Lost - The Complete Second Season on DVD
Second Season [Blu-ray]
"Dave" is the 42nd episode of Lost. It
is the eighteenth episode of the second season. The episode was
directed by Jack Bender, and written by Edward Kitsis and Adam
Horowitz. It first aired on April 5, 2006 on ABC. The character of Hugo
"Hurley" Reyes is the main feature of the episode, with Libby being the
focus of one flashback.
Plot
Centric Character(s): Hurley
A new crate of food has suddenly appeared in the jungle. Just after
Hurley gets rid of his store of food from the hatch, everyone begins
sorting through it. While this is happening, Hurley notices a bald,
middle-aged man wearing pajamas and a dressing-gown staring at him. The
man then flees into the jungle.
In flashback, Hurley is in a mental institution office speaking to his
doctor, Dr. Brooks. Hurley feels that his weight is a major source of
his problems, in part because of an accident when Hurley walked onto a
deck with 23 people (built to hold only 8) which then collapsed,
resulting in the deaths of two people, and Hurley going into a
catatonic state. Dr. Brooks tries to convince him that it wasn't his
fault, and also asks Hurley about his "negative" friend Dave, who tells
Hurley to ignore the doctors, avoid his medication, and try to escape.
Dr. Brooks proves to Hurley that Dave isn't real, by taking a photo of
the two of them and then showing Hurley that Dave isn't in the picture.
Also in the institution, Hurley plays Connect Four with another patient
named Leonard, from whom he hears the numbers. In a later escape
attempt, Hurley steals keys from Brooks's desk and unlocks a window.
Dave hops out of it, but Hurley suddenly refuses to follow him — he
realizes that in order to become better mentally and physically, he
needs Dave out of his life and shuts the window on him.
On the island, Sayid and Ana-Lucía interrogate "Henry Gale," who tells
a new story of being part of a rescue team and finding the real Henry
Gale dead, hanging from a balloon, and burying him out of common human
decency. Sayid proves this false by reading a message that Gale wrote
to his wife, Jenny, on a twenty-dollar bill that was found in his
wallet. Exposed, "Henry" lets it slip that he knows the bearded man,
saying, "He is nothing" and that there is an authority figure even
higher than him.
Locke is puzzled as to whether Henry intended to be caught or not, and
asks if the Others wanted to know the location of the hatch, but Henry
says that the hatch is a joke: during the lockdown, he never entered
the numbers into the computer or pushed the button. He let the timer
run down to 0, and saw red hieroglyphs appear along with a loud
"clunking" noise like a big magnet. A short time later, the number 108
reappeared and the noise stopped.
While chasing Dave through the jungle, Hurley finds a box of DHARMA
"Fish Crackers", and begins gorging on them, until Dave reappears and
taunts Hurley into chasing him again. Dave tells him that everything
that has happened since the night of the escape attempt has been a
fantasy — that after Dave escaped, Hurley went back into a catatonic
state and has imagined everything since then. As proof, Dave points out
that Hurley won the lottery with numbers from Leonard, which were the
same numbers as the code for the button at the hatch. Dave tells Hurley
that he is still dreaming, and that the way out of this catatonic state
is to tell his mind it is not real by following Dave and jumping off a
cliff. Before Hurley can decide whether or not to follow him, Libby
finds him. He tells her that none of this is real, that even she is
made up by the part of his mind that does not want to wake up, but she
convinces him otherwise, in part by kissing him.
In the final flashback in the mental hospital, during the moment Dr.
Brooks took the picture of Hurley and Dave, a different angle shows
that there is another patient staring at Hurley from across the room.
The patient is revealed to be Libby with red hair.
