LOST Season 2: Ep.4 - "Everybody Hates Hugo"

CHARACTER MODE

The title of the episode is very misleading because nobody really does hate Hugo because he prevents it from happening. Even though the episode doesn't show Jack and Locke deciding whether to inform the survivors about the hatch we can get a understanding why they haven't. Well first of all, they don't know if the hatch is going to be safe since considering that huge magnetic pull and how to explain everybody about entering those numbers in order to keep the world alive. So everyone is given a job, some cycle in between to enter the numbers, some are to keep a hush hush and some like Hurley have to keep the food now available, secret. This same exact situation correlates with what happened to Hurley when he won the lottery ticket. He kept his lottery ticket secret because he knew if he came forth everybody would treat him different, they would want something from him and if he doesn't fulfill`s their wishes they would eventually hate him. In the flashback we get to see this secret getting revealed the worst possible way, through his friend who felt betrayed because Hurley never told him. On the island, Hurley close friend, Charlie, starts to react the same way, first asking him for peanut butter which Hurley refuses to give, Charlie storms off. So Hurley decides to use the remaining explosives and blow up the food but Rose intervenes and demands an explanation. After talking him out of it Hurley approaches Jack and tells him that he will give a group of people a piece of food and keep them happy, just like how he decide to do with his winning from the lottery.

STORY MODE

Back on the other side of the island, the captors eventually release Michael, Sawyer and Jin from the whole but only to find out now their prisoners. The captors first clarify that they were also the surviving crew members of Oceanic 815. 23 had survived the crash but only 5 have remained alive. Its not clear why they attacked Jin, Sawyer and Michael, I thought they would be happy to see someone new coming from the ocean. I guess there is something more to it. The captors escort the prisoners to a save house where they meet Bernard, Rose`s husband. Wow, how did Rose know that Bernard would be save and alive, does she have some special powers.

On the other side of the island, Claire finds the bottle that contained all the messages of the crew members wash up the shore. She immediately fears the worse, so her and Shannon approach Sun to decide what to do. I order to keep the hope alive for everybody, Sun decides to bury the bottle.
