Allow's break down the finer points of the Outer Banks season two ending.

John B's Dad is Alive!

Carla Limbrey is an heiress whose search for an ornate aureate cross and the holy cloak it houses puts her in the path of the Pogues. In substitution for material evidence that could prove John B's innocence in the killing of Peterkin, Carla asks Pope for a key belonging to his family, thus revealing his connectedness to Kingdom of denmark Tanney—the Freedman who used his clustered wealth to free other enslaved folks and who hid the aureate in the first identify.

Pope finds the primal but relinquishes it under threat of death. He eventually finds the golden cross besides, but loses that to Limbrey and Rafe when he goes into anaphylactic daze after being stung by wasps. Rafe ends up with the cross and Carla ends upwardly with nothing… except she'due south summoned to the Carribean, where she meets with none other than John B Senior. Alive. And offering to help her get what she wants if she helps his son. John B, and anybody in the OBX believes his father is dead, and that has been his biggest motivator in his struggle against Ward Cameron. Unlike Ward rising from the presumed dead, Big John's reveal is actually a twist, and information technology could change the game in season iii.

The Boat

After discovering his family unit's legacy, and their connection to the gilt, Pope has a personal pale in the treasure. He wants to go afterwards Rafe to get the cross back, and follows him to a cargo ship. When Sarah's stepmom drugs and abducts her, John B and the rest of the Pogues sneak onto the ship after them, to rescue Sarah, and steal dorsum the cross.

Sarah wakes upwardly on the ship, and discovers her dad—who she idea was expressionless—is nevertheless alive. Afterward Rafe was finally arrested for killing Sheriff Peterkin, Ward filmed a confession to his and Rafe's crimes, then faked his decease by blowing up his boat. He and then secretly bundled for the entire family to motility to a private island with their ill-gotten golden on a clandestine trip, to escape their financial and legal woes.

John B, Pope, Kiara, and J.J. hide in a container on the transport, until they find a way to go out. They coincidentally link up with Cleo—who helped them escape Nassau—and try a coup. They manage to subdue most of the crew for a while and nigh go the cross off the boat, but the coiffure get free and they're outnumbered 3-to-one and unarmed, so they're forced to bail . Pope would rather no 1 have the cross than the Camerons, and he uses the crane to throw it overboard. Simply Rafe manages to catch the rope information technology's attached to and save information technology.

When Sarah tries to escape on the lifeboat, Ward realizes she's non on his side and he chokes her, almost killing her. John B stops him, they fight, and Ward falls backwards and hits his head, the same way Big John did when Ward "killed" him. John B Doesn't throw Ward overboard though, he and Sarah just jump to the lifeboat to meet upward with the rest of the Pogues and get away from the ship.

All Ward Does is Win

Outer Banks does not seem interested in wish fulfillment or whatever form of happy endings—at least non while there's nevertheless some story left to tell. The villains of this story continue to win.

The Pogues found the treasure in flavour one and it was stolen by Ward who not merely got away with the theft but framed John B for the murder of Sheriff Peterkin. John B And Sarah well-nigh managed to steal the gold back in Nassau, with the help of Helm Terrance'due south and his coiffure, but Sarah was shot by Rafe "accidentally" and the gold was seized back while Sarah was being treated.

When John B And Sarah get back to OBX, John is arrested for the murder and Ward attempts to have him killed in custody. Interim Sheriff Shoupe acts on the Pogues' data, releasing John B and absorbing Rafe, but Ward's "concluding confession" is enough for them to permit Rafe go. The Pogues help Pope find the cantankerous, which Limbrey and Rafe steal out from under them, and Rafe ultimately ends up taking.

The Pogues barely arrive off the cargo ship intact, and the Camerons have the gilded and the cross. That puts Ward at… likewise many wins to count. Meanwhile the Pogues washed up on an plainly abandoned island where they're happy to alive the embankment bum life for a bit. Eventually they'll have to find their fashion home.

At present that we know Large John is alive, and that he may take Carla's resource at his disposal, we may actually become to see Ward Cameron take an L.

Outer Banks is a classic haves versus have nots tale, but information technology does not romanticize that dichotomy in whatsoever manner. The haves are thriving and the have-nots are picking upwardly scraps, and in that location is never a bespeak where these reverse positions are treated equally equal. Being rich in spirit, in friendship, in lived experience are treated as positives but never given the aforementioned weight or power as really existence rich.

It's a refreshingly grounded view, even if it can sometimes ruin the adventure considering the losers just keep losing. Give us a crumb of a win, please.
