Trish awakens to find that Jimmy is missing along with her shotgun. His return startles her, but he explains that he's spotted a freighter while walking along the bluffs. When they arrive at the bluffs, the freighter is gone. We leave them as Trish stands by the edge of the cliff with Jimmy looking on behind her. After witnessing the death of Cal and Chloe, Sully and Danny pursue Wakefield. They decide to split up to cover more ground. Thinking that Danny is alone, Wakefield emerges to attack him, but is hit with a partial shotgun blast from Sully who was using Danny as bait. Abby and Henry come upon the trio and she's given the chance of finishing Wakefield off, but instead knocks him out with the butt of her shotgun. They take Wakefield to the jail and lock him up and agree that the law should decide his fate. Henry goes to get Trish and Jimmy, but finds an empty car. He returns to the jail and relays to the others that Trish and Jimmy are missing. Shea reveals that she found a file on Jimmy in Sheriff Mills' attic, which contains his arrest reports and states that Jimmy was a suspect in a murder case in Seattle. Wakefield awakes in his jail cell and wants to talk to Abby. She asks him why the killing has continued, why it didn't stop with her father's death and Wakefield responds saying that this is all about her. He asks if Abby's mother ever loved her father, the Sheriff. Abby taunts him, telling him that they loved each other. Angered, Wakefield reveals that he loved Abby's mother but she stole his son and because of that, she paid with her life. Jimmy arrives at the jail. Trish's fallen off the cliff and needs their help. Suspicious of Jimmy's criminal past, Henry confiscates his shotgun and accuses Jimmy of pushing Trish off the cliff. Jimmy states his innocence. Henry, Abby and Sully take Jimmy back to the cliff to see if he's telling the truth. At the cliffs, initially there is no sign of Trish and tempers watch

Harper's Stars Delve Into the Mind of a Serial Killer: Henry Was "Born Bad"

Death became Harper's Island Saturday when the limited series wrapped up with two big (but maybe not-so-surprising) reveals: The second killer and John Wakefield's child both turned out to be the groom, Henry (Christopher Gorham). If the murderous rampage wasn't enough, Henry also shared that he did it all for the love of his life: his half-sister Abby (Elaine Cassidy). Creepy? Yes, but Gorham, who didn't find out he was the killer until after filming seven episodes, "loved it," he tells TVGuide.com. "I immediately bought a scary-looking knife that I kept in my pocket that no one knew I had. I was armed from the next day." See what else the actor and Cassidy had to say about "broken" Henry, whether or not he committed incest and more.
