When Hurley becomes obsessed with the French woman and heads into the jungle to find her, Jack, Sayid and Charlie have no choice but to follow. Meanwhile, Locke asks Claire to help build a mysterious item, which is later revealed to be a cradle for Claire's baby. Hurley flashes back to the hugely life-altering experience he had before boarding the plane. He wins the lottery - the number-one thing Americans dream about - but it ends up being the worst thing that could have happened to him. The winning numbers, and their source, were apparently cursed and have brought harm to everyone Hurley loves. We learn some of the spooky story behind the numbers and their connection to the island.

A Hurley-centric episode.
