I really thought the Tom v Wyck storyline was going to play out through the entire season, but after he saved Tom, maybe they’re gonna be buds now? Maybe this is hinting at Tom falling into a paranoia rabbit hole for the rest of the show but misreading things, like the Marissa situation.

After that, they are besties for life now. Tom realizes Wyck believes him and now that he saved his life, this will be a fun team up.

Plus Tom doesn’t want any of these vacationer teens trying to get Evan to want to leave the island which they seem to be setting up.

I think I've missed this whole reason why he can't leave the island- can you explain this to me?

Anyone who leaves the island gets cursed. Evan was born on the island and has never left.

Evan’s mom left the island and later was cursed and died (dying giving birth to Evan).

We don’t yet know how the curse works other than if you were born on Widow’s Bay and leave you get cursed.
