Widow's Bay is moving toward yet another big episode after the shocking events of Episodes 6 and 7.
Episode 8 titled Your Baggage, will be dropped on Wednesday, June 3 on Apple TV, with the streaming platform expected to drop the episode at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday night for an early release.
After the ending of Episode 7, it's no surprise that we're expecting another major twist involving Richard Warren’s bloodline and whatever secret Tom accidentally uncovered.
Episode 7 has most definitely taken the story into a darker territory, and we can't wait to see where the story heads next.
In the previous episode, a "dug up from the grave" Richard admits to how the island’s curse began. Tom and Wyck then took Richard beyond the Dead Zone hoping to end the curse, and the final few seconds of the episode, yet again, changed the direction of the season after Evan found proof that his mother may have actually survived.
With only a couple of episodes left this season, Episode 8 is about to open another layer of the island’s history, and we're here for every bit of it!

Widow's Bay Episode 8 will be dropped on Wednesday, June 3, but Apple TV subscribers will most likely be able to stream the drop on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET.

The horror comedy series was first released April 29 and it has turned into one of Apple TV’s biggest breakout shows this year. Having a mixed bag of creepy island lore, deadpan humor, and character arcs we really care for, has kept us hooked each and every week.

The cast of the Widow's Bay includes:
Matthew Rhys as Mayor Tom Loftis

Richard’s “death”, the curse, and more about Episode 8
In Episode 7 of Widow's Bay, right after Richard was dug out of his grave, Tom learned that island’s curse started generations ago during the colony’s first winter.
Richard explains that he made a deal with an evil force after eating the strange mushrooms, and in return, the settlement lived, but the sacrifices became part of the covenant.

Tom and Wyck agreed to take Richard way past the Dead Zone because he believed that dying outside the island’s limits would finally break the curse on the island.
The boat trip was one of wildest scenes of the series, especially after Wyck admitted he accidentally caused a childhood friend’s death years ago during a similar boat journey.
Things got worse once Richard suddenly changed his mind and attacked them before the men forced him back into his coffin. After crossing the boundary, Richard finally died and the curse seemingly ended, or so Tom believed.
The finale of Episode 7 takes away hope once again when a hidden clue suggests that Richard’s bloodline may still be alive, which means that the curse isn't over just yet.
According to Apple TV, the synopsis for Episode 8 also hints that story is not done yet. The synopsis reads:
“Don't worry about old misplaced luggage. Old baggage always resurfaces in Widow's Bay.”
This pretty much confirms that buried secrets are coming back again, especially after the previous episode suggesting that Richard’s bloodline may still exist.
