Misuse. Pet The Dog is an isolated act of kindness from a character who's otherwise villainous, anti-heroic, or at least a jerk, whereas Hurley is a Nice Guy.

On the freighter, Keamy confronts Michael over giving his name to Ben, but is prevented from killing him by his gun jamming and Captain Gault saying they need him to fix the engine. Keamy finds a secondary protocol from Widmore, indicating Ben's next move. Gault gives Sayid the freighter's Zodiac raft, in order to ferry people from the Island to the freighter. Keamy has a strange device attached to his arm. At Michael's urging, Lapidus refuses to bring Keamy back to the Island, so he kills Gault and Ray, dumping the latter's body in the ocean, and threatens to kill other if Lapidus does not bring him to the Island, which he reluctantly agrees to do. Lapidus drops a satellite phone out of the helicopter, to warn the survivors on the beach of Keamy's location, but they misunderstand, thinking he intends for them to follow them.

'''Season 4, Episode 11'''
!Cabin Fever
In flashbacks, a six-months pregnant Emily Locke is hit by a car while on her way to meet Anthony Cooper. She prematurely gives birth to her son, John. She decides to give him up for adoption. Locke is visited twice by Richard Alpert, first as a baby, then as a child. Richard gives Locke a test to see if he is "special", but is disappointed by the results. A teenage Locke refuses to join a science camp run by Mittelos Bioscience. After Locke's paralysis, Matthew Abaddon, working as an orderly at his hospital, suggests that he go on a walkabout.

On the freighter, Keamy confronts Michael over giving his name to Ben, but is prevented from killing him by his gun jamming and Captain Gault saying they need him to fix the engine. Gault gives Sayid the freighter's Zodiac raft, in order to ferry people from the Island to the freighter. Keamy has a strange device attached to his arm. At Michael's urging, Lapidus refuses to bring Keamy back to the Island, so he kills Gault and Ray, dumping the latter's body in the ocean, and threatens to kill other if Lapidus does not bring him to the Island, which he reluctantly agrees to do.

In the jungle, Locke sees a vision of Horace Goodspeed in a dream, telling him to find him in order to find Jacob. He finds Horace's body in the mass DHARMA grave, and retrieves a map to the cabin from his pocket. Locke finds Christian and Claire inside the cabin, with Christian claiming to speak on Jacob's behalf. Locke tells Ben and Hurley that Jacob wants them to move the Island.
