(I'll be back when I wake up. The finale of this part will happen sometime tomorrow (technically today). As a bonus, here are some cliff notes of all the hints of Abeer being the killer. This should answer some questions you might have while I'm sleeping)

*Abeer’s Kills
Any kills not listed here were done by me, without Tyler’s (UnicornChicken’s) knowledge. He was only responsible for these ones
-Abeer killed people in scenarios similar to how people died in his favourite book “And Then There Were None”. He was possessed the moment he touched the cursed copy of it in the library. Holt planted it there for him to find, and he was drawn right to it
Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine
=Suffocated his own husband *before* coming to Paradise Island. This was the only kill driven by Abeer (rather than Holt) and was the reason Abeer was “dark enough” to be used as a puppet. Abeer wanted to escape his husband and live a life of freedom with his money
Nine little Soldier Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight
=Martin died, trapped in his bed
Eight little Soldier Boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven
=Spencer said he’d wait for Ella, but got paralyzed and buried alive
Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
=Abeer attacked Holt with an axe, splitting him like a piñata. Behind the scenes I actually forced Tyler to kill Holt so it was shocking for him too when he “died” and “returned from the dead”. All season Tyler didn’t know which of my characters were the mastermind (the devil) or how he was going to fit in (completely) as the killer
Six little Soldier Boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
=Daisy was stung by a dangerous bee that Abeer released near her in a jar. He later used that jar to frame Jimmy
Five little Soldier Boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
=Jackie was murdered and set up to look like a court room scene
Four little Soldier Boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
=The “red herring” was Jimmy being falsely accused. Abeer sent him to his death, while flying under the radar and disposing of evidence at the same time
Three little Soldier Boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
=Abeer pushed the bear statue onto Naya after it triggered him
Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
=Zach and Devin were both locked in tanning beds, but Abeer only needed to kill one. Devin survived and Zach “fizzled up”
One little Soldier Boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none
=Abeer went to finish the job and began hanging himself. The curse broke because he finished all of his duties and he was saved by Boomer, Bethy and Josie
