So this weekend’s “Harper’s Island” opened up the predictable horror story “mystery” with Abby. First the mini-cap, then some thoughts.

The Sheriff decided to search the hotel and all the wedding guests rooms. This led Malcolm to panic as he didn’t want his money found. He through it out the window, later to retrieve it and be caught by his friends. He had to fess up and they were furious. They said they had to go find Booth, to give him a proper burial; and later they were going to the sheriff with all this. Malcolm ended up burning the money in the furnace, only to be attacked by the killer. So long Malcolm!

The Sheriff found Uncle Marty’s cellphone in JD’s room, which made him think he was the killer. He set out to find him, with Henry in tow.

Abby took Trish to say goodbye to her father, thinking it would help things. Trish felt she had to cancel the wedding, for good, as every time she’d look at Henry she’d think of her dead father. By the end of the show though it seemed Abby made her think differently about doing that.

Abby began having memories of the day her mom died. She was supposed to go camping with Jimmy, they were gunna “do it.” However they witnessed an explosion on the docks. Wakefield returned that day and he started out trying to kill one of the deputies, that is the burned guy in the woods.

Abby went home, her mom was gone. Her dad called and told her to stay inside and lock all the windows and doors. She heard a scream and went outside, to find her mom and others dead. Then she was almost killed by Wakefield, but Jimmy drove up and distracted him so she could run.

The trip down memory lane was spurned by the appearance of the deputy (aka the burned guy) to give her a warning. He said her dad was after the wrong guy, JD wasn’t the killer, and her dad wasn’t being honest about Wakefield. She later confronted him, he admitted the truth. Wakefield came for her mother. Before her mother came to the island, she dates Wakefield in Seattle. Wakefield was nuts it seemed, she ran away to the island and they met. He said Wakefield came once for her, he had his guys beat him up then pulled strings to get him charged with attempted murder of police officers. He went to jail for a long time, when he got out is when he returned to the island, for revenge.

The Sheriff and Henry caught JD, but he claimed they’d look stupid when he was locked up and more murders happened. At the end of the show Trish’s niece Madison got a note from someone. She thought it was her dad. She went somewhere, I guess the note told her to, and she was kidnapped!

My Thoughts
First up, I’m not crying over Malcolm’s death. He had it coming for a long time.

Where has Cal been? His disappearance is suspicious!

They’ve clearly set up the predictable “My father is a psychopathic killer” story with Abby. I don’t think her dad told her everything, I think her mom came to the island pregnant. Why else would he have sent Abby away after everything that happened? Also if he had really shot and killed Wakefield as he says, what was there to send her away for? I don’t think the person in Wakefield’s grave is Wakefield at all.
