Back in Henry and Trish's room the former is pensive and the latter thinks he's upset about losing to her father. She slides her arms around him and he asks if she'd choose him. If she had to choose between him and her father, would she choose him? Picking up an extra invitation from a stack that just happens to be there, she tells him that in three days, it's her and him together...forever. Actually, that's, "until death do you part," but why be picky, right? He smiles, they kiss, and she excuses herself to go into town for something. Staying behind, Henry waits until she's out of sight before pulling out a note that tells him Hunter Jennings is staying at the Pines Motel.

Busted! Part One. Oh, yes, there are multiple parts to this busting.

The Sheriff is there to tell Abby about Kelly's apparent suicide and Abby's duly surprised, but he swiftly brings up the valid point that Kelly? Had a few issues. Abby asks how Kelly did it and the Sheriff hesitates before telling her that Kelly hanged herself, like Wakefield did their mothers. They have a mini-snarling match and the Sheriff asks if there was anyone else who may have talked to Kelly the day before. Thinking of JD, Abby lies through her teeth and says, "Nothing comes to mind."

In a ladies boutique, Trish is trying on wedding-night lingerie. See? They're making up for last episode's distinct lack of skin. It can be rule number two in our drinking game - showing skin. I'll even go either sex to make it fair. She asks the sales rep for something in white, and a hand not-so-helpfully sticks in a black lacy number. Trish reiterates that she wanted white, but Hunter says he'd prefer the black. Oh, that's not gonna creep her out at all, is it? Sure enough, she ends up slapping him before quickly donning more clothing and mentioning that it was really tacky going to her father for help. Hunter's confused, so Trish helpfully tells him the load of BS her father told her the day before: Hunter asked her father for help getting her back and Daddy said, "No." Hunter doesn't look happy that her father ratted him out, but he still tries his sales pitch again, this time with extra-sexy voice and a little bit of nuzzling. Trish's eyes close and swoosh! The sales lady pulls back the curtain with the requested lingerie in her hands. She stammers, assuming that's the groom and the spell is broken.

Your recapper would like you to know that shirtless JD does not balance out the skimpy ladies, but DRINK! nonetheless. He's obviously just out of the shower and we can see that Kelly clawed him up pretty good when Abby knocks on the door asking to be let in. He tosses on a shirt and opens the door sticking his head out. Hesitantly, Abby tells him Kelly's dead. "That's weird." Is all he has to say before we cut to commercial. After, Abby's made it all the way into the room where she can give JD more details. He doesn't have much to add. He said she was happy after Abby said she could stay with her in LA, not suicidal. Finally, Abby asks the million-dollar question did Kelly mention John Wakefield at all. "She didn't have to." JD saw all the tattoos.

Katherine walks into a room, I'm not sure who's it is, but there's a shotgun mysteriously left on the bed. The soundtrack gets nervous as she approaches when Richard pops up from behind, grabbing her by the hair and accusing her of telling her husband that he's weak. "Take off your blouse." Really, show, really?! On top of everything else we now have Katherine and Richard, the S&M Twins. And if you thought he was serious about the whole rapist shtick the first time you saw this...I can't help you. I will give them both points for making my skin crawl the entire scene, though.

Back in another room, Trish is modeling the wedding dress. There was some debate in the forums about the dress, but I want to go on record by saying I like it. I think the sash could be a little thinner, but the silhouette is flattering and the color is a nice splash. Shea and Beth love it and begin gushing when Trish's phone rings. Helpfully, Beth picks it up and sees the caller ID. It's Hunter. His existence is, like the worst kept secret on the island now. Trish insists she's taking care of the "Hunter situation" and Beth seems skeptical. Bless Shea for asking for more backstory, but all we get is that back in college, Trish's mouth said "no", and her body said "yes". She insists that this is no longer the case, "I love Henry, and I'm marrying him in this dress in three days."

The more people say that, the less I think it's gonna happen.

Elsewhere, Richard and Cal are ogling Chloe who is outside doing yoga. Richard wants to know how Cal "landed her." Simple, doofus, he's a doctor, he's rich and he has an accent. Plus, the writers knew I'd be able to get some mileage out of my C&C Annoyance Factory joke. But really - it's the accent and Cal really hopes she doesn't meet a cooler British person. "Or any British person." Richard helpfully adds. As they watch, Sully approaches Chloe and they walk off together. Cal claims that he's totally OK with that, he knows Sully's not British. Also, when Richard brings up the whole hanging thing, Cal says Sully apologized. Like that makes it all better.

At the motel, we begin to learn that Henry's not exactly the pushover we may have thought him to be as he chats up Ruth the Desk Lady thanking her for the tip. It was no problem, she was just surprised he'd asked her to keep an eye out. They share a no room at the inn joke as Henry smoothly talks the room key out of her. Once inside the searching begins. Henry's coming up empty until he finds the itinerary for trip...billed to Wellington.

Busted. Part 2.

But before Henry can do the kinda-happy-dance, there's a sound at the door and he's forced to hide in the closet as Hunter returns from wherever he was. As Henry watches, clutching a letter opener he drops his phone and his keys on the bed and heads to the bathroom. While washing his face, he hears a noise and goes to investigate. But first, he has to hang his jacket up...in the now empty closet. He turns, and on the bed are the itinerary and the letter opener. How curious.
