* CrossReferencedTitles: With Season 2's "[[Recap/LostS02E04EverybodyHatesHugo Everybody Hates Hugo]]". Both are Hurley centric, although this episode contrasts the beloved and confident Flash-sideways Hurley with that episode's lonely, self-conscious Hurly right before his life is upended by his lottery win.

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: Although at first glance the episode is mostly setting up the pieces for the more dramatic twists to come, it features the SurprisinglySuddenDeath of Ilana, many hints to the true nature of the Flash-sideways, and demonstrates Hurley's growing leadership qualities [[spoiler:that ultimately lead him to become the Island's protector at the end of the series.]]

!Tropes in this episode include:
* DeadPersonConversation: Michael's ghost appears to advise Hurley on what to do next, and apologizes for killing Ana Lucia and Libby.
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: Ilana is very abruptly blown up when she drops a bag of dynamite. The showrunners have stated this was a quick way to write her out of the show when they realized that they didn't have time to include her originally planned arc.
-->'''Ben:''' [[LampshadeHanging There she was - handpicked by Jacob, trained to come and protect you candidates, no sooner does she tell you who you are, then she blows up. The Island was done with her]].
