(John Terry

(Cynthia Watros
) advises Ana Lucia not to try to get revenge on Henry, she is determined and asks James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway

(Matthew Fox
) and Kate Austen
(Evangeline Lilly

Michael asks Ana Lucia what is going on and she tells him that although she was about to kill Henry, she was not able to pull the trigger. Michael offers to do it, but after she hands him the gun, he turns around and shoots her. Libby walks in with the blankets and a startled Michael shoots her, too. He then walks into the armory where Henry is being held and shoots himself in the shoulder, letting Henry go.

The deaths of Ana Lucia and Libby caused speculation that they were killed off due to the DUI
s that actresses Michelle Rodriguez
and Cynthia Watros
received within fifteen minutes of each other on December 1, 2005. Watros pleaded guilty, was fined $370, and had her license suspended for 90 days. Rodriguez initially pleaded innocent, but in April pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to five days in Oahu correctional facility, but ended up serving only 65 hours due to jail overcrowding. In February 2006, US Weekly
claimed that an insider told them that the Lost producers were frustrated with Rodriguez's behavior and were going to kill her character off. Soon after, "Two for the Road" aired, writers Damon Lindelof
and Carlton Cuse
told TV Guide
that when talking to Rodriguez about the part of Ana Lucia, she said that she would be interested, but only for a year. After sitting down with her, the two were very impressed with her energy, and decided to adjust their plan to make her character only last one season. Since audiences had a negative reaction to Ana-Lucia, the producers thought her death would not generate enough sympathy from fans, so they decided that Libby, who was well liked, should also be killed for emotional impact. Lindelof recalled that after they found out that both Rodriguez and Watros got the DUIs, he was concerned that it would look like killing Ana and Libby was the producers attempt to say "Don't drive drunk!", and even considered re-writing the script so it wouldn't seem that way, but the producers decided just to keep it like it was. Lindelof also denied rumors that Rodriguez was killed off because she was hard to deal with, saying that Michelle was "totally professional and got along well with all the other actors." According to Lindelof and Cuse, Watros was very sad about Libby being killed off, and the producers felt bad for her, so they helped her get in a pilot for a show on CBS
called My Ex-Life, although it was not picked up by the network.

Sample also wrote that although he suspected that Ana-Lucia and Libby were going to die, he thought what "was amazing was who shot them". Mac Slocum of Filmfodder.com wrote that the episode contained the "Biggest ... twist ... ever." Slocum went on to say that if you had not seen the episode, "whoooeee are you in for a treat", and called the two murders "a doozy". Slocum call Ana Lucia "a drama queen". He also felt that Libby's death was "one of the most tragic things we've seen", and said that it was "equivalent to a nuclear weapon wiping out all the characters in the M*A*S*H finale.
