Everybody really does love Hugo. Ghosts talk to him, his mother loves him (though kind of a bitch), odd women from mental institutions, his employees, perfectly good Scottish strangers, buckets of chicken, mental health professionals, and even Flocke.
As always I have broken this up from on and off island...
Off-Island:
It's pretty clear now that the "alternative universe" is definitely relevant, and connected to the the on-island timeline, though we're not yet sure how or why yet. Anyways, Hugo is a huge success in this timeline. He has all the money in the world, he goes around helping people with the money he has made, yet there is still 1 thing he doesn't have. Love.
His mother sets him up on a blind date with the neighbor's daughter. Hugo shows up, but the date doesn't show. After a while a blonde sits down at the table with Hugo. Hugo obviously thinking this is his date, asks her to sit down. This woman starts going on and on about how she knows him somehow, and that they are connected. We come to find out this is Libby! Yet, with LOST there is always a catch. She is actually on a little retreat from the mental institution. Ummm, before we go on, these "trips" can't be allowed in real life, or at least I hope not, because letting a bunch of crazies go in a restaurant sound like the worst idea ever. But lets not think about that and move on...
Libby is eventually ushered away by her doctor, and put in a van back to the mental institution. Hugo, who was already feeling shitty since his date didn't show, is now feeling even worse, because he really liked Libby, but she is crazy, and he goes and eats his troubled away with from fried chicken.
While pounding away some chicken Desmond comes into the fast food joint. Hugo eventually notices that Desmond has been staring at him. Desmond comes and sits at the table, and makes "Holy shit that's a lot of chicken comment". Hugo then explains that he eats when he is depressed, and tells him about his day.
We saw in the previous episode that Desmond is going around tracking down the passengers of Flight 815 in an apparent attempt to trigger in them memories of the On-Island timeline. Desmond pushes Hurley to not give up on her, and to go see what he can find out. Hugo decides to do so, and makes his way to the hospital. There he is stopped by the same doctor from the restaurant, but Hugo quickly pays him off and goes in to meet Libby.
Libby is more then excited to see Hurley, because she thinks that he remember this "other timeline" (which would mean she isn't crazy). Hurley doesn't, but he admits that he still wants to take her out on a date. She is there voluntarily, so she takes him up on his offer, and they head to the beach (just like they wanted to in the on-island timeline before she got capped by Michael).
While sitting on the beach Libby finally kisses Hugo, which causes him to have a flash to the other timeline. This proves that Libby isn't crazy. Desmond, watching near by in his car, knows that they now know and moves on. After creeping by a school for awhile (hilarious) Desmond sees Locke wheeling himself up the street. I don't know if he wanted him dead, because he knows he's a smoke monster, or if he is trying to give him a near death experience to jog his memory, but he chases him down in his car and hits him. Locke is laying very beat up on the street and that's the last we see of that.
On-Island:
Hurley is becoming a leader. He can talk to dead people, and now people are starting to respect what he says. Richard has a plan to go blowup the plane, so that Flocke can't use it to leave the island. To pull this plan off Richard and Ilana have collected some dynamite from the Black Rock.
Suddenly Michael appears to Hurley, and tells him that if they go through with Richard's plan a lot of people are going to die. Hugo doesn't really listen to this, since Michael is the one who killed Libby. Shortly after Ilana is rounding everyone up to head off towards the plane. Then she blows up because of the unstable dynamite. All I have to say is thank you LOST, I really didn't give a shit about her.
After this shocking sequence Hurley decides that they should still follow through with Richard's plan, or at least that's what he wants them to think. They arrive at the Black Rock to pick up more dynamite, but this time Richard (who can't die) is going to carry it (really should have been the plan in the 1st place). Anyways, they notice Hurley is missing, then we see him running towards the group. The Black Rock explodes, and now there is seemingly no way to blowup the plane. Richard is not pleased, and throws a fit. After he calms down he remembers that there are more explosives in one of the Dharma hangouts. Richards asks people to join him, but only 2 decide to go (Ben/Miles). The rest of the group (Frank, Jack, Sun, Hurley) head off to meet up with Flocke.
Meanwhile, Desmond is tied to a tree by evil robot Sayid. Sayid goes and gets Flocke to deal with this situation. Flocke seems very surprised that Desmond is back, and also doesn't seem to know all that much about him. After a long walk and talk Flocke and Desmond come to a well. Flocke seems to be getting along with Desmond, but asks him why he isn't afraid. Desmond replies that he doesn't really see the point. Apparently that was the incorrect answer and Desmond is thrown down the well (don't worry he's fine).
Now we cut back to Hurley and jack walking in the jungle looking for camp Flocke. Jack has a heart to heart with Hugo, where he self diagnoses himself, blaming himself for Juliet dying and his compulsive need to fix everything. “Maybe I’m supposed to let go”.
Hugo counter with “Unless you letting go gets us killed”. At this point jack really doesn't care and says he trusts Hurley. At that moment, Hurley hears the voices of the Island’s ghosts, and he runs off and sees Michael again. He explains that he’s a spirit that can’t move on because of what they did in his life. He shows Hurley where Locke is, and tells him to apologize to Libby if he ever sees her again.
When Flocke returns to his camp, he tell Sayid he doesn’t have to worry about him anymore, and Sawyer comes to berate him with more questions, when Hurley walks into their camp. He negotiates a truce before the rest of his guys come out. When they do, there are half smiles and looks between the several castaways who have been kept apart, but other than a sinister “Hello Jack” uttered by Locke, we’re all going to have to wait for their conversation next week.
Questions:
- What is the deal with Desmond? How does he know who to nudge to remember things, and who to run over with a car?
- Is the "donkey wheel" in the same well that Desmond has been thrown in?
- Does Flocke actually want all these people to leave with him, or does he have to kill everyone "candidate" to get off?
- How did the off-island timeline start? Jack's bomb? The hatch? Flocke? Jacob?
- Who the fuck is that little kid that is running around pissing off Flocke? Jacob?
Theories:
- People who are going to die: Richard, Ben, Miles, Sawyer, Sayid.
- The "off-island timeline" is going to stop soon. Don't know how, but I really think we will have 1 timeline soon.
- The little kid running around has to be Jacob.
As always leave any questions or theories in the comment section.
