"Two for the Road" is the 20th episode of the second season of the American drama television series Lost, and the show's 45th episode overall. The episode was written by supervising producer Elizabeth Sarnoff and producer Christina M. Kim, and directed by Paul Edwards. It first aired in the United States on May 3, 2006, on the American Broadcasting Company. In the episode, flashbacks reveal more about Ana Lucia's past, while in present time, Ana Lucia tries to get a gun to kill Henry, and Michael returns to the rest of the survivors.
"Two for the Road" was generally well-received by critics who were shocked that Ana Lucia and Libby were killed off. The actresses Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros had widely publicized drunk driving charges several months before the airing of the episode, but the producers later claimed in several interviews that the deaths had been planned for over a year.[2] The episode was watched by 15.03 million American viewers, which represented a decrease compared to the previous year's rating.[3] Sarnoff and Kim were nominated for the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Award for Best Episodic Drama for writing the episode.[4]
