Teaser:
Libby and Hurley jog along the beach. Hurley is out of breath, while Libby tries to encourage him. He comes to a stop. She says that some people have a slow metabolism. He says that he's sick. He starts to walk off. She grabs him and tells him to trust her.
Hurley shows Libby his stash of food. He says that when they found the food in the Hatch, he gave some away, but kept the rest of it. She tells him to just get rid of it. Hurley starts opening up packages of food and spilling them all over the ground. When he's done, he tells Libby that he feels free. He gives her a hug. She starts to move closer. Jin and Sun run by, saying that they found something.
Everyone runs up to the food drop that was found the night before. They start scurrying around like locusts. Sawyer says that they are out of control. Charlie suggests that someone trustworthy like Hurley should oversee the food. Hurley vehemently refuses, since his vice has just come back. Libby suggests that no one has to be in charge. Sawyer makes a snide comment to that. Hurley spots a bald guy next to the food who nods at Hurley. Hurley looks around and spots the guy near the edge of the clearing. The man nods at Hurley and slips into the woods. Hurley takes off after him and Libby notices.
Hurley chases the man through the woods until he trips. He finds a tan shoe near where he fell and says, 'Uh-oh."

In the armory, Sayid and Ana Lucia interrogate Gale. Gale claims that the real Gale was already dead with a broken neck. Sayid pulls out some cash and reads a note that the real Gale wrote to his wife, Jennifer. In it, he says that he's heading to the beach. Sayid calls Gale's lie and Gale says that he didn't do it. Sayid wants info, but Gale says that "he" would definitely not like Gale telling anything. Sayid asks if "he" is the bearded guy and Gale says that the bearded man is "nobody." Sayid wants to know how many of them there are. Gale refuses to tell. Sayid aims the gun. Gale says that he's a good person. Just as Sayid pulls the trigger, Ana Lucia knocks his arm.

Libby walks up to Hurley's shelter. She wants to know if he's okay, but he doesn't want to talk about it. She notices that he has a lot of peanut butter. He says that he's moving to the caves where no one else is, so that he won't hurt anyone. She tries to tell him that he doesn't have to do it.

Hurley closes the window and locks Dave out.
Hurley opens his eyes and sees Dave. He closes his eyes again and then opens them again to still see Dave. Dave asks for his slipper back. Dave sits next to Hurley and wants to know what happened after that. Hurley says that he realized that Dave wasn't real, got better, got his job back and won the lottery. Dave says that he imagined all that and that he's still back in Santa Rosa . Dave pokes holes in the whole plot because of the numbers that Hurley won the lottery were Leonard's numbers and the numbers in the Hatch. Dave says that the whole Island is in his imagination and that the people are parts of his subconscious. Dave says that he's the part that wants to wake up.
Dave leads Hurley to a cliff. He tells Hurley that if he jumps, he'll wake up in the real world. Dave then deliberately falls back off the cliff.

Locke enters the armory. He wants to know "Gale's" real name, but he won't answer. Locke then asks if he got caught on purpose. "Gale" says that god doesn't know about the Island any more than anyone else. Locke suggests that the Others want to know where the Hatch is. "Gale" says that he stood in front of the computer, let the numbers count down to be replaced by symbols, then heard the mechanism that sounds like a magnet. He says that he didn't do anything as everything reset itself. Locke doesn't believe him, but "Gale" says that he's done lying.
Libby finds Hurley by the cliff. He says that she isn't real like everyone else. He says that he seems to know her because he made her up and that no real woman would ever like him. Libby asks him the name of the man whose broken leg she treated. Hurley says that he doesn't know. She says that it's because it happened to her. She kisses him and says that that was real. He wants her to do it again. She convinces Hurley to go back. They start off, holding hands.
