Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Although the wedding invitations in the first episode noted Henry's middle initial as being W., in this episode his adoptive father calls him Henry James Dunn; it is possible that Henry secretly adopted the middle initial W. as a tribute to his real father's surname Wakefield.

Quotes:

Abby Mills: You destroyed everything I loved.
Henry W. Dunn: But you have ME!
Abby Mills: I don't want you!

A fitting finale to a good series

And so ,it is finally over !! Harper's island comes to an end with 4 survivors being able get off the island safely.. The murderer and his accomplice were revealed and it didn't come as much of a surprise although the motive was quite disturbing ;the acting was quite good from the lead characters and it was an overall good episode.

Emotions ran high and as the story hurtled to a gripping climax,it seemed to vary in pace;subtle and soft in places while it was raw and strong in others.Certain portions could have been done without ,especially certain scenes in the penultimate episode, which I thought could have been handled better.

The acting of the lead actors deserve a special mention, in my opinion ,especially in the final episode where the entire diabolical scheme is brought into perspective.

From the way things were going in the previous episodes it seemed a good way to finish off things.The second half of the series could have been slightly better.But,overall it was a fitting finale to a good series !!
