It's time to check in with the yellow team, standing in a graveyard. The unscheduled detour was planned by Chloe who wanted to see where Wakefield was buried. So Sully, Danny and Booth are kinda standing around, waiting. Chloe pops out from under some trees at the edge of the cemetery and with a cheery, "I found it!" she motions them over. Sully follows and with a few random snarky remarks about "whaling thingies" (head spades, m'dear?), the other two stay behind. Hidden in the underbrush is a simple grave marker, with the obligatory cultish mishmash of flowers and melted candles around it. According to the guy at the museum, Chloe tells us, they wouldn't bury him in consecrated ground. Chloe's acting kinda hypnotic, but flinches back to reality when Sully leans over and tries to kiss her. She pats him on the tummy, "You're sweet," and walks off. My respect for her grows just a smidge.
The hunt now completely abandoned, Lucy's walking toward her room talking to her absent boyfriend. She enters her room and there's Trish looking guilty and forlorn. Lucy gets off the phone and walks over. "Hunter's here." Trish tells her. For a moment, Lucy thinks that Trish might have invited him, but the thought's quickly dismissed. After all, isn't that just like him? Never there and then showing up at the worst time? Lucy goes onto say that she's dated her share of creeps, and Hunter? Is a creep. That's why she has her boy and Trish went back to Henry. Wait. Back to Henry? Hmmm, the plot thickens. At any rate, Lucy agrees with Shea, that Trish should talk to her father and Trish nods.
We leave the pair to go back to Abby, walking along a nicely manicured path so Kelly can sneak up behind her. Which she does, properly startling the hell out of our heroine. All she wanted to do was thank Abby for talking to her, she'd always wanted to talk to her. And as creepy as that sounds, it makes a kind of sense, Abby being the only other kid of a victim (so far as we know). And while creeped out, Abby gets that, telling Kelly that she doesn't have to stay on the island if it's that uncomfortable for her. Kelly thinks that's an awesome idea, she's always wanted to go to LA, could she stay with Abby? But before Abby can do more than awkwardly stammer Kelly withdraws the request and slinks off, metaphoric tail between her legs. Poor puppy. Luckily JD's there and Abby watches the two of them for a moment before we cut to...
...the hotel, where Abby's about to enter her room and Henry busts her for bailing on the scavenger hunt. She tries to bluff for awhile, but he doesn't buy it so she gives. Her entire team bailed, and then Shane showed up... Henry's alpha senses kick in and he asks if Shane did something. Abby hems and haws about Shane being Shane and that's it for the scene.
Until we see Henry walking down the docks to Jimmy's boat, that is. And it is Jimmy's boat, he's not so much of a loser that he's still working someone else's. Henry calls out a welcome and the two begin to chat. Henry wants to make sure everything's OK between them, after JD's fight with Shane and all. Like Abby, Jimmy chalks it up to Shane being Shane, but still Henry wants to invite Jimmy and Shane to the bonfire in the name of peace. Jimmy gives Henry a "maybe" and so Henry invokes the sacred name of Abby. As in, Abby will be there and since we all know you're still puppy-dog in love with her, you should come, too. Jimmy's interested, but he still only gives a maybe to Henry's smirk.
Cal's still wandering in the woods, looking at the map like it was written in Greek, so it's no surprise when he goes up in another trap. "Somebody help me!" He cries as we cut away...
...to Henry entering his and Trish's room and seeing what appears to be a bloody smear on the floor. "Trish?" He calls out. We should be so lucky. But no, as he follows the blood into the bathroom we see it belongs to a very bloody deer head that's been placed in the tub. And if that's supposed to be a homage to the Godfather, they're doing it WRONG. But is is another dead animal shot. Ew. Also, kudos to the props department.
Hunter and Wellington are a having a discussion about their deal. Wellington emphasizes that the wedding is in four days, and Trish walks in. She totally reads the scene right and walks back out. Smart money says Daddy talks his way out of this. Takers?
It's getting late and Cal is still upside down. There's some noise in the brush that's quickly revealed to be Sully who wandered away after Chloe shot him down. Cal? Is happy to see Sully. He shouldn't be as Sully decides to leave him there, taking the map. Cal yells, it's about all he can do.
Wellington talks his way out of it. Like you're even surprised. He even gets a hug for "sending Hunter away".
Abby knocks on Henry's door and enters to the sight of him in a blood-splattered white t-shirt. Obviously, the first words out of her mouth are, "Are you OK?" Henry tries to lie for about thirty seconds before telling her everything, after which Abby helpfully tells him that Shane and Jimmy were hunting that very morning. Henry? Is not amused and is ready to track Jimmy and Shane down right that instant. Abby manages to stop him and convinces him to let her talk to Jimmy first.
Which she's doing in the very next scene. She understands that JD and Shane have it in for each other, but that's no reason to drag poor Henry into it. Jimmy agrees, but tells her again about the deer head. He knows that doesn't excuse it, though, and he agrees to talk to Shane. Because he's also the love-sick puppy we know him to be he starts to talk about the island, about how it's gotten better - almost like it used to be - all it's missing is Abby. Not to sound pathetic (too late) he goes on to say that it's not just him. Kelly, Nikki, her father, all of them were glad to hear she was coming back. "I know you're here for Henry, but if you just give the rest of us another chance..." Abby looks chagrined and we cut to a (large) cabin in the woods.
It belongs, presumably, to Kelly, who opens the door. Having been properly shamed by Jimmy, Abby's come to tell Kelly that she can stay with her in LA if she wants. Kelly is very excited, giving Abby a hug and everything. It's very cute, except for JD hanging around in the background, shirtless. Abby notes his presence, it will probably be important later. Abby leaves and Kelly goes dancing back into the house and pushes JD into a chair for some victory sex involving raking her nails down his chest hard enough to leave marks.
After dark, Nikki's walking up to Kelly's front door to see why she's late for the bonfire. The camera pans over to reveal Kelly, hanging dead from a rafter.
I'd say that's a good excuse, wouldn't you?
Have you ever in your life heard of a "head spade" before seeing this episode? Me, neither. It's a great weapon and completely appropriate to the setting but WOW is that obscure.
I'm definitely playing your drinking game for next episode because if people don't start realizing that there are a bunch of missing wedding guests and locals, they are all too stupid to live.
I started to like Cam and Chloe better this episode, especially at the end at the bonfire when she was missing her Englishman.
Looking forward to your next recap!
Heh, this is one of those shows that I'll have been glad to watch just because I'm learning odd and obscure things like what a head spade is and the definition of "bifurcation".
Do play the drinking game, the show is soooo much funnier that way.
I still kinda hate Cal and Chloe after this ep, its the next one where I start to like them a bit.

Looking forward to the next word of the week.

you guys are learning ICU lingo! Bifurcation, de-fenestration…
my favourite? Hemicorporectomy- what happened to Uncle Marty ;)
Recycling. *snerk*
Bobby is not allowed to die. Ever. Except when he sacrificies his life to save The Boys. Which may be happening soon :)
(I don't know, I am completely unspoiled)
I am looking forward to learning more about CreepyAssGirl.
Great recap, raven!
On Thursday- Thwack. I am envisioning a machete. Or a wrecking ball.
I cannot even tell you how pissed I am that I have to wait until Saturdays now.
Honestly – and I bet they used the same deer for the bathtub scene, they just whacked it off the body and poured some more fake blood on it.
Eaven, if you really don't want to wait til Saturday, you can watch the eps here at the Global site…

Also?
**Because I have zero impulse control I call out, “It places the lotion in the basket.” **
*falls off chair laughing*
It was the little dog looking over the edge that did me in, Pixie. After the lotion bit I was envisioning her tempting Gigi with a chicken bone calling, "Here, Precious…."
