Someone's drink is poisoned and they drop it? Wakefield dying and everyone thinking they are safe, then someone else dying is pretty standard horror/thriller storytelling.

I'm quite surprised that Sully, Shane and dreds guy are still alive. To me, Nikki is in the top 3 of suspects, followed by Henry (of course) and, obviously Jimmy. Though if the killer is Jimmy, I hope he wins and kills everybody. Except Cal and Chloe, the awesomest characters on the show and deserving of a spin-off. And I know that Madison is a child, but, dear God, what a twat.

It's probably just misdirection from the writers and creators. Drove me crazy, just like the "Madison will die off screen" rumors because the creators said it. They're not going to leak any of this stuff. Henry and the wrong side of the tracks, and the skeet shooting scene. And "My name is Abby Mills. I came here for my BEST FRIEND'S wedding..." at the beginning of every episode. Henry might be obvious to many, but from the storytellings view, they're trying to make him the seemingly most shocking of reveals while also retaining a thematic unity. They think they're being subtle and all the clues will boomerang back at the end. Remember Wellington's utterance to Trish that he didn't trust Henry, and also preventing the wedding. Wellington was presented as the bad guy so his plotting would look diabolical. Perhaps he knew stuff about henry, or was on his way of finding out. this show is still pedestrian in the storytelling. The sheriff is not going to die in vein after telling Abby that Jimmy and she belong together, the writers would deem that cruel. No, Jimmy will just be the red herring until the very end. The shocking truth is Henry is Abby's brother. Hell, Madison will probably be cradeling that damn dog on the closing moments of the show while they're all sailing away. Cal holds a battered Chloe (who's survived her death), Shea and Trish cling to one another and the horror they've seen for this wedding, Jimmy kisses Abby's forehead and moves on the sail the boat. Abby looks out forlornly at the island and the mist. Voiceover, "My name is Abby Mills..." This post is 100% win 100% Win would be a hot lesbian 3 way with or for the gay guys With these fug trolls dead

By the time Maggie died with Nikki in the Cannery, we had ZERO legitimate suspects left who didn't have an alibi for one or more of the murders. My stomach was turning with the horrifying dread that Booth would, in fact, turn out to be alive. I was heartsick with anticipation of having to listen to the smug rantings of the folks on here who are so desperate for it to be so. Thankfully, Wakefield's involvement wipes the slate clean, and now anybody, alibi or not, can be guilty. That means Booth can remain dead! WOOHOO!!!!

Here's my take... (after going frame by frame) Shane isn't shown at all in the preview, at least for the majority of it since my DVR cut out when Jimmy gave the evil look in the church. I think he dies. I also think Nikki dies because Wakefield knocked her shotgun up as she fired. This looks like it was in the Cannery where he had the knife so not sure how she would survive after her only defense is spent with him so close to her. In order for people to suspect another killer, Wakefield has to die. Unless the producers followed through with at least the "audience will know before the survivors", there is no way anyone would suspect anyone BUT Wakefield. Just because the Sheriff had a file on Jimmy doesn't mean he thought ill of him. Maybe he wanted to check if he's good enough for Abby. To us, it's suspicious, but for the survivors it shouldn't ring any alarms. Again I have to say it, after that heart-wrenching ring exchange scene, if Cal and Chloe do not make it to a happy ending, I will scream. I don't care about Henry and Trish or Abby and Jimmy. They can FOAD for all I care. Just give me a Vegas wedding for the blondies. Because the next episode is called "Splash" and Cal and Chloe are fighting Wakefield on a bridge. I dread my previous statement won't come true because it looks like someone will "Splash" in the river below. Except that Cal was in the church scene at the very end, but no sign of Chloe (who was last seen hanging over the side of the bridge ) It's unlikely that Jimmy is the other killer. What kind of show reveals a plot twist in a preview? That kind of WTF moment is reserved for the end of an episode. That's when I think the other killer will be revealed

Yeah it's a stretch, but I really wanted that montage of Maggie running back and forth across the island offing people all while managing an inn and planning a a wedding. <3 <3 <3 eta: OMG my 2000th post on Maggiegoddess.

I think their are half brother and sister with the mom being the connecting factor. They have such a connection. With that being said.....I still do no know who the second shooter would be unless it is Henry for some reason

With that being said.....I still do no know who the second shooter would be unless it is Henry for some reason Henry would have to be at least 10.5 months older (or younger) than Abby to be her half-sibling, and that is assuming (1) Abby's mom got pregnant the day she was told by the doctor she could have sex again - typically 6 weeks; and (2) discounting a premature birth which would skew the dates a month or two.

I'm suspecting a dumbass ending. If you believe in the POWAR of WikiVandalism, someone pwnt the Harper's Island death toll page all the way to the finale (who dies/lives/is the killer). I think it sounds about right, but whatever. POTENTIAL SPOILERS: http://en.wikipedia.org/w...land&oldid=297463714 Seems to make sense. So did this hold up? Was there a skate guard girl and skate guard guy? If so, I wouldnt be surprised if the whole thing is right. Lets face it, this show hasnt been particularly successful, and there are no plans for a second season, so I cant imagine them planting fake spoilers.
