That was a nice twist indeed to have Henry be the Wakefield kid. I could buy him as the killer for some of them and it turns out he and daddy were indeed switching off on the killing duties. Jimmy was the red herring, of course, and kudos to the actor portraying him, giving off that dark almost sinister aura that makes you think more than once that he's the kid.

And it's all Henry's plot to bring his half sister Abby back to the island, so they can be together, as she wished for when they were kids and only got to spend the summer together. Huh, I'm not remembering how old Henry was when his parents died, but I guess too young for him to have some part in it? His adopted parents, that is. Sad to see Danny buy it, and poor, poor Trish, learning the man she loved so much was responsible for killing her father and so many others, before he killed her too. And Sully, too.

Am wondering if it was Henry's plan all along, to have Wakefield take the fall for all the killings, and then escape with Abby. The plan was for them all to die, according to Wakefield, and, boy, did he look shocked when sonny chose his half sister over daddy. Some of the people Henry killed, were what he would see as justified. The uncle and brother that weren't really his family. Trish's ex, Hunter. Trish's daddy, who was subtly trying to sabotage the wedding. He gets to hit at the people he wants and then he can blame their deaths on the island's infamous serial killer and move on...with Abby. Though not in an incestuous way lol.

Kudos to the show for mixing slasher movie with murder mystery, though the result was more slasher than mystery. What would have been a REALLY good twist? For Trish to have been the killer. Or, hell, Abby, either one of them doing a My Bloody Valentine type of psychosis. When Abby woke up alone in the house, I also had the thought: what if it had all been a dream? Or even a vision of a future to come?

Steve called Henry from after the first episode. (If you look back in your posts you'll see I commented.) And I first thought it was Abby with MPD, but it didn't take long for that to be so not true. And after every episode Steve was all like, "no... no, it's still him. It can't BE anyone else. He's the only one!" So, no real surprise on his end. Other than well, gee, maybe Henry should have just asked Abby out on a DATE or something rather than go all psycho.
