At the bonfire, Henry and Trish are having beers, Abby's getting Booth to try oysters on the half-shell, and Sully's juggling. A cell phone rings and after a moment we see Henry digging in his pocket. With a flip, Henry sees the text message: Found a wild 1 CU at wedding. The caller ID reads, "Uncle Marty". Henry and Trish share a joke about Marty's knack for the ladies and now I guess they won't be missing him for awhile longer, then. Nicely played, Killer.
Arriving now is Shane, this should be good. Henry jumps up and approaches him with a scowl on his face. Oblivious and with a sneer, Shane thanks Henry for the invite. "I know what you did." Henry growls and Shane gets about ten seconds of denial time before Henry lets loose with a punch that knocks him to the ground. JD? Is amused. Trish? Is confused. Gigi the dog? Dashes off. Shane and Henry share another tence moment before Shane lumbers off and Lucy starts calling for her darling Gigi.
In the distance an ominous figure in shadow watches.
Gigi is a being happy, if ill-trained puppy dashing through the underbrush, right past a sour-looking Hunter. Is he the man in shadow? Is he?
Meanwhile flashing police lights are casting their glow on the still-hanging Kelly. The Sherriff flashes his light on the corpse as a deputy turns on a light so the audience can see better. Nikki stands in the back, her hands covering her face. Seriously, no one asked her to leave the crime scene?
Back at the bonfire, Chloe's calling for her wayward little puppy, Cal. The look on Sully's face is priceless as he realizes that he forgot to go back. After a quick cut, we see Sully leading Chloe, Malcolm and Abby to look for Cal. Malcolm totally gets the snicker line of the evening. "Can someone please explain to me why anyone outside of a Road Runner cartoon would build traps like these?" Abby says she's heard of pit traps and snares on the island, but she'd never seen one. Really? On a small island with hunters and seasonal tourists and limited space we're supposed to believe that there are mythic death-traps hidden that no one's found? Who designed this island, Jonathan Kramer?
Lucy's wandering in the woods looking for Gigi, ALONE. In the DARK. Where there are PITS and TRAPS. Why, yes, that was an anvil being dropped on my head, thanks, show.
Eventually the nice safe people in a group group discover Cal, still hanging, and quite alive despite my pleas to kill him after the first episode.
Lucy finds a pit trap. I'm saddened to say it does not have stakes in the bottom of it. Gigi appears at the top...along with an ominous pair of shoes. Because I have zero impulse control I call out, "It places the lotion in the basket." Our killer is nowhere near as eloquent, but he does have something wet and cold to drop on poor, poor Lucy. Something that I bet is flammable since next we see a scratch and hear a "crackle" as a match is lit and dropped into the pit.
Lucy goes up in flames. The episode fades to black.
If you can’t wait for the next recap to find out the latest victim, check out our Character Overviews. Every week, it’s a big red “x” over who died and a description on how they went, courtesy of our own Astro Jones.
And if you care to speculate, debate, or get irate over the events on the Island, check out our Harper’s Island Forums. Also? It’s an awesome place to ask if that person did that thing that time on that episode, or if you’re just imagining things.
Per usual, the last page is for the people who like their death in close-up. (Even if this week the best shots went to the dead deer.)
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…

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…."
