![]() ![]() Seconds later, Mother Nature puts that promise to the test by unleashing a massive wave, pushing the boat fully upright, and then flipping it backwards into the water. The dire conditions prompt a Romeo and Juliet moment from Sarah, who declares, “I’d rather die than be without you.” ![]() A storm’s rolling in, but John B and Sarah are determined to flee Kildare and head to Mexico by boat, huge swells and driving rain be damned. The Outer Banks Season 1 finale will terrify anyone who’s seen Poseidon. John B and Sarah’s Boat Capsizes In a Hurricane Both take a beating as they battle it out, but somehow, John B manages to get a jet ski in the water and drives off, bringing his first confrontation with Outer Banks’ big bad to a close. Armed with a grappling hook, Ward chases John B around his boat - which is conveniently parked in the middle of the ocean - but the savvy teen fights back after discovering a crossbow. For seven episodes, Ward successfully avoids the consequences of his shady actions, but his house of cards threatens to collapse when John B realizes he’s involved in the treasure hunt (and later, in his father’s disappearance). The Devil works hard, but Ward Cameron works harder. As Pope (Jonathan Daviss) remarks as the crew is desperately fleeing the woman’s home, “Why are we always getting shot at?!” John B and Ward Duel With a Crossbow and a Grappling Hook Luckily, the woman has gone blind and struggles to hit her targets, which soon becomes a common occurrence in the teen drama. But the Pogues aren’t able to enjoy this moment of relative simplicity because the aforementioned elderly woman, who’s rumored to have killed her husband with an ax, hears the commotion and goes after them with a shotgun (and a fire poker, but this is less of a threat). The Pogues Narrowly Avoid an Ax-Murdering Woman With a ShotgunĬompared to Season 2’s globe-hopping and complicated, Cross of Santo Domingo-fueled drama, finding buried treasure beneath a random elderly woman’s home seems almost quaint. In the final minutes of “Midsummers,” John B wakes up in the hospital to discover that he has a concussion and a broken wrist - and a new girlfriend. After some pushing and shoving, the wood buckles, and John B goes flying through the air, landing with a thud 40 feet below. After her adventure in Chapel Hill with John B, Sarah debates whether to break up with Topper, but he makes the decision easier by being a misogynistic d-bag and following her and John B to their meeting spot at the top of a rickety old lookout tower. John B Takes a 40-Foot Fall From the Lookout TowerĪs John B and Sarah have gotten closer - hell, they even got “married” in Season 2 - Topper (Austin North), Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, has taken more of a backseat, but it’s important to remember just how awful the King of the Kooks was in the first few episodes. Consider this a refresher on the first two seasons of Outer Banks, as seen through the nine lives of its teenage treasure hunters. With so much happening in every episode, these near-death experiences begin to blend together, becoming a continuous loop of chase sequences and shootouts. Eventually, their luck will run out - it’s just a question of whether that will come before or after striking it rich. In Season 3, the teens find themselves in their most precarious situation yet as they face off with a ruthless Caribbean Don willing to do whatever it takes to get his hands on the Royal Merchant treasure. You’d think that cheating death even once would encourage the Pogues to hang up their bandanas for good, but these kids have zero common sense and even worse judgment. Over Outer Banks’ first two seasons, John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), and their pals have found themselves in countless jams, some easy to navigate - at this point, they run from the police for sport - and others far more dangerous, as when Sarah’s scheming father Ward (Charles Esten) hires an assassin to take out John B (after framing him for murder, no less).īut no matter how close the teens of OBX come to meeting their end, they always find a way out: A plan comes together at the last second, someone else swoops in to save the day, or they summon superhuman strength and defeat their attackers. The Pogues may not have much in the way of wealth, but when it comes to staying alive, no one on Kildare Island has a better track record. ![]()
