 years from now." Hurley "I can die because I've already come to the island on the freighter. Any of us can die because this is our present." Miles "But you said Ben couldn't die because he still has to grow up and become the leader of the Others." Hurley "Because this is his past." Miles "But, when we first captured Ben, and Sayid, like, tortured him, then why wouldn't he remember getting shot by that same guy when he was a kid?" Hurley "[Miles blinks and looks around. Hurley raises his eyebrow.] Huh. I hadn't thought of that." Miles "Huh. [Crossing his arms.]" Hurley

[Wiping away her tears] And, you know, the crazy thing is, is that...[sitting up] as scared as I was...I wasn't surprised. All I could think was, it's about time. Why would I feeel that way? I mean, why would I expect him to be taken?" Kate "Because you took him, Kate." Cassidy "No, I...Claire was gone. I mean, she left him. I had to take him. He needed me." Kate "You needed him.

Notes:

1. The episode title, "Whatever Happened, Happened," was previously said by Daniel on two occasions, in Because You Left and La Fleur, while trying to explain that the past cannot be changed.
2. Young Ben's bullet-wound moves from the right side of his chest in the previous episode, to the left side and lower in this episode. I mean, come on, guys, did you really think I was going to believe you'd kill Ben so much in the last episode, and now you go and change the location of the wound and I'm supposed to take your seriously? Was that the April Fool's joke? Although, I really wanted Ben to be dead, not matter how much of a paradox that would have been. It would have been awesome.
3. From Lostpedia: (1) The episode was first broadcast on April 1st, 2009 (i.e., March 32nd), and it shares the central theme of the story March Has 32 Days from Mystery Tales No. 40, the comic book that was one of Richard's items presented to John Locke as a test in "Cabin Fever". In the 1956 story, a time traveler tries to alter history when he relives a day in his own past after struggling with the question of whether it would be possible to do anything differently if he had the opportunity to go back in time, just as Hurley and Miles struggled over the question. (2) In reference to Back to the Future, Hurley looks at his hand, waiting to see if he disappears. In this movie, Marty McFly's hand starts to disappear as he was being erased from existence because he had interfered with his parents' past, preventing his mother from falling in love with his father.
4. Kate sings Catch A Falling Star to Aaron, which Claire stated that she wanted to be sung to Aaron in Raised By Another. However, as far as we know, Claire never told Kate this. Although, it is perhaps true that Jack may have been the first to sing it to Aaron, considering Christian Shephard, both he and Claire's father, is the one that Claire got the song from to begin with. In Par Avion, Christan visits Claire in Australia and tells her that he visited her as a baby and sang that song to put her to sleep. It is possible that he also sang this song to Jack as well, who then passed it on to Aaron, and is the source from which Kate got the song. This song also played in the nursery for Aaron in The Staff, in Maternity Leave.
5. In Left Behind, Kate met Cassidy before she was on the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. 
6. Sawyer and Cassidy met in The Long Con, and Sawyer anonymously set up money for his daughter, Clementine, while he was incarcerated in Every Man For Himself.
7. Kate doesn't seem surprised that the mother of Sawyer's Daughter, Clementine Phillips, is the same woman she met in her past. This indicates that she probably did some research before meeting her.
8. I totally disagree with Cassidy's theory on why Sawyer jumped off the chopper. I do agree that he was selfish, but he's changed since she knew him. I truly believe that Sawyer did it to save his friends.
9. Jack, Kate and Hurley are like the worst liars ever. All they do is bring attention onto themselves, when they should be trying their damnedest to blend into the background.
10. Jack is such a d. Seriously, Jack, you complain, beg, cry and kick and scream about having to go back to the island, even go as far as to team up with the evil Benjamin Linus, and once you get there, you act like an asshole the whole time and you don't want to save him even when he's a damn child? What if you were the one that saved him? Seriously, what a douche.
11. You're right, Jack, Kate never liked the old you. That's the only thing I like about you in this episode.
12. Jack seems more and more like he is evolving into the character of John Locke.
13. Oh, you're a Universal Donor, Kate? Maybe that would've helped when Boone was dying!
14. No, Roger, a boy doesn't just need his mother. He needs a dad that's not an alcoholic douche bag that can't even remember his birthday even though it's the same day his wife died. You'd think he would have been a better father after this happening.
15. While Hurley and Miles discuss time travel, Hurley wonders why Benjamin Linus wouldn't remember Sayid from their first meeting in 1977, when the meet for a second time in One of Them.
16. Hurley and Miles' Discussions on Time Travel 101 are seriously brilliant.
17. I love how Juliet, Kate and Sawyer work together in this episode against Jack.
18. If I have to see that scene at the Long Beach Marina where Ben tells Sun about Jin being alive and the woman in Los Angeles that can help them, I am going to kill either someone or myself.
19. The scene in the supermarket is both frightening and disturbing.
20. Again, Cassidy, you're wrong. Sawyer didn't break Kate's heart, she broke his. I totally disagree.
21. I love Juliet sticking it to Jack and calling him out on his bullshit.
22. It makes no sense whatsoever how distraught Kate was over leaving Aaron. She left him with his frakking grandmother. If she comes back from the island, with or without Claire, obviously she'll be able to see Aaron again. Don't ever ask you about Aaron again, really?Overreaction much, Kate? Seriously, I thought Kate killed Aaron or something. She acted like a crazy person. Why are her stories always so disappointing?
23. I think Ben suddenly losing his memory and innocence is a little too convenient for the story, and pretty damn cheap, if you ask me.
24. The "Previously on LOST" sucks. I hate when they give away what's going to happen in the episode by explaining everything that came before it, so you know exactly what's going to be revealed in the new episode. It ruins watching the whole thing for me. If it weren't for that, I may have liked this episode a little bit more. I'm sorry, but if you haven't seen the episodes that came before, then go watch them. Fans of this show are loyal and thorough. I don't like being treated like I'm not smart enough to remember what happened before. That's why I watch LOST and not Grey's Anatomy. Don't treat me like I'm an idiot.
25. They explain the rules of time travel really well in this episode. Also, hilarious.
26. That all being said, I'm not the biggest fan of this episode either.
