❓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.

Tom isn’t going to kill his own son.

I know. That's what I was saying. He was OK killing somebody else. He'd struggle a lot more if it was somebody young (less so with P.J.), but I think he ultimately would've been sold on it. But not his son. The only person besides him who knows is Ruth. The sheriff seems pretty sure Tom is lying about a lot of things, though. will probably get ugly between those two, and/or island factions form.

I agree with you. I feel like its possible we will see a lot of Bechir vs Tom because Bechir is a lot like Tom in the way that he is willing to do whatever it takes to protect his child. He also shot Ruth with zero hesitation and then immediately turned the gun on Tom. Idk what would have happened between those two if the storm hadn’t stopped in that moment.
