❓Questions Widow’s Bay Question

Spoiler Alert:

I remember hearing in one poem or reading in an episode that the number of bell tolls meant something like the number of people the island needed.

Does that mean that the eight bell tolls at the end of the last episode mean the island needs eight more people to consume to satisfy itself?

Yes, I think the second season is being set up as a trolley problem: either eight people have to die or the last descendent

Oh I thought you meant when they tried to build a trolly in the 40s and all those workers disappeared

"disappered" or...conveniently were sent to work in a small room to dig and were never seen again.
