Lets call this the great Dave debate. This episode will be the one we’ll be talking about for a long time to come. For some reason I didn’t notice the “previously on lost” at the beginning but in any case here we go.

Hurley and Libby jogging on beach
Talks about how out of shape he is
He confesses and shows her his secret stash.
She convinces him to change and he decides to get rid of it.
Now finds out there was a food drop
He sees Dave

He supposedly met Dave at the mental institution.
He was placed there by his mother due to “the accident”
Later we find out the accident put Hurley into a state of depression where he wouldn’t talk or do anything for a couple of months.

Hurley apparently was at a party of sorts and went out on the deck
This deck had been built for 8 people but had 23 on it
Hurley being the last one to go on it blames himself for the collapse of the deck and feels responsible for the two deaths that occurred.

He chases Dave on the island and falls before he can catch him.
Finds Daves’ slipper
Thinks he’s going crazy for seeing him
Goes to Sawyer for some meds he used to take
(Funny scene)
At the beach Hurley runs away to go live in the caves and stumbles upon food
And then Dave shows up
Hurley says “you’re not really here” Dave then beams him with a coconut which hurts him.

At the mental Inst.

Hurleys’ doc tells him Dave is being a bad influence on him and he shouldn’t follow Dave.
Dave doesn’t want Hurley to take the pills he was given.
Dave doesn’t want Hurley to change he likes Hurley just the way he is.
Doc takes a pic of them for bulletin board (look at the polaroid camera it has a label on the front of it, it could be something.)

Later shows it to Hurley and Dave is not in the pic.
Doc tells Hurley, Dave is just an imaginary friend who likes him.
Hurley is awoken at night by Dave
Hurley tells him about the picture Dave says it must have been photo shopped at Kinkos
He wants Hurley to escape with him to get cheeseburgers.
Hurley apparently stole the keys from the Doc

Dave goes out the caged window and Hurley locks it up and stays inside telling Dave to go away.

On the Island
Dave and Hurley have a talk about what’s going on
Dave acknowledges to Hurley that he is a figment of his imagination but also tells Hurley that after that night. You went into a deeper depression and your trapped in your subconscious.

You won the lotto using the numbers
You saw Ernie (the psych ward numbers guy) in the hatch (I don’t remember that but that’s what he said)
You’ve been on an island for two months and you haven’t lost any weight
You created a beautiful blonde who’s falling for you
Your still at the mental institution

Dave tells him the only way to get back is to jump off the cliff and he will wake up

Hurley believes him especially after Dave himself jumps off and plummets down.

Just them Libby shows up
Hurley suspicious now thinks he’s still making her up “remember I said you looked familiar its because I made you up.”
Libby tries to prove she’s real when she asks Hurley about the man who broke his leg on the other side of the island.



Libby -- “What was his name?”

Hurley -- “I don’t know”

Libby -- “His name was Robert, I buried him Hurley” “I buried a lot of people” ”Your didn’t know that because it happened to me” “Stop saying you made me up it’s insulting”

She and Hurley kiss and he returns to camp with her.

Flashback
Different angle of Doc taking Polaroid at the Mental institution. It shows Hurley putting his arm around an imaginary person in a chair and when they pan around a nurse is giving another patient their meds.

The other mental patient is LIBBY.

As for our friend Henry Gale,

He’s tied up and makes up another story about being part of the search party for the real Henry and he was already dead with a broken neck in the basket when he found him.
Sayid had also found a letter from the real Henry written on the back of a bill to his wife Jennifer. “How could he write if he was dead?” Sayid about to kill him when Anna moves his arm and Sayid nearly misses Henry. Henry says the guy with the beard is nothing.

Later Locke wants to talk one on one with him and still wants to know his real name.

(not verbatim)

Henry - Just call me Henry I’ve gotten used to it.
Locke - God only knows how you got caught being one of them.
Henry - God doesn’t know anything about this place he can’t see this place.
Locke – Were you trying to find this place.
Henry – This? This is nothing when I crawled through the vents to the computer and it
was counting down the timer reached zero. Red symbols that look like hyroglyphics came up I don’t know I’m no expert but then there was a noise like a magnet and generators, it was scary end then all of a sudden the numbers flipped back to 108. I never typed in the numbers. I didn’t do anything.
Locke – Your lying.
