Why libby was in mental hospital

It wasn't until Ana put her at gunpoint she complied and tied up Sayid, disgusted and feeling betrayed by her fellow survivor. Libby, along with Bernard, then decided to leave Ana Lucia alone with Sayid, not agreeing with her actions.

She was then united with the middle section survivors. After integrating herself with the middle section survivors , Libby took a liking to Hurley , who had helped her to build her own shelter at the beach camp as an act of kindness. Later in the Swan station, Hurley revealed his attraction to Libby during a discussion with Charlie about whether he had a chance with her. Libby smiles at Hurley , on her way to do laundry. Hurley's crush on Libby was addressed further when he asked Sawyer about the tail end survivors, in particular Libby.

Sawyer perceptively asked if Hurley liked her, but Hurley denied this and left, clearly embarrassed. Libby began to bond with Hurley and engaged in playful flirting while they were building shelter and doing the laundry together. During this time Hurley commented that Libby looked familiar. She was somewhat evasive about this, hastily replying with a story about how he stood on her foot after boarding the plane.

This was probably a lie she had constructed for unknown reasons, most likely because she was trying to conceal their time together at the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. Evidence of this is the fact she was in the tail section of the plane, where Hurley would not have passed through to get to his seat.

Libby helps Claire to recover the memories of her time with the Others at The Staff. After seeing flashes from her memory of the week in which she was abducted by the Others, Claire decided to go to Libby and ask for her help, aware of her skills as a psychologist and ex-med student. Claire and Kate informed Libby about Ethan and the circumstances of her abduction. Libby treated Claire and helped her regain her repressed memories through a form of meditation.

The two sat meditating for some time until Claire suddenly began to scream, having visions of Ethan and the Staff station. Libby tried to calm Claire down, but she was unsuccessful. Kate rushed to Claire's aid and interrogated Libby, thinking, she had tried to hurt her instead.

Claire asked Libby to help her uncover more memories. Libby refused due to Claire's previous reaction. This led Claire on her journey with Kate and Rousseau to the Staff station. Libby reveals to Jack Sawyer 's poker tournament. Libby later approached Jack and told him a sea urchin had stung her on the hand while she was in the water. When she asked for his help, he told her she should use some Neosporin.

She replied the going rate was too high as Sawyer had hoarded all the medicines and was making people pay for them in favors. Jack challenged Sawyer to a game of poker in order to win supplies back. Along with Hurley and Kate , Libby bemusedly watched the card game showdown between Jack and Sawyer from a distance. Libby and Hurley started to do regular exercise together across the beach , helping them bond as a potential couple.

While exercising one day, Hurley confessed to her about having an eating disorder. He showed Libby his private stash of food in the jungle. Despite his initial hesitation, and with encouragement from Libby, Hurley agreed to Libby's proposal and they destroyed all the stash. Libby learns of Hurley 's problem. Shortly after however, they learned of the mysterious food drop from Sun and Jin. At the drop site arguments started over the food and Libby suggested that everyone should only take what they needed.

She saw Hurley run from the drop site into the jungle. Later, she questioned him about what happened, but he was evasive saying, he didn't "want to talk about it".

Hurley and Libby's first kiss. Later that day, Libby heard of Sawyer and Hurley's fight and went to Hurley's tent. She found him packing his bag and he told her he was leaving the beach in favor of the caves. They had a minor argument where she tried to talk him out of it, but he left the beach camp nonetheless. Libby followed Hurley all the way to a cliff top, where she approached him as he was dangerously close to the edge, which scared her.

When she confronted him he claimed to believe the current moment and everything that had happened since the crash of Flight were all created by his imagination.

Furthermore, he believed Libby and everyone on the island to be figments of his imagination. Libby tearfully recalled having to bury people possibly meaning her husband David and the numerous tail-section survivors. She told Hurley she was insulted by what he had said. Hurley began to see her point of view and she explained everything she felt for him was real.

They then had their first kiss and headed back to the camp on a high. Libby warns Ana Lucia not to do anything stupid, after their prisoner attempted to murder her. Libby was present at Bernard 's speech about making an S. Libby approached Ana Lucia about the cut she had on her forehead. Ana first joked and said, she had cut herself shaving, but then confessed, the prisoner in the Hatch had attacked her.

Libby, knowing of Ana Lucia's aggressive and violent nature, warned her not to do anything stupid. Hurley decided to take Libby for a nice picnic - to the same location Sayid had taken Shannon the night before she died - on their first official date.

However, he ended up leading her around in circles in the jungle due to him getting lost. Libby eventually proposed they stay on a secluded part of their own beach and she would go and get the blankets from the Swan while he gets wine from Sun and Jin. Michael shoots Libby. At this point, Hurley and Neil had a minor argument over their vying affections for Libby where Hurley stated he had a date with her.

Upon entering the Swan, she witnessed Michael , whom she didn't know had returned from his time with the Others , murdering Ana Lucia. She exclaimed his name in shock, and alarmed by Libby's sudden appearance, Michael shot her twice in the abdomen, through the blankets she had collected for her date with Hurley.

With her last breath, Libby warns Jack of Michael. He told them the imprisoned Other had shot and killed Ana Lucia and Libby and shot him in the arm. Libby regained consciousness and coughed up blood, and it was discovered Libby was alive and in deep shock saved momentarily by the force of the bullets being stopped by the blankets.

Jack battled to save her life with Hurley at her side as he apologized for forgetting the blankets. When it became clear she wasn't going to survive, Jack gave her heroin from Sawyer's stash to numb the pain. She eventually succumbed to her injuries and died, much to everyone's devastation. Before dying, she uttered "Michael" to warn the survivors who shot her, but this was misinterpreted as asking if Michael had survived.

She died with a look of shock on her face, as she realized the others had misunderstood what she was trying to say. Hurley recounts his friends' capture at Libby's grave. Libby was buried in the graveyard along with Ana Lucia, but their funeral was interrupted by the return of Desmond on the Elizabeth , the very boat she had given him years ago.

When Michael later confessed the murders to Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Hurley, he pleaded that killing Libby was an accident. I think Libby is too important to be dead already. I think Libby will be back, screaming and dirty, but she'll be back. Post by number6 Post by Deneph I'm not so sure that Libby is really dead. David Cheatham. Why would he want him to have it? Just because they both liked sailing or did Libby's husband know Desmond?

Just something that caught my attention. Post by Shevek If they are, what would be the timeline fot being a rich widow and staying in a poor mental hospital? Barry Lee. TheNewsGuy Mike. Elizabeth's appearrance at the airport with Desmond was so "contrived", her hairstyle was a bad wig that didn't fit and those painted on auburn eyebrows were so fake Libby was in "disquise" for whatever reason I don't know Mitch Crane.

Libby was in "disquise" for whatever reason I don't know. Ryan Robbins. Post by Ryan Robbins No it doesn't. You can't commit somebody just because they are mentally unstable. They never liked her and wanted her money.

Shannon was accidentally shot by Ana Lucia Cortez who mistakes her for an Other. Naveen Andrews, who played the character Sayid on the show, had the idea of encouraging the writers to write a romantic relationship between his character and Shannon into the story. All of the above stems from the exposure Walt had to a source of electromagnetic energy in Australia. They abducted him because he was a child and the Others had a habit of taking kids that ended up on the Island, because of their own fertility woes.

The Others kidnapped all of the children that were on the island. After Cooper mocks his letter of vengeance, Sawyer strangles him to death in a fit of anger. So, to clear up the confusion: in the flashsideways scenes, these characters are dead.
