Back at Shane's Shack of Despair, Shane's being assisted into the back of the Sheriff's SUV while JD and Abby look on. Once secure, the Sheriff turns to his daughter and tells her that was quite the story she was telling. She says she was just trying to keep Shane's attention, but adds that she still thinks Kelly was murdered. Her father won't agree or disagree, but he adds that Kelly was a good kid and if someone did do that to her, he's gonna make him pay.

At the fancy party's bar, the groomsmen are giving Sully a well-deserved hard time. Cal slides up and with a wicked grin and pretty much serves Sully his exact apology right back to him, complete with the offer of a beer. The groomsmen can barely keep from laughing and Danny even gives Cal a fist bump. Hell, revenge that sweet, I might have, too. They even manage fake sneezes so they can blow feathers on Sully again. Henry comes up as Sully's about to storm off to kill Cal, and firmly tells him "no". He left Cal strung up like a pinata, Cal honey and feathered him. They're even.

Hunter slides into the room via a side entrance (see, worst secret EVER!) as Wellington gets a text, "$50,000 or I tell Trish the Truth." Wellington and Katherine look up, see Hunter and Wellington nods. Hunter will get his money. Satisfied, he slides back out of the room as we quickfade to Henry tapping on his glass to give his toast. It starts out gracious enough, thanks for the dinner, thanks for the week, thanks for fathering Trish, but instead of leaving it there Henry continues. He knows many people were wondering if Wellington would ever accept the guy who used to clean his boat as his son-in-law, but the happy truth of the matter is...he doesn't have a choice. It's said with a smile and a hand on Wellington's shoulder but you can practically smell the hostility through the screen. The audience laughs as he finishes and everyone clinks glasses.

Later, on the docks, Hunter is getting ready to leave as Wellington appears, almost out of nowhere, to give him his check. Hunter takes it with a smirk and starts the engine to pull out of the slip.

You know what? We haven't killed anyone this ENTIRE episode. Not even an extra. We're due, aren't we?

Back at Kelly's house, the Sheriff is doing the CSI Flashlight Fandango, looking for clues that someone else may have been there the previous night. Sitting on what appears to be a jewelry box is a gold bear with fake ruby eyes. Flashing back to Kelly's crimson gaze, he picks it up WITHOUT GLOVES DAMMIT!!! and looks at it carefully before setting it down.

Hunter's out on the open water, heading back to the mainland. He looks over and barely concealed under the co-pilot's seat is...Uncle Marty's bag. Yep, when Hunter reaches over to open it up, it's all the cash and even the gun. Wasn't it nice of the killer to put it back?

The Sheriff opens the jewelry box and starts nosing around. He pulls up the tray and finds an article with a headline about him killing John Wakefield.

While Hunter picks up one of the bundles of cash with a chuckle, the boat's engine sputters and rattles to a stop. He tries to restart, but no joy. He gets up to check the engine, but the hatch's latch is stuck. He tugs once or twice and it finally pops up, revealing a shotgun which promptly blasts him dead in the face. Ka-blam, indeed. The gunstock has a small plaque on it, "Made for the Candlewick Inn," just in case we missed all of the gun porn from earlier in the episode. The boat simply floats there, adrift.

Still looking at the article, the Sheriff gets a call. It's our coroner with the results of Kelly's autopsy. That substance in her eyes? Wasn't blood, it was ink. The Sheriff sounds perplexedly unaffected by this confirmation that Kelly was, indeed, murdered. Possibly because as we watch, the camera pans down the rest of the article. The accompanying picture of the Sheriff has had it's eyes colored over in red and there's a message scrawled across it in red lettering.

Blackout.
