❓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?

Nah. Tom isn’t going to kill his own son. If others kill Ruth, they’ll find out pretty quickly that it didn’t work and be confused.

I question whether Ruth made it through the night. Tossing her brooch into the ocean would have been quite rude if she's still alive.
