All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
So, these 4 people that Michael is supposed to bring back - are they the good ones? Ooooh, they've all had hallucinations - Jack and his dad, Hurley and Dave, Kate and the horse, and, um, didn't Sawyer see Kate's horse? Or something?
Sawyer had the thing with his murder victim taking a porcine form to torment him.
Presuming the show went the usual 3 minutes past the hour, I missed the last 8 minutes. After Michael got the list it was just the funeral and the boat?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think that's all, aurelia. Funeral, Hurley agreed to go with Michael, then boat.
I am not so observant and my memoey is questionable at best, so take that for what it's worth.

How did Michael convince Hurley to go?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Hurley was giving a eulogy for Libby ("She was a psychologist... or maybe a psychiatrist... uhhh.... She helped people..."). He was, understandably, getting very emotional and at a loss for words. At the end of it, he turned to Michael and said, "I'm going with you."

Ah... Vengance Hurley. That won't end well.
Thanks, Jon.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
The first time Jack led his merry band through the jungle in the effort to stop Michael's mission of vengeance/reclaiming of WALT!!!, the Others could have captured Jack, Sawyer, and Kate right then and there. What's happened in the intervening 13 days that has made them more valuable? Or if they didn't want to take them in front of Locke and whoever else was along on that trek (I can't remember at the moment), they could at least have held onto Kate -- they had her captive, and Jack and the rest wouldn't have known about it until they returned to the beach. Why are they so interesting to the Others now?
(Sorry for the random use of pronouns -- too many "they"s -- in the above paragraph. But I think that editing it for clarity would lengthen it tremendously.)

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Maybe the Others have decided to take out the leaders of the 815's. Jack, Kate and Sawyer. And maybe Hurley, just because he has money. The "experiment" may need funding.
It's a stretch, but I can't think of any other reason. I don't think they - the Others - consider J, K and S "good".

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
If Locke was called "one of the good ones" by Henry Gale...I wonder if Kate, Sawyer, Jack, and Hurley are "the bad ones."

I think most of the Others are subjects in the experiment, too. It's just about what they can be convinced of and how far they'll go to support what they believe.
