When the sheriff said Abby's mother deserved to be killed, isn't that an indication right there that he's the killer? Based on their conversation
it came out of nowhere and there was no further explanation or discussion about it.

The scene were Jimmy scares away the killer, allowing Abby to escape, seemed very odd to me. Either it was just badly written, or else Jimmy knew the killer and is connected in some way. Of course, I'm leaning on it just being badly written... That's why I said that Jimmy could be Wakefield's son and be the new killer. Maybe he didn't want his dad to kill Abby at that moment. When the sheriff said Abby's mother deserved to be killed, isn't that an indication right there that he's the killer? Based on their conversation it came out of nowhere and there was no further explanation or discussion about it. Same feeling here. Saying that your wife deserved to die is incriminating. Don't know why Abby didn't say anything about that. |

When he said his wife deserved to die, I took it as there was something he wasn't telling Abby. I thought maybe Abby's mom had done something terrible
that Abby doesn't know about.

Yeah, I think that Abby is Wakefield's daughter also. Wakefield was put away for 17 years and Abby looks to be about 17 or so in the flashbacks when
Wakefield returns to the Island. We know for sure that Wakefield was behind the boat explosion that Cole Harkin survived since Harkin was an eyewitness. Were
there any eyewitnesses for the death of Abby's mom (Jimmy perhaps?)? I'm wondering if the Sheriff killed her ("Maybe she got what she
deserved!") in a fit of rage after catching her with Wakefield and then pinned the rap for the murder of Abby's mom on the man that he had just shot
to death. Somehow the Sheriff unexplicably patched things up with Jimmy after having a "passionate" hatred for him.
There is still one TV guide spoiler that hasn't happened yet: "Watch for Henry to pop up covered in blood over the body of a loved one." That means that either JD or Trish dies in one of the next 2 episodes. I'd guess that JD dies. His story arc seems to be over. I think that Katherine dies soon also. With both Thomas and Richard dead, she is expendable. Cole Harkin should die soon too. We saw what happened to Kelly after she warned Abby. |

The stupid weather kept Harper's Island off the air in Cincinnati on Saturday night, so I missed it. Anyone know where I can find a recap?

Although I don't think I'm on the Beth-is-the-killer bandwagon, her appearance this past episode was very unusual. "Thank you fat Malcolm for
comforting me." Then he gets thwacked that very episode.
I wish this show were more high profile, on a better night and getting better ratings. Nobody I know in RL is watching this. I was even at a wedding last week, and I couldn't make any funny analogies. "You better watch where the father in law stands!" |

It seemed weird to me when he told Abby he didn't tell her about her mom and Wakefield because he didn't want to sully her reputation (or something to that effect). |

My top 5 guesses for the killer are
1.) Trish - She might be a little insane in the membrane. Everyone that was taken out has been closer to the bride than the groom with the exception of Uncle Marty and now Malcom. In the book And Then There Were None, the killer was taking out people who's crimes were less offensive so the more vicious of criminals didn't have to suffer through the torment of knowing they'd go soon. Perhaps Trish is taking people out that's she's close too so they don't have to go through the torment later on. She only has Beth and Shea left on her side. 2.) Sully - I have this strange feeling that Sully is going to pull a Rebecca Gayhardt via Urban Legends and be related to Wakefield or possibly his son and is getting revenge by killing people, tormenting Abby, making the Sheriff look stupid, and etc. Kelly kept commenting on seeing Wakefield. . maybe Sully reminded her of a younger Wakefield. The early deaths were people he knew he could get away with (Uncle Marty, Lucy, and Kelly) and that nobody would question them missing. He's now building his way up. I know we saw him in the woods at the time of Lucy's death but we're not sure of the timeframe. He could have released Cal. . .walked through the woods to Lucy's pit and lit the G.oddess on fire. 3.) Shea - Refer to Trish's reasoning only she's snapped b/c of the affair that Richard is/was having and being the neglected one. Trish's profile points out she's Daddy's little girl. Trish is also getting a husband that loves and cares for her. Something Shea doesn't have. Maybe she's killing out of jealousy and its released a different side of her. 4.) Cal - Always suspect the random who the hell is that guy in horror movies. If the cast doesn't know them except the slutty girl and deaths begin to happen than all outcomes usually point to him. Maybe Cal is a copycat killer a fan of Wakefields, maybe a son, or maybe he's just a crazy SOB. Chloe is into the psychos and he did try to drown her. 5.) Henry - It was between him and Abby for the last spot. Abby seems to be to much of the main character to be her so it went to Henry. Henry might have had something to do with Wakefield this entire time which I find unlikely but its a better theory than what I have on Abby. |

The killer can not be Jimmy or the Sheriff.
Neither one were on the boat when Cousin Ben was killed, they were already on the island. |

I think the killer is Abby for several reasons. And I think she was the original murderer 7 years ago and Wakefield is a cover-up by the "father."
Abby is, of course, insane.
First, the "father" has news reports after the massacre 7 years ago that tracks murders all down the west coast. Notice who was sent off to the west coast after the murders? Abby. She is still killing. The "father" is keeping tabs on his daughter's murders. He also sent her away from the island because he knew she was the murderess and still wanted to protect her, but also needed to protect the people on the island. He framed Wakefield (shot him) and declared him the murderer to the public. He then hastily buried him. Second, in the scene where Abby is in her house and notices the doors are unlocked, etc. and calls out for her mother, she turns away at one point and then you hear the scream of her mother. This is when Abby runs up and kills her own mother. There was no reason for the mother to be screaming from inside her own house - she would have been outside the house at that point at the hands of Wakefield. Third, the scene with Jimmy in the truck and her crouching in the bushes was just odd. As if it were a retelling of the event in the mind of an insane person (Abby). Perhaps Abby herself was the one dragging the body and Jimmy saw this and is covering up for her? This one is a bit of a stretch, but not unlikely. Fourth, this would explain the close nature of Jimmy and the Dad. Before, they hated each other. Now, they both are trying to protect Abby the crazy murderess - one because she is his flesh and blood and the other because he loves her.

In these sort of Screamesque shows, everyone has super human strength. There is no doubt that she is fit and athletic. I could see her dragging her male
victim through the woods and stringing other people up to tree branches.
There has to be a reason why she was sent away by her dad. I think it's because he knows she was the murderer 7 years ago and was trying to protect her and his own townspeople. When she comes back, notice the look of horror on his face. It's not really surprise, it's like "oh shit". In the scene at the Cannery. |

But Abby actually saw that one man get murdered while she was in the bushes, she could not have killed him if she was watching him get wacked with the head
spade.
And if it was her father killing the man in the street she would have recognized him.

I still say the killer is an islander. Doesn't mean he couldn't have gone to the mainland to take care of counsin Ben and then returned.

I would agree with you if it were from someone else's perspective, but she was the focus there. It was her "remembrance." Also, with respect to the island girl that supposedly committed suicide. That did not look like a particularly brutal death. In my opinion, someone that knew the girl had to have been invited in. So that cuts the total suspect list to about 1/4. I think that Abby came back in her split personality form, the girl let her in, they talked about LA, then DEATH/MURDER.
