In just a short amount of time, Widow’s Bay became our entire personality. We can’t stop quoting it or praising its wonderfully weird characters or wishing we could actually travel there, even with all its inherent perils. With the season finale now out in the world and the big news that a second season is on the way, we’re now going down the rabbit hole with all the pieces of Widow’s Bay that will continue to haunt us until new episodes arrive. 1. What’s in Tom’s basement? When Evan and Kelly snoop in Tom’s room, they discover a locked box full of family photos and creepy letters penned by Evan’s late mother, Lauren. When Tom realizes Evan has found a photo that proves Lauren didn’t exactly die in childbirth, as he’s always maintained, the first thing he blurts out is, “You went through the basement?” No, Tom, Evan did not go in the basement. And neither did we. What other secrets are hidden down there, exactly?

However, Tom didn’t tell his son that Lauren was healthy until that fateful ferry ride. And he hasn’t told Evan that the island’s curse means that anybody who was born there can never leave.
