Recent Events
As the wedding party boards the Tarapunga in Seattle for the boat trip to Harper's Island, the groomsmen greet Henry with chants of "Bro, Bro, Bro..." ("Whap"). Danny sees Trish Wellington looking down on them. Trish mouths, "I love you," and all the groomsmen vie for her attention. She confirms that she meant Henry, and he announces that he wins.
In "Crackle," Danny is on the yellow team for the scavenger hunt, along with Christopher "Sully" Sullivan, Chloe Carter, and Joel Booth. The team abandons the hunt when Chloe finds Wakefield's grave.
In "Bang," the groomsmen take Henry fishing. When Danny sees a group of seagulls, Henry maneuvers the boat to investigate. Nearby, they discover Hunter Jennings's boat, along with his remains. Malcolm Ross notices a bag full of money and pleads with the others to agree to take it. He also finds a gun in the bag, and he accidentally shoots a hole in Hunter's boat, sinking it. The groomsmen reluctantly agree to keep the money. Back at the Candlewick Inn, they discover they have $250,000 and argue about what to do with the cash. Malcolm convinces Henry to keep the money until after the wedding. The groomsmen later discuss how to spend the money at the Inn's bar. Two men enter carrying pistols in holsters, prompting them all to run outside. They decide to hide the money, and Booth is chosen to hide it.
In "Thwack," Malcolm awakens in the morning after witnessing Booth's death and burying his body. Danny pops in, startling him, and asks about Booth as Malcolm hides the money further under his bed. Danny calls Booth's cell phone and leaves a message for him. After trying unsuccessfully again to reach Booth, the groomsmen search for him. Danny suggests calling the Sheriff, but Malcolm convinces them to keep Booth's disappearance to themselves and to look for him after the wedding. In "Sploosh," after the murder of Thomas Wellington, Danny explains to the others that the Sheriff has told everyone to stay at the Inn until he can question them.
In "Thrack, Splat, Sizzle," Danny tells Sully, Malcolm, and Beth Barrington that the Sheriff is searching hotel rooms. Malcolm goes to his room to remove the stolen money. As Malcolm prepares to leave his room with the money in his backpack, Sully and Danny appear at the door, accusing Malcolm of taking Muffin. Sully searches Malcolm's bag, discovering the money, and Danny questions him about Booth. Malcolm relays the story of Booth's death to Sully and Danny. He claims to have lied out of desperation for the money, and Danny attacks him. They agree to go to the Sheriff and retrieve Booth's body.
In "Gurgle," as the wedding party prepares to leave the Island, Madison Allen is reported missing. Sully, Beth, and Danny search rooms, noting that Malcolm's bag is still in his room. They then search the kitchen. At sunset, electrical power to the island is cut. The group splits up, armed with shotguns. Henry and Danny work to start the Candlewick's generator. Although the generator's battery is dead, Henry and Danny successfully jump-start the generator using a nearby truck. When they return to the kitchen, Henry and Danny discover that Sully, Beth, Chloe, and Cal Vandeusen have left to look for a boat at the Marina. Henry goes to stop them, leaving Danny to stand guard at the Inn.
In "Seep," Sully and Beth return to the Candlewick. Suddenly, a pair of headlights illuminates the room and loud music can be heard coming from outside. Sully and Danny head outside the Candlewick and discover Shane Pierce's truck, with the keys still in the ignition. Sully turns off the truck and, as he turns to leave, Shane racks his shotgun. Danny attempts to convince Shane to lower his gun, but concedes when Shane appears unconcerned with shooting Sully. Shane leads Danny and Sully into the Inn at gunpoint and tells everyone to move into a group. Henry arrives and points his shotgun at the back of Shane's head, as Danny and Sully disarm Shane and shove him into a corner. Beth, Danny, and Sully go into the kitchen, resolving to stay there until morning, but Sully and Danny return to the lobby when they hear Henry arguing with Shane.
When Shane denies Abby Mills reentry to the Inn, Henry begins a fight with Shane, forcing Danny and Sully to break it up. Suddenly, Sully realizes Beth is missing. Danny and Sully return to the kitchen and find Beth's lantern, broken on the floor, and blood coming from under a nearby door. They break open the door and search for Beth. As Sully searches the refrigerator, Danny notes more blood. Trish, Henry, and Abby join them, and they discover an entrance to an underground tunnel. As they search the tunnels, Danny notices that the blood trail goes in two directions at an intersection in the tunnels, and Abby suggests they split into two groups. Danny and Sully spot a pool of blood on the mouth of a crawlspace in their section of tunnel. Sully says that there is no way he is going in there, and Danny reluctantly decides to crawl into the small tunnel. Turning a corner in the tunnel, Danny finds the upper portion of Beth's body, and he screams. They run back to the tunnel intersection and find Henry and Jimmy who reveal that they are heading back to look for tools with which to free Abby, who has been trapped by a falling grate. They all return to the lobby and search for tools. Trish, Abby, Madison, and Shea Allen pull up in Shane's truck, and everyone rushes outside to meet them.
After finding Katherine Wellington dead in the solarium, Henry asks Jimmy Mance to ready his boat for everyone to leave the Island ("Snap"). Sully and Danny express their disbelief, remarking that Katherine was alive just ten minutes earlier. When the group reaches the marina, the docks suddenly explode, and they come under sniper fire. They run for cover inside the Cannery. The group discusses plans for using the sailboat that Cal and Chloe had rented, and Sully and Cal volunteer to get it. To create a diversion, Danny helps make Molotov cocktails at the bar using liquor bottles and dish soap. When Madison notices sounds coming from the roof, Henry and Sully draw their weapons, and Shane prepares to blast the roof before Danny stops him. Maggie Krell appears at the window, hanged from the roof. Later, the Sheriff's SUV arrives with its flashers on, carrying an unconscious Jimmy on the hood. After Jimmy is carried inside, Danny discovers a set of keys to Abby's room at the Inn taped to Jimmy's hand.
In "Splash," Henry and Danny go to the Inn to retrieve Abby. They arrive just as John Wakefield confronts her, and Wakefield retreats. Henry and Danny take care of Sheriff Mills's body, and then they walk back to the Cannery with Abby. As they walk, Danny wonders, now that the Sheriff is dead, if Wakefield is finished killing. When they arrive at the Cannery, they find the door open and the jukebox playing. Trish, Chloe, Shea, Madison, and Jimmy are missing. Inside, they discover Shane strung up over an oar and Nikki lying on the floor, dead. As Danny covers Shane and Nikki's bodies with a blanket, he realizes that Wakefield is far from finished killing. Danny admits that he is scared, and Abby tells him that they need to finish Wakefield off. When the churchbell rings, Henry, Abby, and Danny head to the Church, where they find Trish and Chloe. Inside, Danny lights a candle. Distracted by the arrival of Sully and Cal, the group fails to notice Chloe being kidnapped by Wakefield. Upon realizing that Chloe has been taken into the underground tunnels, Henry orders the group to split up and block all known exits to the tunnels. Sully and Danny go to block the tunnel exit in the kitchen at the Candlewick. As they board up the door, someone knocks loudly, and Danny and Sully empty their shotguns at the door. After Danny looks through one of the holes in the door, a metal object is thrust through the opening. Danny and Sully realize that they have to protect their friends, and they reluctantly enter the tunnels.
Later, Sully and Danny emerge from the tunnels through a pipe near a small river. As they hunt for Wakefield, Sully suggests they split up. Danny walks alone along a trail, as Wakefield stalks him ("Gasp"). As Wakefield steps out behind Danny, Sully successfully fires a shot at Wakefield, wounding him in the face. Sully comments that their strategy worked, but Danny suggests that next time Sully can be the bait. They tie Wakefield up, and lock him in a jail cell at the Sheriff's office. Sully grabs a set of keys to the station's weapons locker, as Danny attempts to convince him to leave Wakefield alone. Sully grabs a stun gun and uses it on Wakefield, ignoring Danny's advice. Danny and Sully remove Deputy Garrett's body from the holding area.
As the remainder of the group leaves to rescue Trish at the bluffs, Danny remains with Shea and Madison at the Sheriff's office. Danny brings out food, and Madison mentions that she ate in the tunnels, and that someone else brought the food down to them. Danny brings a blanket to Shea and Madison, and questions Madison about Wakefield's accomplice. Meanwhile, Wakefield has managed to escape his bindings. As Danny and Madison play cards while discussing Hansel and Gretel, Wakefield emerges from the holding area and pulls a belt around Danny's neck. Shea runs to Madison as Danny attempts to fight Wakefield off. Shea prepares to shoot Wakefield as Danny manages to free himself by hitting Wakefield with a phone. Danny grabs the gun, telling Shea to run. Shea runs out with Madison as Wakefield fights with Danny.
Death
Danny pushes Wakefield onto a pair of nearby desks and wrestles with him. Wakefield manages to overpower Danny and impales Danny in the face with a memo holder spike on one of the desks. Wakefield then throws Danny's body on the floor and leaves the Sheriff's Station.
