Harper's Island Trivia

1. "Whap" - How did Uncle Marty die?

From Quiz Squish, Splat, Sigh

Answer: cut in half after falling partly through a bridge

"Harper's Island" was a murder mystery that aired all over the world as a spring/summer 'filler'. It received criticism due to the graphic nature of the murders that happened in all thirteen episodes. A young couple (Henry and Trish) took all their close friends and family to an island where the future groom spent some of his younger years with his best friend, Abby. Uncle Marty was one of only two of Henry's family invited to attend the wedding. Too bad he didn't make it past the first night.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: Uncle Marty

"Harper's Island" takes place on the titular island itself during the wedding of Henry Dunn and Trish Wellington. They bring their entire party to the island for the festivities, but little do they know, a murderer, John Wakefield, has returned to this sleepy locale off the coast from Seattle, and there's no escape. Uncle Marty becomes one of the first wedding guests to be killed in the show's run, in the series premiere, "Whap". As he's walking across a bridge, it breaks, forcing him to get stuck halfway through. Without him knowing, the killer sneaks up underneath and cuts him in half, then takes his body and hangs it in the trees. JD and Abby find the body in the forest in the sixth episode, "Sploosh". The money brought to the island by Uncle Marty causes a bit of commotion, causing Booth's death in episode four. Uncle Marty originally brought the money to Harper's Island to invest in Malcolm's beer.

From Quiz Squish, Splat, Sigh

Answer: fell into a pit and was set on fire

Many years before, there were several murders on the island, all blamed on one man. Abby's mother was one of the victims. Folks were led to believe that Abby's father, the Sheriff, killed the murderer but Abby believed she had seen him. Lucy, one of the wedding party guests, went looking for her dog. She fell in a pit and was set on fire. The dog wasn't with her.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: Gigi

Lucy was one of three characters killed in the show's second episode, "Crackle". One of Trish's bridesmaids, Lucy really had a minimal role in the preceding events. John Wakefield ended up killing Lucy when she was looking in the forest for her small toy dog, Gigi, but she fell into a pit trap on the path. While in the hole, he dumped lighter fluid on her and struck a match, leaving her to burn. Gigi later distracts Trish and her father, Thomas, while the two are on a bike ride through the forests. Unfortunately, the two have a number of deadly run-ins- the two are knocked off their bikes by a large tree trap and are attacked by an angry dog unleashed by Cole Harkin.

The bride's father, Thomas Wellington, had invited Trish's old boyfriend Hunter to the island so Hunter can persuade Trish not to marry Henry. Hunter realized the wedding was going to go on as planned so he blackmailed Mr. Wellington and got in a boat to leave the island. He didn't get very far out to sea when the motor died...and so did he.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: The Cannery & Cannery

The Cannery is seen in various episodes though none of the events there are as important as ones in later episodes where a number of the locals (Shane, Nikki, and Maggie) are killed in and around the pub. Although a number of lighter moments occur here (such as Cal and Chloe trying to retrieve their lost engagement ring from a happy, newly-engaged couple), the Cannery is just one of the many places the survivors try to find refuge, but don't succeed.

From Quiz One by One

From Quiz Squish, Splat, Sigh

During the bachelor party, the men found the former boyfriend Hunter, dead from a shotgun blast. He had a bag full of money that he found on the island. The men decided to keep the money and sink the boat with Hunter in it. Booth had to hide the money and was followed into the woods by Malcolm. Booth accidentally shot himself and Malcolm took the money back to the inn after Booth bled to death.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: Church

In the fifth episode of "Harper's Island" (entitled "Thwack"), Trish and her father take a less-than-safe bike ride through the forests of Harper's Island and she informs him that her stepmother has been cheating on her father with Richard, her brother-in-law. The shock is short-lived for Thomas though. In the same episode, everyone gathers for the wedding rehearsal and he's killed by a head spade dropped from the main chandelier (when Abby flips a switch to turn it on). This major death triggers the wedding party's realization that not everything is as it seems on Harper's Island. Many suspect the perpetrator to be Henry Dunn's brother, JD, but he too is killed. Abby finds him stabbed at the end of the eighth episode, "Gurgle".

Answer: The Tree of Woe

From Quiz Would you survive on Harper's Island?

Answer: Get up close and personal.

Shotgun vs hunting knife. Hm, what is better? Cal had one bullet left in his shotgun, and if he would have gotten closer he might have had a chance and blasting Wakefield to dust. Shooting at him from far away may sound more safe, but keep in mind that there is only one bullet in the gun. Shotguns have a bad accuracy. So it's likely that if you shoot him from where you're standing, you will miss. Of course, running away is always an option. Just don't run down a bridge that is blockaded off in the middle. Oh wait, but the sacrifice! Don't do that--it will only result in the both of you dying like Cal and Chloe.

From Quiz Squish, Splat, Sigh

Answer: during the wedding rehearsal, a headspade fell from the chandelier

The Reverend had disappeared and the Sheriff looked for him. Abby went to her father's house and found research her father had gathered on the murderer and realized that her father may not have believed that the murderer was dead. Everyone gathered at the church for the rehearsal. Thomas walked his daughter down the aisle and when the chandelier lights were turned on, it released a headspade onto Thomas' head.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: Madison

Madison is the only child to attend the wedding. The daughter of Shea and Richard Allen, Madison is at the wedding to act as flower girl for her aunt, Trish. Madison plays a large role in the plotline having been the only one to have contact with John Wakefield through the majority of the story (but not knowing his intentions). Madison is kidnapped in the end of the seventh episode, "Thrack, Splat, Sizzle" and main group from the wedding party is warned that if they leave the island, she will be killed. Abby finds Madison in the ninth episode, "Seep", when the group discovers passageways underneath the Candlewick and surrounding sites. Madison, having been kept in good health by Wakefield, returns to the group. On many occasions, Madison is kept out of the loop, and this results in her forgetting to reveal important information about the killer(s).

From Quiz Squish, Splat, Sigh

Answer: harpooned through the chest

The Sheriff locked up J.D., Henry's half-brother and black sheep of the family. Abby and Henry dug up the grave of the killer and found bones, making them believe that he really was dead. The Sheriff believed Richard Allen may have killed his father-in-law because he was having an affair with Wellington's wife. Richard left the inn to call his lawyer and sploosh, a harpoon flew through the air.

From Quiz "Harper's Island"

Answer: He is hanged

While the survivors hide at The Cannery for refuge, Abby is asked to speak to her father at her room at the Candlewick in episode nine, "Snap". Under the impression that she may be John Wakefield's daughter, he reveals that she is his own daughter, but her mother did sleep with Wakefield, causing him to come to the island to commit his first slew of murders. After this, Sheriff Mills is killed by Wakefield who set the situation up as a trap. He pulls the Sheriff out the window with his car, snapping his neck and hanging him in a tree, the same way as Abby's mother. Sheriff Mills has been on the case for many years, trying to determine Wakefield's whereabouts. His attic is filled with information which may lead to the identity of a copycat, and much of it is true, but Madison and Shea do come across a number of red herrings amongst the files.

From Quiz One by One

Answer: to invest in Malcolm's beer business

Henry revealed to Abby that Uncle Marty had money, so that he could invest in Malcolm's beer business. Malcolm came up with an idea called Sacred Turtle that he tried to pitch to Thomas and Richard, but his idea was turned down. Henry moved the money to the boat that Hunter Jennings tried to leave in, so that he could see what Malcolm would do when he found the money. Eventually, Malcolm burned the money.

Answer: Killing Abby's father

Wakefield lures Abby to the Candlewick using Jimmy's badly bruised body as bait. Sheriff Mills confirms that Abby is his child, not Wakefield's. Wakefield then uses a truck to hang Sheriff Mills to the Candlewick, and reveals himself.

From Quiz Would you survive on Harper's Island?

Answer: Leave it.

Don't be greedy, now. Henry, Danny, Sully, Malcolm, and Booth were the ones to discover the bloody boat lost adrift in the ocean. It was Malcolm's idea to keep the money, even though the others weren't too excited about it. Upon their return to the island, they decided to dispose of the money and sent Booth to bury it. Malcolm followed him and accidentally startled Booth, resulting in Booth shooting himself in a main artery. He died, and Malcolm buried him and kept the money. He was haunted throughout the show by this, and decided that it'd be best if he just burned the money. While doing so, he was killed and his body was found in the incinerator.
