"Every Man for Himself" is the fourth episode of the third season of Lost, making it the 53rd episode of the series. It aired on October 25, 2006, on ABC, and was written by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and directed by Stephen Williams. The character of Sawyer ( Josh Holloway) is featured in the episode's flashbacks; on the island, his rebellious attitude causes Ben Linus ( Michael Emerson) and the Others to conjure a plan to keep him in check.

When the episode first aired, it was watched by 17.087 million American viewers. Reviews were positive, praising the writing and the cliffhanger ending.
