Harper’s Island: Crawling Through Tunnels
As usual, first a recap, then some thoughts. Not much to recap this time, as a lot of the show was people crawling through tunnels 🙂
The show picked up with everyone knowing JD was dead and looking for his killer. Henry, as predicted, found him first and tried to save him . . . that’s why he was covered in blood. Shane joined up with the others at Wellington Manor, where Abby and Jeremy brought the Sheriff. Cal, who is apparently a nueroanatamist hooked the Sheriff up to an IV drip (which I guess they got from a hospital or something) and stabilized him. Abby meanwhile looked through the book her dad told her to get. She found out her mom was pregnant with Wakefield’s child at some point and felt it could be her. Shocking!
Soon everyone realized Beth had gone missing. They began looking around, Sully and Danny found a trail of blood leading them to some old prohibition tunnels under the manor . Several of them went into the tunnels, and Abby got cut off when a grate fell down on her.
Meanwhile Shea and Trish ended up stealing Shane’s truck to try and go find the psychic from the bachelorette party, thinking she might know where Madison was.
Back in the tunnels, Abby found a room where Madison was. They escaped and eventually climbed up a sewer drain, to be rescued by Trish and Shea who were on there way back to the manor.
Cal and his girlfriend meanwhile had made love, as she was turned on watching him save the sheriff. Later though the sheriff was gone! Everyone ran out to see Madison. Madison asked Abby if she liked the game, the man who took her said she would. Abby asked who took her? Madison said “the sheriff!” Meanwhile Shane was still inside with Mrs. Wellington, who was asleep in a chair. He went to wake her to tell her Madison was here. Then he saw blood pouring out, someone had stabbed her in the back with garden shears.
My Thoughts
Clearly they are making it look like the Sheriff is now the prime suspect, but he couldn’t have killed his old deputy last week. Did he take Madison though? Probably, only to keep everyone on the island so that he could lure the killer out.
Who is the killer? I still think Booth is a possibility because he was the only one not killed by the killer, and nobody knows where his body is.
I’m also wondering if there isn’t two killers at work here. At this point that might be the only way to explain it, as almost everyone can be accounted for when a murder happened.
I agree on the sheriff just being another fake out, it was be to clean and there’s to many episodes left for the killer to come out like that.
-_- I really wouldn’t mind if that Shane dude died though

I was saying the same thing last night. I hope Shane dies soon lol

He really just is a character that I can’t find anything to like about. I like Sully, and he’s had his bad moments but he’s clearly running scared, Shane…is just a tool.

I agree, not the sheriff. They didn’t take the sheriff back to the Manor, they took him to the clinic in town. That’s why it was fully stocked with medical supplies.
I’m wondering about the innkeeper and the gardener. You don’t see *them* all the time.
I’m worried about Jimmy. I really like him, but it looks like he may get killed off next episode. :0(

Yeah that preview didn’t look good for him at all

I’m wondering if maybe Abby has a twin sister and that’s who the killer is– since JD said it was “Abby” that killed him. I thought he just meant like “I’m dead because you are connected to this, Abby,” but in the beginning of the episode, Henry said something like, “JD knew you were his friend — he knew that you didn’t kill him.” So, perhaps JD really literally thought it was Abby, but it was her twin sister.

Hey Dustin! I was with you on thinking that there were two killers, but I just went to L.A. and saw a billboard for Harper’s Island and it said: 13 Weeks, 25 Suspects, 1 Killer… so now i think there should only be one killer, unless they are totally trying to throw us off! =) below is the link to show the picture that I saw (if the link works – sorry I’m not great with that stuff!)
