OBX season 4 recap
Need a season four recap before part two comes out? We’ve got you covered. If you haven’t seen season four of OBX yet, take note: there are spoilers in the summary below.
In the first five episodes of season four, we see that our gang finds itself in a rebuilding era. The crew uses the gold they found in the lost city of El Dorado to launch their new venture, a bait and tackle shop on the Outer Banks. Things are tough on the island, so the gang agrees to a new employer venture with mysterious millionaire Wes Genrette to locate a talisman from the wreck of the pirate Blackbeard at the bottom of the sea.
The crew retrieves the jewelry – a large gold pendant with gemstones on a chain – but not without an epic underwater fight scene that leaves Kiara and JJ almost for dead. The success is short-lived when Sheriff Shoupe discovers that Wes Genrette has been murdered and the Pogues are once again prime suspects. This leaves some Pogues wondering if Genrette’s belief in a curse on his family was true – and if the jewelry can help, as Genrette believed.
Meanwhile, Rafe explores a new business deal to develop a piece of land called Goat’s Island, the same island where the Genrette family lives. His business partner, a new character named Hollis (Brianna Brown) and his romantic partner Sophia (Fiona Palomo), both try to influence his decisions.
In the final episodes of Part 1, the Pogues are chased by another group after the trinket. Lightner, the man who attacked Kiara and JJ underwater, kidnaps Cleo, apparently with the help of Cleo’s old ship captain, Terrence, to force the Pogues to hand over the jewelry. Unfortunately, the ransom deadline results in a deadly shootout, and Terrence gives his life to save Cleo. The group, now with a corpse on their hands, no trinkets and mounting debts, has no choice but to change course and search for an even more precious artifact: the Blue Crown, last known to be buried lay with Blackbeard’s men. in Charleston, South Carolina.
When we leave the Pogues, the crew is in a cemetery in Charleston, without JJ and Kiara. Pope and Sarah went underground in search of any sign of the Blue Crown, while Cleo and John B. kept watch and ended up having another fight with Lightner’s group. In the final moments we see them, Pope and Sarah are trapped underground as the water quickly rises, leaving fans wondering if they will get out in time.
The real cliffhanger of the season is thanks to JJ. While the crew is in Charleston, he hunts for his absent father and discovers that his biological parents are actually Wes Genrette’s deceased daughter, Larissa, and Genrette’s friend Chandler Groff. It’s a huge revelation and cliffhanger that leaves fans with more questions than answers, especially when we see Chandler and Hollis discuss the business deal for Goat’s Island together in the show’s final scenes.
