Spoiler [+] Okay the previews start with Madison saying "He's here!" and Wakefield busting into the Cannery and Trish points her gun at him. Then it has I guess a bunch of flashing scenes really fast and it shows Abby and Henry by the sheriff's truck and Abby saying "I'm going to kill Wakefield" After that we see Cal Abby and Henry on a bridge and Cal hits Wakefield with his gun and someone falls off the bridge and grabs on to the side. Then the preview narrator says "But what if there's another killer..." and it goes to Madison saying "The Sheriff has a lot of stuff on another person we know." It goes to a scene with a picture of Jimmy. Then they are in the chapel I believe and Abby runs to Jimmy and hugs him. Trish says "Abby!" and it shows Abby hugging Jimmy and Jimmy with a killer smile on his face staring at Trish. Cal survives.

Unless Julia is the killer, which is unlikely. But it would be a giant screw you to the audience. "Ha! It's not even someone on the bingo card!" The main reason I doubt Nikki, though she certainly has the physical strength to pull of the killings is that she is a character, as is "Dangerous Wreck", on Harper's Globe. Would she really be social networking as herself as as the killer persona? Also, was the discovery of Kelly sequence really a fake? The biggest argument in her favor is that she wasn't gunned down outside the Cannery. However, timing wise, it looks like Wakefield (or his assistant) was headed towards to the Candlewick. And Maggie walked right into his clutches. I too would have laughed if she had been gunned down two seconds after leaving the Cannery. I guess humor wasn't what they were going for. I had noticed and mentioned, "Gee, she goes off by herself a lot and really doesn't seem to be concerned about her personal safety." It could have been just bad writing, but as it turns out, she as just reckless all along. I loved how she was just hanging there all day into the night. In any event, because Wakefield or his assistant wasn't shooting at that point, Nikki was probably just really lucky. There is also the possibility that Wakefield's kid is not the killer. Jimmy as Wakefield's kid makes sense as Wakefield took the trade with the Sheriff. But Henry or someone else could be using the Wakefield legend as a cover for the killings, perhaps not even aware that the real Wakefield is alive. What an awesome show.

Did he say that 1/3 won't even know who the killer is, or that 1/3 won't have guessed who the killer is? Or both? People seem to bring this statistic up, but I don't even remember reading the actual interview.

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 is CBS, not Arthur Conan Doyle Then Hunter's faceless body jumps out of the water and capsises the boat. Nah, probably not. ------------------ Continuity error: In one scene the dead state troopers had one floating on his back and the other floating on her stomach. Before the boats exploded, Shane saw them both floating on their backs. Last Edited By: Coachocd 06/20/09 10:16 PM. Edited 1 times.

Meanwhile everyone becomes emotional when somebody's body is found in a bath tub and somebody turns up missing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Harper%27s_Island_episodes

Well, "splash" does sound like it could take place in a bathtub, though I cannot imagine anyone would take time out of this to take a bath.

Maybe something happens (gets bloody) and somebody needs a bath. If its Madison, Shea leaves the bathroom or sits outside the door and somehow the killer gets in and drowns the little brat. ETA: Although its wikipedia and bath tub will turn out to be pool/ocean.

(but then who the hell killed maggie???) can't help but feel, though, that whatever would be the biggest let-down will end up being the case. sure hope i'm wrong.

Let's see her knitting a new sweater or Jimmy or swinging from the rafters of her cottage. Whatever. No more psychic? The psychic always dies in these things. There was a great episode of the X-Files where a psychic was chasing a murderous psychopath who was also psychic.
