S2: Everybody Hates Hugo

The title of this episode threw me at first.  I thought it was going to be a bad episode when I saw the word hate but thankfully I was wrong.

The side story again was very cryptic.  Michael, Jin and Sawyer are finally let out of the hole/prison and brought to another Dharma station.  I believe it is the Arrow.  The survivors of the tail section are skeptical and seem very afraid at the moment.

The heart of the story, of course, is happening back at the hatch.  Hugo is put in charge of inventorying and potential rationing of the food supply that was discovered there.  Unfortunately, this reminds Hugo of his time off the island when he won the lottery.  He had everything and everyone was jealous of him and friends were lost.  He didn't want history to be repeated.  He decides to blow up the food with the leftover dynamite that they brought back from the Black Rock.  Thankfully Rose talks him out of it and Hugo decides to give all the food away.  Hugo is successful with his plan and everybody loves him.  The end music that plays while everyone has smiles on their faces was very moving.  Great episode.
