One of the best parts about a show like "LOST" is that even after years, fans still remember the details. For example, it may have been the end of season two when Michael shot Libby and Ana Lucia, but in season six this horrific act of betrayal is still very fresh to LOST fans. Michael tried to seek redemption in season four by going on the freighter back to the Island, and once he accomplished what he was meant to, he died in the freighter explosion. Now it seems like Michael didn't really get the redemption he's looking for, because he's still stuck on that damn Island ... this time as a ghost. No one feels bad for him, because he murdered two women and sold out the rest of the Losties. We hold grudges like that.
This week is a Hurley episode, and it is always good to see the sweetest member of the cast in the spotlight. First in the Sideways world, Hurley is a successful and wealthy businessman. He owns Mr. Cluck's, the place he used to work at. His mother tries to set him up on a blind date, but instead of that woman arriving he meets someone else: a blond lady named Libby. She comes up to him and says she knows him, wonders if he believes in love at first sight, and Hurley's quite enamored with her until a doctor comes over and takes her away. Libby is in a mental institute, the same one Hurley was in with her in the original world. Desmond comes and gives him some advice, telling him to go see Libby. She tells him about the Island and her memories of him, but Hurley doesn't remember anything. They finally get to go on that picnic date they planned for on the Island, and Hurley even remembers the blankets this time. When he asks her why she could possibly like him, echoing his own question of her all those seasons ago, she does the same thing she did before: she kisses him. This makes him remember everything, and the two happily reunite. AW.
