Warning: spoilers abound.

Widow’s Bay has just released its season finale, and the comedy-horror hit has us all reeling over fan theories, cliffhangers, and an uncertain future for our favorite Martha’s Vineyard-wannabe as the show gears up for its second season (which, thankfully, has already been greenlit by Apple TV).

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with one of the strangest dark comedies on streaming (tsk, tsk), a quick recap: Tom (Matthew Rhys), the tired-eyed mayor to Widow’s Bay, has big plans of turning his sleepy island town into a tourist hotspot. The only problem is that Widow’s Bay is very, very haunted, and Tom seems to be the only one pushing to open it to the public.

All 10 episodes of Widow’s Bay are now streaming on Apple TV, and as we wait for the show’s second season to hit streaming, we thought there was no better time to look back on the highs and lows of this killer first season and see who made it out of the haunt on top (or not).

Winner: Patricia

God bless Patricia. Mayor Tom’s slightly awkward office assistant, played by Kate O’Flynn, is equal parts a walking gag and a hardy final girl. She starts off a little rocky, playing the nosy secretary (“Was she in her 40s?”) and the high school outcast who hasn’t quite gotten over not being murdered (a rite of passage in Widow’s Bay, it seems). But her character arc is one of the best of the season, ending things as the woman who survived a sentient grimoire and who managed to put an end to the town’s very own Boogeyman.

Winner/Loser: Tom

Matthew Rhys shines as Tom, the bumbling town mayor who wants to turn Widow’s Bay into the East Coast’s next vacation destination. In someone else’s hands, Tom could have easily been a one-dimensional idiot who dooms everyone to death by haunted island (think that one mayor trying to get everyone to the beach in Jaws). But Rhys knows exactly when to play up Tom’s hard-headedness and when to have him listen to the townspeople screaming at him to close the island.

Unfortunately, it’s too little too late, because Tom only accepts that the island is a threat when all the tourists have already arrived in Widow’s Bay. There’s not much he can do when the big storm rolls in, and now we’ll have to wait and see how he fixes things in the next season.

Winner: Katie Dippold

The Internet’s Babadook has done it again. Although Dippold has penned a number of feature-length comedies (e.g. The Heat, Snatched, Ghostbusters), she’d been ruminating on different versions of the pilot script to Widow’s Bay for almost two decades. The years of tweaking and rethinking definitely paid off, though, because Dippold is now the showrunner to one of the sharpest (and darkest) comedy-horrors in recent years.

“I didn’t know if this would ever get made or if it would just be the fun thing I worked on on the side,” Dippold told The Hollywood Reporter. “You have to protect the story you want to tell and how you want it to feel. You have to know what you’re trying to do.”

Loser: Shaman Todd

Shaman Todd, a delightful cameo by Chris Fleming, ended up being one of the stand-out surprises of the season’s fifth episode (“What to Expect On Your Trip”). Unfortunately, our favorite cocaine-dealer-slash-spirit-guide gets sucked into the sky by a monster tornado. Rest in peace, Shaman Todd.

Winner: All the One-Liners

Props to Dippold and the writers’ room of Widow’s Bay, because almost every one-liner that’s popped up on the show sounds like it belongs in an Evan Ross Katz screenshot post (and quite a few of them have made it onto the pop culture expert’s Instagram feed). There’s Patricia’s “You had your qualms?” and Rosemary’s “Dead baby, dead baby… lesbian,” and even Sarah Westcott’s “My children? I’ve only just met them!” The writers definitely hit the ground running, which means that the bar has been set pretty high for the show’s second season.

Loser: That One Girl Who Gets Tased

Played by Lauren Bittner, Kris was the bane of Patricia’s high school days and one of her biggest bullies even years after they graduated (girl, just let it go). Thankfully, Kris gets her comeuppance when Patricia finally gives her the buzzy end of a taser. She was the worst!

Winner: The Scares

Although Widow’s Bay sometimes tends to air on the side of comedy, it does have a number of moments where it proves that there’s a reason why it’s a comedy-horror. Whether it’s the inn’s videotape glitching out, or the killer clown ghost in the basement, or even Patricia’s “Rhythm of the Night” dance sequence, the show could put a stop to us laughing with just one good scare.

Winner: The Island

The island has been fed! Its hunger satiated! The pact honored! The terrors have ceased — at least, for now. The bell has rung another eight times, which means that good old Mayor Tom needs to scrounge up a herd of new offerings if he wants to protect his people.

Loser: Everyone On the Island

This is more of a problem for Season 2, but now that we know that the island requires regular satiation, what does this mean for the residents of Widow’s Bay? Do they continue their centuries-long cycle of murdering people and never leaving the island? And what happens to Tom’s plans of making Widow’s Bay the next Martha’s Vineyard? The townspeople’s futures are still up in the air, but here’s to hoping they can eventually visit the mainland without something horrible happening (Evan still needs to catch that Red Sox game!).
