In addition, Charlie also develops close friendships with Hugo "Hurley" Reyes, and Desmond Hume.

In the season three finale "Through the Looking Glass", Charlie drowns at the hands of Mikhail Bakunin, sacrificing himself in an effort to save the other survivors.

Charlie is prominent in the series finale, "The End".
