fist instance of cognition (possible spoilers)

I think the episode 'The Brig" marks the first time in which the coincidental (or not) connections prior to the crash between two characters became known to those two characters. The characters being Locke and Sawyer. Can any one else think of any instance in which characters had some off island connection and then found out about it?

when Sawyer told Jack at the end of the first season that hed met his dad in a bar in sydney

Jack and Ana Lucia.

Hurley recognized Libby but she denied it.

[Angel07]

Clair met Jack's (her) father but of course she doesn't know yet that he was Jack's father too.

Didn't Jack figure out that he and Desmond met running the stairs at the football stadium?

And does it count when Desmond saw Charlie in his flashback after he blew up the hatch?

Locke works at the box factory owned by Hurley.

Shannon's dad passed away in the hospital where Jack works.

Anna Lucia drove Jack's dad to the bar where he met Sawyer.

[Redman]

Yeah, we know that. But none of the characters on the show do...

Ah, scuzi! I misunderstood. )
