Medusa is right, as is Alvin. It's from the episode that showed Desmond in a US coffee shop, new to American without American cash, and Libby comes to his rescue and pays for his cup of coffee. They sit down to chat and he tells her about the race he wants to enter and how he doesn't have a boat. Libby, almost tearfully, tells Desmond that her late husband left him her boat and why doesn't he take it. So Desmond gets his boat from Libby, the boat that brings him to the Island.
The news that Libby was hospitalized for deep grief and depression is not news to me. That's what I gathered after seeing Libby's brief flash back in the scene above. It was never articulated directly, but I assumed Libby's deep grief is what broke her down. So I guess it was more an educated guess on my part. However, my guesses around this show, while not huge in number, seem to be pretty right on for the most part.
I've also started watching the show, for the umpteenth time, again, from the beginning. You always catch new stuff.
