Oh My God! This show is getting more intense as the weeks go by. I am just going to say to all of you that are not watching- START! Or get the DVD when it comes out, I will! It is that good! Anyways, here is what is happening: Everyone is packing to leave and get the hell off this God forsaken island of doom, but creepy Madison is missing and can’t be found. Henry asks for help to look for her and would you believe that Cal is the one who steps up to the plate first? Way to go English!

JD is in jail and Mills is questioning him why he did this. JD tells him that Harkin will tell him he didn’t do it and tells him where he can find Harkin (the scar faced guy). While Mills is gone, JD is in a cell next to Shane (remember he tried to kill JD). The lights go out! The deputy gets shot in front of the two of them. Lights come back on and JD grabs the keys off of Deputy Dead and takes off! Leaving Shane there. Jeez, a death in the first 10 minutes….LOVE IT!

Trish and Shea realize Richard is gone too. Shea starts to think that maybe he took Madison. Oh, little do they know.

Meanwhile Mills goes looking for Harkins place. While walking through the woods, he spots Lucy’s dog Gigi. Let me just say that this dog is looking worse and worse each week. While walking, a trap is sprung and a spike is driven into his thigh. OUCH!

Cal & Chloe find a skull in the incinerator while in the basement. They realize it is not Madison, it is an adult. Hul…lo this is Malcolm!

Henry, Trish and Catherine are out among the forest when Abby tells Henry she has a picture of him, JD and his parents that she wants to give him. As they walk Henry finds a rope in the water and follows it. We now find Richard pinned to some huge round thingy in the water with the harpoon through his chest about 20 ft above ground. As they are as shocked as we are, Abby gets a call. It is Madison saying that if anyone leaves the island, she(Madison) will die.

So now everyone realizes all the phone lines are dead, even cell! Henry gathers everyone to decide what to do. Finally, everyone is figuring out who is missing and /or dead. Some feel it is a Wellington problem. All of a sudden the lights go out. They head for the gun cabinet and arm themselves. Some odd sounds are made when we see Jimmy is in the house! He tells everyone that the boat left ½ hour ago. Sully is bound and determined to get the hell off the island. WUSS! Actually, I would be pushing him out of my way.

Back in the woods: Mills is able to pull out the spike. Let me just say, I cringed the whole time. Man it looked painful! Then we see someone walk up to him. Who? Mills wakes up in Harkins place. Harkin hand him a journal and tells him Abby is involved with what is going on. The journal is Harkins, from when he was in prison.

Back at the Inn: Henry and Danny use a truck to jump start the generator. It works and they have lights again. But when Henry goes back inside, not everyone is there. So he tells Danny to stay with Shea, Trish and Catherine. Henry takes off looking for the others.

Harkins cabin: Harkin says that JD has been helping him track the killer. Harkin leaves to get help for Mills and also grabs the journal and puts it in a shoulder bag. As he leaves he hears something and is shot with an arrow. He drops the lantern (which causes a fire) and yells for Mills. This poor guy just can’t get away from the fires of hell, can he? Mills just misses getting hit with an arrow and crawls on the floor. Harkin is hit again with another arrow and is now a goner! Abby and Jimmy show up and help Mills out of the cabin, but not before Mills tells Abby to get the bag off of Harkin. They head for the marina.

At the marina Sully, Beth, Cal & Chloe find a boat, but Cal can’t leave because he is worried about Madison. Ok, so let me just say, Cal is looking like he’s got bigger you know what’s than any of these other stud guys. Which now makes me wonder if he is the killer…hmmm? They see JD run by some of the boats. Sully sees the truck with Abby, Jimmy and Mills and tells them JD is here. Jimmy and Abby leave Mills in the truck and look for JD. Now you know , you should never leave a guy alone with a killer on the loose. Abby is walking down a dock and hears these gurgling noises and finds JD dying. He is bleeding and looking pretty much like death itself when he tells her that this whole killing thing is all about her. Then we see someone behind Abby. As she turns around, we see bloody hands and then the camera pans upward and we see it is Henry all bloody and he looks at her crying and looking all pitiful and stuff. HOLY CRAP! NOT HENRY!

Well , I can’t stand waiting another 7 days to find out what the heck is going to happen. I do think that since they left Mills in the truck, we are going to find him dead next week. So we lost Deputy Dead, Scar-face Harkin and JD this week. I love when we lose more than 1 a week!

Here is our updated death toll and the character bio’s of who is left are here.
