It's Hurley's turn to hallucinate. Kate, Jack, Charlie and Locke have had their turn at some point and in this episode Hurley sees his friend Dave that he created while he was committed pre island. Dave convinces him that the island is not real and he's dreaming it all. To wake from the dream, Dave tells him to jump from a cliff. Thankfully Libby shows up in time to disprove Dave and stop Hurley from jumping.
I think this episode was created to show that Lost isn't someone's dream, but it's actually happening. I'm sure it quelled a lot of concerns for fans, but still teased them by showing that Libby was also a mental patient at one point.
Overall, Hurley episodes are usually pretty interesting, but this one was a little lack luster. Like how the last episode humanized Locke, this episode humanized Hurley showing that he feels responsible for killing two people pre island, dealing with that fact, and moving on from it...which is a common theme in Lost.
