* Sayid's relationship with Elsa. Though he initially gets together with her to get close to her employer, who is one of his targets, he grows to genuinely care for her, which gets him shot when he lets his guard down and it turns she was also an assassin and was using him too. He's forced to kill her in self-defense, and Ben shows him NoSympathy, berating him for thinking with his heart instead of his gun.

** Libby's death is even sadder. [[KillTheCutie One of the sweetest, kindest]] characters on the show, killed in the midst of her plans to [[TooHappyToLive have a nice picnic date with Hurley]]. Making this even worse is how easily it could have been avoided. Michael never intended to kill her, he just shot her by mistake on pure instinct, and [[ForWantOfANail if Hurley hadn't forgotten the blankets]], she would never have been there in the first place.

* In one flashback, Locke is shown calling Helen, who was implied to be his girlfriend.

* Michael's grief over Walt's kidnapping is absolutely ''heartbreaking''. Even when he briefly drowns to the point that Sawyer has to resuscitate him with CPR, the first thing he does when he wakes up is get right back to screaming Walt's name. When Sawyer tries to make him save his energy, Michael responds that the only possible consolation he has is that Walt ''might'' be able to hear him and know that Michael's coming. It's every parent's worst nightmare shown in agonizing detail.
--> '''Michael''': They took my son!\\
'''Sawyer''': Yeah, I saw that, onto a boat, which means he's not in shouting distance.\\
'''Michael''': You don't know that!\\
'''Sawyer''': Well I got a pretty good sense! And even if he was there's nothing you can do!\\
'''Michael''': Look, if he can hear me, he knows that I'm alive, that I'm coming for him, that I'm going to get him ''back''! Right now all I got is that maybe my son can hear me, ''does that make any sense to you''?!
