As a dedicated fan who has followed the thrilling journey of the Outer Banks crew since its inception, I must confess that Captain Terrance’s untimely demise in season 4 left me reeling. His selfless act of shielding Cleo from harm, despite their complex past, was a poignant reminder of the bonds that truly matter in this world.


In the Netflix series “Outer Banks,” Captain Terrance was absent during season 2, but he reappears in season 4. And let me tell you, his actions thus far in this season have solidified him as the main hero of the story so far, but beware, spoilers from part 1 follow.

In our second season, we encountered Terrance (alongside Cleo!) following the escape of John B and Sarah, who had a bounty on their heads. Initially intending to capture them to claim the reward, Terrance appears rough and unfeeling. However, as events unfold, it’s revealed that he secretly aids John B and Sarah. Additionally, he serves as a father figure for Cleo.

He pops back into the story in Outer Banks season 4 episode 4, as Lightner and his crew have hired him. That is what he’s known to do. Though Terrance did not know that Cleo and the Pogues were involved. And though it seemed like he was going to double cross her at first, it was just an act in front of Lightner. He warns Cleo to listen as these are very dangerous men and to just hand over the amulet. Terrance was also able to convince Lightner not to kill her and the Pogues.

It’s understandable that Cleo doesn’t want to give it up without a fight, so she attempts to deceive Lightner, but unfortunately, he’s more powerful than she is. Later on, Pope rushes back to Poguelandia 2.0 in a desperate bid to trade the amulet for Cleo’s life. Meanwhile, Terrance spends this period trying to shield her, and ultimately does so one last, heart-wrenching time.

In a narrow instant beyond the deadline, Pope finds himself under attack by Lightner, who also assaults Cleo. Trying to shield Cleo, Terrance engages Lightner in combat, but tragically becomes ensnared in the ensuing chaos. Fatal shots ring out, taking Captain Terrance’s life, a devastating blow for Cleo. Despite his relentless pursuit of wealth, Terrance demonstrated heroism beyond measure, prioritizing Cleo due to their deep-rooted bond. He had taken her under his wing and nurtured her since she was thirteen, serving as a father figure when she had none. Much like the Pogues, Cleo considered him family.

As a gamer, I can’t help but feel the weight of this tough defeat, even though Terrance and I didn’t share many gaming sessions. However, his courageous act of shielding Cleo, showing genuine care for her as if she were his own daughter, truly made him a hero in my book. Rest In Peace, Captain Terrance. His absence will undeniably cast a long shadow over Cleo in the upcoming part 2 of Outer Banks season 4, as we’ve witnessed her thirst for vengeance unfold in part 1. I can’t imagine it will be easy for her to move on from this loss anytime soon. But I have faith that Pope and their friends will stand by her side during these trying times.

🌊 As a die-hard fan, I can’t hide my excitement! The long-awaited Part 2 of “Outer Banks” Season 4 premieres on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, only on Netflix. Don’t forget to catch up with our recaps and reviews of the first half of the season before diving into the thrilling second part!
