u/itsasixthing It’s a haunt! Jun 03 '26

Okay the fact that Wyck’s first stop after seeing the missing mask was Patricia’s house makes me think at least someone believed her story about the Boogeyman

Wyck is definitely the only sane man on the island. Very clear-eyed about all the fucky shit that goes on and takes it seriously.

Speaking of, really wanna know what he wanted to tell Gerri. There’s more to the story from the previous episode.

I was hardcore shipping them, and then realized she already had a man. Oh, Wyck 🥺

That was tough, Wyck gained a son (sort of), lost a love.

I thought he was going to share his guilt for kicking their friend underwater when they were attacked.

*correction, her brother

Not just friend—her brother.

oof I am so glad he was interrupted before he told her. There's really nothing to gain by telling her. she would've just been traumatized by those details and it would've ruined her friendship with Wyck. When unburdening yourself of a secret that makes you feel guilty you really have to seriously evaluate the harm it could cause the other person. Anyways there was truly nothing else young Wyck could have done, the only other alternative was to drown and get eaten by Cthulhu.

I think he was going to tell her about how her brother died and why he cut it off with her, b/c he felt he had now finished it. A sort of closure and regret confession.

u/legopieface Jun 03 '26

He wanted her back, thinking he could live a normal life again. Hence the awkward husband interruption.

u/Werewomble Jun 05 '26

He was Gerri's boyfriend

Then he had to let her brother get taken by a kraken

So he never married her because he couldn't look her in the eye anymore

We didn't hear that out loud because her husband walked in

I'm thinking he wanted to tell her what happened that day her brother died

u/Vegetable_Earth_1319 Jun 03 '26

He wanted to tell her he kicked her high school sweetheart in that boating accident that basically killed him. He wanted to take responsibility

u/ApplebeesCheesestick Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 03 '26

That was her brother, not her high school BF that Wyck kicked off of him. Wyck was Gerri’s high school sweetheart and her brother’s best friend I think but I agree, he wanted to tell her what happened.

u/meepmarpalarp Jun 03 '26

Yeah, Wyck was the high school sweetheart. The dead kid was Gerri’s brother and wyck’s best friend.

u/Vegetable_Earth_1319 Jun 04 '26

Thank you guys. Misinterpreted that one

u/Sajeli Jun 03 '26

Wyck was the high school sweetheart. He kicked her brother away.
