On the beach, Sawyer is arguing with Hurley, claiming that they should just wait on the beach for everyone else to return. Hurley thinks that not passing on a warning pretty much defeats the purpose of a warning, and everyone picks up their big guns in preparation for the trek through the jungle.
Flash-forward to Hurley, back in the nuthouse. He's kicking some guy's ass at Connect Four when a nurse approaches with his meds and the message that he has a visitor. Hurley looks over at the visitor -- it's Lance Reddick, from The Wire, looking kind of creepy. Hurley walks over to him, and he introduces himself as Matthew Abaddon, an attorney for Oceanic. Abaddon tells Hurley that Oceanic feels just awful about the difficulties he's having, and they'd like to help him out by picking up the tab for him to stay at a much fancier nuthouse. Hurley's been stepped on enough by The Man to know that this sounds like bullshit, so he asks for a business card. Abaddon seems to have forgotten all of his, wouldn't you know. Hurley starts to talk away, and Abaddon asks him, "Are they still alive?" The question, along the change in background music, cue Hurley to start yelling for a nurse. As orderlies come to subdue him, he sees Abaddon sneak out of the room.
