"Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" is the tenth episode of the third season of the American drama television series Lost, and the show's 59th episode overall. The episode was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and directed by Eric Laneuville. The character of Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) is featured in the episode's flashbacks, as he reminisces over his father (guest star Cheech Marin) abandoning his family for seventeen years. On the island, Hurley works with Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) and James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) to repair an old Volkswagen camper van while Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) ponders what to do about the still-captured Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox).
In interviews, Garcia, Dae Kim, and Holloway commented that they had a lot of fun shooting their scenes, as they had not worked together for a while. The episode marked the first appearance of recurring guest actor Cheech Marin. It first aired on February 28, 2007, in the United States on ABC, with an estimated 12.78 million viewers. The episode received mixed reviews, with many praising its humor but still noting that little was learned concerning the show's overall mythology.
Young Hurley (Caden Waidyatilleka) joins his father, David Reyes (Cheech Marin), over an old Camaro that they want to repair. It won't start however, and David assures him good things happen when you believe they will, and that in this world you have to "make your own luck." While leaving for Las Vegas, David gives Hurley a chocolate bar and promises to return soon.
