Biography[edit]

Prior to Oceanic Flight 815[edit]

Libby was a patient at the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. Her stay coincided, at least in part, with Hurley's. No reason is given for her institutionalization. She claimed to have attended medical school for one year before deciding to become a clinical psychologist.

Libby gave Desmond Hume Elizabeth, the boat he uses for his race around the world. Elizabeth hailed from Newport Beach and was a gift given to Libby by her recently deceased husband David.

On the Island[edit]

Libby was a passenger in the tail section of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815. She is one of the five tail section survivors introduced in "Adrift". After the five survivors capture Jin, Sawyer and Michael, Libby is shown to be subordinate to Ana Lucia. Only after Shannon is shot by Ana Lucia does Libby assert herself, refusing to tie up Sayid and insisting that Ana Lucia let their captives go.

Following the integration of the tail section survivors into the main camp, Libby helps Claire unblock the memories of what happened while she was held captive by The Others. She also tries to help Hurley with his food addiction, and talks him out of jumping off a cliff.

In "Two For The Road," Libby accepts Hurley's offer to a picnic for two. They walk to a nearby beach, but Hurley has forgotten to bring a blanket, so Libby heads to the hatch to get one. She walks in immediately after Michael has shot Ana Lucia, and when Libby calls Michael's name he turns in panicked surprise and shoots her twice in the abdomen.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Sawyer discovers that Libby has survived, but is in critical condition. After triaging her injury, Jack controls Libby's pain by administering heroin taken from one of the Virgin Mary statues. Hurley, upon hearing what has happened, runs to Libby's side.

After Hurley reaches Libby, she coughs out Michael's name to Jack, who does not realize that Libby is naming her assailant, and then dies. She and Ana Lucia are buried alongside one another in "Three Minutes."
