"Lost" Clues: Season 2, Episode 18 "Dave"



Official ABC recap:

Dave
Air Date: 04/05/2006
As Locke recovers from the incident with the blast doors, the situation with Henry heats up. Henry admits to Sayid that he is indeed an Other, but that he will be killed if he talks. So our group becomes jailors in effect, keeping watch over the prisoner of war.

Hurley and Libby's relationship also heats up when Libby takes it upon herself to try and get Hurley into shape. Hurley comes clean and confesses to Libby that he's "sick" -- that he has a problem with food -- and shows her that he's been hoarding food from the hatch.

Libby encourages Hurley to destroy it, but the moment he does, the pallet is discovered by the entire group, causing Hurley to have a breakdown...

In FLASHBACK, Hurley's time spent in a mental institution is revealed. And as Hurley's addiction haunts him on the island, so does a friend from his past -- a fellow patient from the mental institution that will make Hurley question his very sanity.

Meanwhile, Eko continues building in the jungle and reveals to Charlie that he's constructing a church, enlisting his help.

And when Locke finally confronts Henry, Henry confesses that he did not push the button after he crawled through the vents during the lockdown -- but more interestingly, he reveals that NOTHING happened as a result. The world did NOT come to an end, a fact that John Locke is going to have a difficult time digesting…


Observations/speculation

* The shocker: Libby was in the mental ward with Hurley, as a patient. But he didn't know it then and she isn't telling him. What's the deal? Is she stalking him, spying on him? Or is this just another "Lost" random coincidence, such as Kate's mom waiting on Sawyer or Kate's dad dealing with Sayid in Iraq? Are we meant to think Libby realizes when and where she first met Hurley? She sure gets a funny look on her face behind Hurley's back at the end of the episode. Did she follow him onto the plane, or was she just on the same flight by chance? She bears close watching.



* The theory is floating around the message boards that Libby is a golddigger, trying to get ahold of Hurley's lottery millions. But Hurley's mental ward stay took place before he won all his money.

* Does "Henry" lie every time he opens his mouth or is he telling the truth about not punching in the numbers?

* Who is the "he" Henry mentions when being interrogated by Sayid? It's not "Zeke," the supposed leader of the Others. Henry says Zeke is "nothing" compared to this other mysterious person. Is it Hanso? DeGroot? Zeke, himself, makes a mention to a "he" in an earlier episode.

* Why was the real Henry Gale killed? The Others generally have a reason when they've killed people.

* Did anyone notice the plot of this ep is pretty much a knockoff of a "Buffy" episode where she imagines she's a mental patient imagining all the circumstances of her series?

* Dave says "see you in another life" to Hurley. Desmond says the same thing to Jack in an earlier episode.

* The mystery numbers pop up again. The balcony was supposed to hold 23 people, but collapsed under eight.
