Harper’s Island Episode 1: Whap



Whap begins with a swanky wedding party aboard a boat. The cast is slowly introduced minus a few key players. We begin to learn that the bride actually really likes the groomsmen because they “love (the groom) as much as (she) does.” Eventually Uncle Marty shows up with a mariachi band, liquor and some hidden items in a bag in tow. This displeases Thomas Wellington to no end and he makes it visibly clear with his fiery gaze. Later on Uncle Marty is seen in the bathroom of the boat loading his gun and sticking it in the back of his pants. Meanwhile Abby Mills arrives via taxi, hesitant to board. A one eyed taxi-driver gives her some advice and she exits the cab to arrive at the boat. Meanwhile, we see a cut scene of the killer’s first victim, cousin Ben, tied to the bottom of the ship where he would ultimately meet his untimely death at the hands of the propeller of the boat as it takes off.
