Plot

Flashback

Following the discovery of Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) about the winning lottery number. Hurley kept his victory a secret, and quit his job at a fast-food restaurant with his friend Johnny (DJ Qualls). The couple enjoy themselves by making jokes at their former boss, and go to the record store where Hurley asks his friend Starla (Marguerite Moreau). Hurley asks Johnny to promise that they will never change, and Johnny does. Johnny pulls into a local gas station to buy beer, but the news crew notices talking to the officer. When the officer loudly showed Hurley as a winning lottery ticket buyer, Johnny's stunned expression clearly revealed that, despite his promise, everything had changed.

On the island

At Swan station, Hurley struggles with food rationing. Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan) asks Hurley whether the bunker contains food, especially peanut butter for Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin), but Hurley will not answer it. Hurley decided to ask Rose Henderson-Nadler (L. Scott Caldwell) to help him make an inventory. At one point, Hurley had a strange dream, in which Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) said Hurley, in English, that "everything will change." Hurley is becoming increasingly unsure of his ability to ration food in a way that makes everyone happy. He tries to quit, but John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) refuses to allow him. Hurley then prepares to blow up the kitchen with dynamite, but Rose intervenes. He explains that food, newfound wealth for the victims, will change everything and everyone will hate him, just as things change when everyone knows he won the lottery; But Rose talks about it from her plans. Later, Hurley tells Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) about his decision to hand over all the food, arguing that the grocery store is not so much when it is shared among all survivors. Food is freely distributed and the survivors enjoy the party. Everyone appreciated Hurley's decision, including Charlie, who gave generous a hug of reconciliation.

James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway), Michael Dawson (Harold Perrineau) and Jin learned that their captors survived the tail of Oceanic 815 and were taken to the DHARMA Initiative station, which they used for the sanctuary. A woman named Libby (Cynthia Watros) said that there were 23 survivors from the tail of the plane, although very little was left.

Meanwhile, the message bottle from the raft, where Michael, Sawyer, Jin, and Walt Lloyd were traveling, washing by the beach. Claire and Shannon Rutherford (Maggie Grace) gave it to Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim), Jin's wife, and she chose to bury the bottle on the beach. In the hold, Jack and Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) examine the mysterious concrete barricades that block what appears to be a corridor to other parts of the bunker. They found that the barrier was very thick and the corridor was also blocked at the foundation level. Later, Jack and Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) share a moment of sexual tension when she comes out of the bathroom with just a towel.

Production

"Everybody Hates Hugo" is the first episode of the series directed by Alan Taylor. Taylor has previously directed episodes of The Sopranos and Sex and the City . This episode was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the couple had previously written the episode "Born to Run".

The Libby character, played by Cynthia Watros, was introduced in this episode. Initially, Libby has been written for the late 40s or early 50s. Jennifer Jason Leigh was approached to play the role, but went to Watros instead. When Watros auditioned for part of Libby, he did not think that he would end up as a player. Once he, Watros and his twin daughters soon moved from Los Angeles to Hawaii. Bernard was also introduced in this episode. Because Rose is black, the producers think the audience will expect Rose's husband to be black too, and make Bernard white to surprise the audience. They expect the audience to think of Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), the only black man in the back who survived, is Bernard. L. Scott Caldwell, Rose's traitor, was unaware of their plans and had imagined her own husband, a tall black man, playing the screen. When he found Bernard white he was surprised, but not surprised.

This is the first time Raj V Bose, who plays shopkeeper, is credited. Bose has been a background actor in the series, playing a survivor of an accident and a flight attendant. Bose initially served to play Sanjay's role in the first season episode of "Born to Run (Lost)", but was forced to release the role after he had to teach a marketing class at the University of Phoenix. Casting agent Margaret Doversola then asks Bose to audition for part of the shop clerk and she gets a share.

For the flashback scene at the gas station, the crew hired 7-11 for a day. When Hurley drove in, the van was actually pushed instead of being pushed to remove any sound from the vehicle. However, every time the van is pushed it will stop or the time will stop. After the problem was solved, the rain began to fall, but finally stopped and the crew could get the shots before finally firing at midnight. Hurley's dream scene was shot at the Hawaii Film Studio, where the hold has been built. After each take Hurley to eat food in the hold, old food will be replaced with newer foods. Garcia actually does not eat all the food, he sometimes just chews it and then spits it into the trash. The chicken head that must be worn by Bose is very heavy, causing the actor Daniel Dae Kim to hold him while Bose sends his dialogue.
