(' Special') Separation from Waltįighting to see his son again, Michael was abashed by his lack of legal rights, as at the time he had little income and could by no means challenge the standard of life Susan was providing for their son. However, not long after, Susan and Michael's relationship broke down, and when she was offered an impressive job prospect overseas, Susan took Walt with her, leaving Michael without any access to his child. Named after Michael's father ( Walter Dawson), Walt was born to them on August 24. He lived with his girlfriend Susan, herself an aspiring lawyer, and the happy couple were soon expecting a new arrival in their lives. Michael Dawson was a construction worker and aspiring sketch artist. Michael and Susan happily look forward to the birth of their child.

Michael would use Hurley's ability to see the deceased to try and aid his friends, and could be heard among the whispers. He was aboard the freighter when the C-4 bomb was found, and he froze its battery with liquid nitrogen to delay its detonation long enough for the Oceanic Six to escape, but the bomb eventually exploded, destroying the freighter and killing him.īecause of his actions, Michael did not 'move on' and his spirit remained on the Island. In order to redeem himself he went undercover for Ben as a saboteur on the freighter Kahana, posing as a deckhand named Kevin Johnson. After leaving the Island on a motor boat with Walt, Michael returned to Manhattan, but racked with guilt, he became estranged from Walt and turned suicidal. When he returned, he shot Ana Lucia and Libby in order to release Benjamin Linus from captivity, and caused the capture of Jack, Sawyer, and Kate, meeting his end of the deal he had made with the Others in return for Walt. After communicating with Walt on the Swan station computer, Michael ventured a rescue alone, but was captured himself. They washed up on shore, discovered the tail-section survivors of the plane, and headed back to camp. However, while they were at sea they were attacked by the Others, Walt was kidnapped and the raft was destroyed. He was in charge of the construction of the raft and attempted to leave the Island with Walt, Jin, and Sawyer to find rescue. After the crash, Michael had problems earning Walt's trust and respect, but the two eventually bonded during their time on the Island together. He had no access to his child until many years later, when Susan died and he was awarded custody. Before the crash, Michael lost custody of his son Walt to his girlfriend Susan Lloyd, and never got to know him. Michael Dawson was a former construction worker and painter and one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
