Plot Overview

The wedding guests prepare to leave the inn thinking the killing is over. Problem? Shea can't find Madison. She's missing. The wedding guests decided to find her. At the prison, Shane and JD fight while behind bars. Deputy Garrett comes in to quiet them down. Suddenly, lights go out and the deputy got shot by an unknown shooter, scaring JD and Shane. JD grabbed the keys and got out of jail and dropped the keys and left Shane behind. The sheriff heads into the woods to find the cabin Cole lives in. He found Lucy's dog Gigi and he accidentally walked through a wire that triggered a pole with a knife on the end of it to stab him in the leg. Chloe, Cal, Trish and Shea headed into the basement and sees a hand mark on the incinerator door. Cal carefully used his coat to open the handle. He used a shovel and found a skull in the incinerator. Cal says it's not Madison's. That skull belonged to Malcolm after he was chopped to death. Abby, Henry and Katherine went to the swamp and Henry found a rope. He followed the rope and caught sight of Richard's corpse. Abby gets a phone call from Madison who told her that if anyone leaves the island, she would be dead. Abby, Henry and Katherine went back to the inn and discovered the phone lines had been cut off. They called the rest of the party to discuss about Madison. Sully thinks it's about the Wellingtons. Henry points out that his Uncle Marty was killed too. Sully wants to leave, but Shea told him to stay and look for Madison. When Sully asks why is her life any more important than any of theirs, this prompted Trish to slap him on the face. The sheriff pulled the knife off his leg and was carried by Cole to the cabin. Back at the Candlewick, the power lines went out. The wedding party gets the shotguns. They were found by Jimmy who informed them that the boat they were about to take left 30 minutes earlier. Sully wants to leave. Henry orders him to stay, but Sully remains adamant that if they stay here, more people die. Henry warned Sully not to cross the line. Danny and Henry went to fix the generator and discovered the battery was dead. Abby and Jimmy went to the police department and found Shane with the deputy's corpse. Abby asks Shane where her dad is. Shane makes a bargain to them that if they let him out, he'll tell them. At the cabin, Cole shows the sheriff the journal that belonged to Wakefield when he was in prison. Cole went out for help and was suddenly pinned by an arrow and dropped the lantern that caused a fire. The second arrow broke through the window into the cabin and the third arrow struck through Cole's heart, killing him. Abby and Jimmy bursts into the cabin to find the sheriff, weak from an earlier injury. He tells Abby to get the bag containing the journal. He tells them to get to the marina. Danny and Henry used a car to fix the power. When they get inside, they discover that everyone's not there. They soon found Trish, Shea and Katherine in the kitchen and realize that Sully, Beth Barrington, Cal, and Chloe went to the marina to get to the boat. At the marina, Sully was about to start the boat when Cal pleads to stay. They spotted JD and began to chase him. Sully tells Abby and Jimmy about it and they split up. Abby found JD only to discover that he was wounded. JD tells Abby that it's all about her, before he made a gurgling sound and died of internal bleeding. 13 down, a lot more to go. It's all survival mode. Will the sheriff recover from his injury? Will the guests ever find Madison? Find out on the next Harper's Island.
