Wait, what happens to Terrance in Outer Banks season 4?

Terrance (played by Terance Rosemore) pops up in Outer Banks season 4 part one after Cleo is kidnapped by Lightner in an attempt to find the trinket. Lightner takes her from the quay that the Pogues have bought and then threatens to kill her if she doesn’t reveal where the amulet is hidden.

It’s at this point that she comes face-to-face with Terrance again, whom she thought was dead. While he appears to be working with her enemy, he insists he’s not on the wrong side, telling her he also thought she wasn’t around anymore.

When the trio is at the Pogues’ house, Cleo struggles to find the trinket. It’s then when Pope arrives home with it. As Lightner moves to kill Cleo, Terrance jumps in the way and is shot, eventually being killed by the wound. The Pogues then have to hide his body from the police, before giving him a sailor’s burial at sea in episode five—aka the final one before part two arrives next month.

Who is Terrance?

In case you need a recap, Terrance has been part of Outer Banks since season 1, when he was introduced as the captain of the ship that rescued Sarah and John B. when they got into a crisis in the storm. Initially, they saw each other as enemies, but the trio quickly became close friends.

Then, in season 2, a member of his crew—aka Cleo (played by Carlacia Grant)—joins forces with the group of friends as they continue their mission in the Bahamas. And while Terrance doesn’t make an appearance in season 3—it was assumed he was killed in the shootout with the police at the end of season 2—he remerges in a surprising Outer Banks season 4 part one scene, with the gang threatening the crew.
