Plot

Hurley's dream

While eating profuse amounts of food in the bunker's pantry, Hurley is confronted by Jin, who seems to be speaking perfect English, and a man in a chicken suit. When questioned about his newfound mastery of the language, Jin informs him that Hurley is speaking Korean, to which Hurley responds, "I am?" in Korean, with English subtitles. Hurley asks Jin about the man in the chicken suit and Jin warns Hurley that everything will change, a response Hurley seems not to understand. The man in the chicken suit starts blinking in time to the beeps of the station's alarm. Jin wishes Hurley a "cluckety cluck-cluck day" and then the man in the chicken suit shouts "Hurley!" with Kate's voice, signifying the transition as Hurley awakens from a dream.

Hurley's flashback

The flashbacks reveal the events immediately following Hurley's discovery of his winning lottery numbers. Opting to keep his ticket to instant wealth a secret, he is lectured by the manager of Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack for eating food without paying for it. Hurley quits, and his friend Johnny does likewise. The pair visit a record store, where they sing part of the lyrics to the Drive Shaft's song, "You All, Everybody", as they flip past the CD in the one hit wonders section. Hurley asks Starla, an attractive salesgirl, for a date to a The Hold Steady show at the Troubadour nightclub, which to both his and Johnny's surprise, she accepts. Later, the two friends steal a vanload of garden gnomes and use them to spell out "Cluck You" on the lawn of their former employer.

Hurley asks his friend to promise that they will never change, and Johnny does so; immediately after, his friend notices a news crew at a local gas station and pulls in to see what's happened. The reporters have arrived because they know the winning lottery ticket was bought at that location; the clerk recognizes Hurley and points him out. Johnny is stunned, and his expression clearly reveals that, despite his promise, everything has changed.

Hurley rations the food

Hurley becomes less and less certain of his ability to ration the food in a manner that keeps everyone happy. Hurley attempts to quit, but Locke refuses to permit this. Hurley then recovers the unused sticks of dynamite and prepares to blow up the food. When Rose asks him what he's doing, he explains that the food, newfound wealth to the survivors, will change everything and everyone will come to hate him, just like things changed when, in a flashback, everyone knew he won the lottery.

Rose talks him down from this rash act. Later, Hurley informs Jack of his decision to give the food all away. Jack accepts this.

Trivia

• On the milk carton Hurley is drinking during his dream sequence, there is a photo of Walt as a missing person.
• Hurley's abusive manager at Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack is Randy who later becomes John Locke's boss at the box company as shown in Walkabout. In an earlier episode, Hurley's financial assistant tells Hurley that he has become the majority stockholder of that same box factory, effectively becoming his own ex-boss' boss.
