Hurley's relationships

Charlie and Hurley

First Episode: "Walkabout" Origin: Met on the island Since Then: The pair's first major scene together was when Charlie solicited Hurley's help in catching fish for Shannon. Later, Hurley built a golf course, and the two danced to distract other players. Claire got attacked shortly after, and Charlie heard the news from Hurley. Some days later, Charlie followed Hurley to Danielle' shack, and the two crossed a rope bridge together. When Hurley assumed control of the Swan pantry, Charlie asked him for a jar of peanut butter, and Hurley eventually complied. He also told Charlie about his lottery win, though Charlie didn't believe him. Hurley later asked Charlie about Libby. After the Swan implosion, Hurley and Charlie stumbled upon Desmond, and the two soon discussed Desmond's apparent powers. The two eventually got Desmond drunk to discover the truth about them. To avert Charlie's fate and Hurley's curse, the two started the DHARMA van. The two later went on a mission with Desmond and discovered Naomi. Charlie eventually came to terms with his imminent death, refused to let Hurley follow him to the Looking Glass and hugged him goodbye. Hurley shared the news of Charlie's death with Claire, crying, and consequently decided to join Locke's camp. Once Hurley returned to the mainland and checked himself into Santa Rosa, Charlie's ghost visited him repeatedly, urging him to return to the island and relaying a message from Christian. After Hurley died and woke up, he saw Charlie again and kidnapped him, taking him to the concert so he could wake too.

Hurley and Miles

First Episode: "Namaste" Origin: Miles arrives at Hurley's barracks to collect Charlotte. Hurley grumbled, "Great. The ship brought us another Sawyer." Since Then: Hurley escaped the island, but both of them ended up in working for the DHARMA initiative in the 1970s. Hurley discovered Miles's powers, and they compared notes. Hurley encouraged Miles to get in touch with his father. They traveled to the future, where Hurley's growing leadership role amused Miles.

Hurley and Sayid

First Episode: "Pilot, Part 1" Origin: Hurley approached Sayid after Sawyer's insults and said he was "cool" as far as he was concerned. Since Then: Hurley found Sayid after the latter returned from his exile. He went through the notes Sayid had stolen, and used Sayid's story to track down Danielle, though Sayid refused to give him specific directions. When Sayid was mourning Shannon, Hurley gave him a radio to fix from to take his mind off it, and the two listened to it together. Hurley later asked to borrow the radio again for a date with Libby, but Sayid instead suggested the date's location - a beach he'd visited with Shannon. When Naomi landed on the island, Hurley confided in Sayid rather than Jack. Sayid helped attack Others at the camp shortly after, and Hurley drove the DHARMA van to the beach, saving Sayid's life. Hurley then joined Locke's camp, tricking Sayid into an ambush, but he greeted Sayid happily when the two next met at the helicopter. They escaped the island together. Years later, Sayid sprung Hurley from Santa Rosa, shooting a man that had been watching the Institute. The two traveled to a safe house together, and Sayid killed more attackers, but the police suspected Hurley of the crimes. The attackers also managed to knock Sayid out, and Hurley had to save him, first taking him home and then delivering him to Jack. They returned to the Island on Ajira 316 but interacted little till Sayid had been shot. They then traveled to the Swan site together, and traveled to 2007. Hurley took Sayid to the Temple, where he drowned in the spring, and offered his support to Sayid's ghost. Sayid returned to life soon after though, and though he joined the Man in Black, Hurlkey continued to believe in him. After both died, Hurley sprung Sayid from prison and tried to wake him up. A trip to the safe house they'd once visited didn't work, but a visit to Shannon did.

Hurley and Sun

First Episode: "...And Found" Origin: The two crashed together Since Then: The two interacted little initially because Sun pretended not to know English. When Sun lost her wedding ring though, Hurley helped her search for it, and the two made conversation about her life in Seoul. Later, when Sun was taking a pregnancy test, and Hurley was sneaking a chocolate bar, she and Hurley bumped into each other in the jungle, each with their own secret. The two escaped the island together, and Hurley visited her in Korea after Ji-Yeon's birth, making him the only one of the Oceanic Six to come visit her. They returned to the Island on Ajira 316, but while Sun landed in 2007, Hurley traveled to the past. They reunited and embraced a week later.
