Well, I just knew that you don’t cast a Cylon and not use him. I guess I just wish I was wrong.
Lots of great theories have been flying around in the comments for the past couple of weeks, but tonight’s episode really seems to narrow down who is likely working with Wakefield in all of this. Seeing the majority of the main characters holed up in the Cannery during the shootings, there are only a few people to call out as possible accomplices at this point:
- Joel Booth — Yeah, we saw him shoot himself in the leg several episodes ago, but it was such an outrageously stupid act for a killing on this show that I’m almost willing to buy this theory. Sure, he was walking around in the woods, scared out of his wits when Malcolm happened upon him. Is he Wakefield’s son?
- Ben Wellington — This has been another theory being tossed around, and it goes hand-in-hand with the bag of money we’ve seen being handed around. We saw a body under the boat in the first episode, and we assume it’s Cousin Ben because of the cell phone going off under the water. Was it really Ben?
And … that’s about all I’ve got. Everyone else was accounted for. However, both of those choices are as far fetched as picking someone who has an actual alibi. Have I missed anyone? Remember, it’s unlikely Wakefield was the one with the rifle in the Sheriff outfit, since he wasn’t wearing it when we saw him with Abby. What, would he really go through the trouble of changing clothes again later?
Aw, man! I’m a little disappointed. I really, really didn’t want Wakefield to still be alive (damn that Cylon thing!), but I’m glad that the previews alluded to the fact that there may be another killer.
There’s still the whole money thing, and I’m standing by my theory that before all is said and done, we won’t just get an accomplice, but a long-lost relative. Now that Wakefield’s alive, it may not be his son (but I’m not ruling it out) but instead some Wellington relative that wanted the money somehow. Yep, that’s money’s still in the game.
I’m not on board with the Cousin Ben thing at all, but Booth is a definite possibility.
So here’s my question: If Abby isn’t Wakefield’s daughter, what does he want with her? If it’s just because she’s Sarah’s daughter, that’s kind of weak. There’s got to be another connection there somewhere.
And it’s OK that Jim Beaver’s character dies, because it’s not Bobby. Bobby is not allowed to die (Supernatural, people, follow along).

Ok so John Wakefield was revealed as one killer in episode 10 and there’s supposed to be another killer and I’m about 98% sure it’s Henry because:
1. It’s his wedding and he’s the one that wanted it to be on Harper’s Island so maybe he purposely did that so him and Wakefield could kill people off.
2. His parents are supposedly dead but we don’t know that for sure so he could be Wakefield’s son.
3. If he is Wakefield’s son then that makes him and Abby half brother/half sister which is why they are such good friends and why he’s always defending her.
4. He was going to marry a Wellington — a very rich family. Now, Mr. Wellington is dead, Katherine is dead, Madison has a “new friend”, and Richard is dead. That leaves Trish and Shea but I heard Trish is suppose to die next episode. I don’t know if that’s true but if it is then maybe Henry expects to inherit the Wellington family’s fortune.
5. I highly doubt it’s Jimmy because if he is Wakefield’s son then he would be related to Abby and and wouldn’t he know that?!?! And they’re dating…… I think that if he did he wouldn’t date her because that’s really gross!!!
6. Him and JD never really got along…. ever. I think it’s because Henry was adopted since he is really Wakefield’s son and JD and him are just complete opposites because of it. And I don’t know if the producers purposely did it or what but Henry and JD didn’t even look a like… maybe it was supposed to be because of what I explained or maybe it was just coincidence.
7. In the last few episodes it seems like he hasn’t wanted Abby to go off alone…. maybe because he’s afraid that Wakefield will kill her and he wants her to be alive until the very end for whatever reason.
8. He had unexplained cuts on his arm.
9. While everyone else finds it easy to say that Abby is Wakefield’s kid, Henry is always trying to convince them that “maybe” she isn’t…. because he knows she isn’t and he is??
10. Nobody that he loves has died yet: Trish, Abby, Chloe, Cal and the groomsmen other then Malcolm but I think the motive for his murder was what happened with Booth and he was mad at him….. again… coincidence or a hint???
And for all the murders that show it can’t be him, then it was Wakefield and all the murders that he could have committed then it could have either been him or Wakefield.
And him being shot at may have be Wakefield’s way of throwing suspicion off of his accomplice. Plus, Henry was the one that lead them to The Cannery…. maybe because he knew that Wakefield needed the Candlewick to be empty that night so Abby could meet her dad and run into Wakefield.
I also think that it can’t be Booth even if he is alive because I just can’t see him committing such violent murders. Like, everyone suspected he went home to his mom when he went missing so he’s a total mama’s boy and just seems to soft for the kind of murders that are going on.
“nobody that he loves has died yet”
what about Uncle Marty?
Uncle Marty was the second person killed and remember how at the beginning he got the gun out of that bag of money??? Well, if Henry and Wakefield really are after money then there’s the motive. And when Abby and JD told him that they found Uncle Marty dead, he didn’t seem too devastated. I would assume that since that’s like the only family he has that he would fall apart, kinda like how Trish took her dad’s death.
One more thing: I’m assuming that Nikki wasn’t killed because she means nothing really but Maggie is the wedding planner and runs the Candlewick Inn. So, Nikki was of no importantce to Wakefield and the other killer (I think it’s Henry) but they had to have Maggie dead because the purpose seems to sabotoge the wedding and she’s the planner and there’s that chance that she may have gone back to the Candlewick Inn since she runs it and Wakefield needed it to be empty so he could kill the Sheriff and run into Abby.
I haven’t actually been trying to solve the mystery, but did the producers ever say if it was a fair mystery? Have we been given all the clues to solve it, or are they able to pull things out of a hat to create a solution?
I like nonames comment about why the Maggie would be killed even though she’s a local.
Booth was lying there dead and got buried. We never saw his body again, and they never did find the grave to dig him up, but even as agitated as Malcolm was, I don’t think he’d bury someone who was still alive.
and no, Bobby can never die.
I also agree it is Henry. He seems like a normal skinny kid, but he is definitely scrappy. He has also successfully kept everyone on the Island. When they wanted to leave, he told them they had to look for the little girl.
I’m guessing that both He and Abby are Wakefield’s kids. They are twins. The sheriff said she was his daughter, but didn’t say she was his biological daughter.
I think that it was very significant that he gave Abby the missing page of the diary so willingly. Everyone was wondering if he was going to lie about having it, and he didn’t. That was done to throw everyone off. I say it’s Henry.
I actually think that it is Jimmy. My theory is that Jimmy is actually Wellington’s son. He is never around when the murders take place (usally right after if we do see him).Many years ago when Abby was running through the woods and Wellington almost caught her, Jimmy is the one who stopped him from hurting her. I don’t think he wanted him to hurt her and he did let her know that he is the one who stopped Wellington, maybe because he wanted to kill her himself because he wanted revenge for their mother giving him up and keeping her. Her father sent her away suddenly before he could do anything and since they didn’t keep in touch he couldn’t hurt her while she was away. Henry actually still spoke to her all of these years and if he wanted to hurt Abby he could have done it. JD did say it was all about her so that is why I think the murders are happening now that she is back on the island. Again, these are just theories, I could be totally wrong!
This is getting about ridiculous. Where in God’s name are all the rest of the people who live on the island, you know all the bar people from the beginning of the movie? I’m glad this show is ending — it’s getting really stupid.
I began to think it might be Henry after Abby found JD and Henry had blood all over himself. If you look real close at the hands of the person who shoots the State Police, they look like Henry’s.
I don’t believe it is Jimmy becasue Abby’s dad told her to stay with Jimmy. He loves you. I do believe that Jimmy was helping the Sherriff track down Wakefield.
I think it’s Henry. I think he’s Wakefield’s kid and he’s resentful that Sarah stayed with Abby and that he got left behind, for whatever reason. It was him who brought and kept everyone at on the island and he was at the harbor in Seattle when the cousin Ben was killed and strapped to the bottom of the boat. He used to work on boats and live on the island so his qualifications match up the same as Jimmy’s. The thing for me is the early episode when he was shooting discs off against Wellington. He let Wellington win and we saw that he’s a dead shot. Whenever anyone takes a shot at Wakefield, they miss but Henry always has a gun. If he took the shot, he’d kill him. Why doesn’t he? Because he’s in on it!
I am strongly convinced that the killer is none other than Sherrif Mills. Ya ya, wakefield killed him, but after reading “And then there were none” i started thinking: The killer in that book was the one person who had all suspicion removed from him, ie, the sheriff being hung. And the stuff in his attic, he could always just say, why would i kill ppl when ive got all that stuff in my attic?
