I forgot the third option - they're all entirely deluded and never received instructions from anyone with neither Jacob nor the MIB not caring one whit what happened to them ever.
And of course this being Lost, and considering the slight of hand they pulled by introducing the MIB out of nowhere, maybe it'll turn out that Jack is not actually Jack, but a manifestation of some Woman in Gray who we've never been introduced to before or something.
