We all know the popular Netflix hit Outer Banks, which follows a group of friends looking for lost treasure and navigating the social divide on the island. They are on a new adventure this season: Will they be able to bring home the treasure from this new quest?
For season 4, the producers and editors decided that they would split the 10 episodes into two release dates, part 1 on October 10th and part 2 coming on November 7th . Producers said in a recent Instagram post that this season was the “longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce.”
This season has been a wild ride, and it is far from finished. Many predictions have been brought up on Tik Tok and Instagram, so I think it’s time to debrief and talk about what I believe will happen in the rest of the season before part 2 comes out today.
Hollis Robinson is really Larissa Generette
At the end of part 1 we found out that Larissa Generette was JJ’s mom. She was said to have passed away in a tragic boating accident with her young son. If JJ made it out alive, what if Larissa did too? We also saw Hollis and Chandler, who is JJ’s father, and Larissa’s husband, coupled up together at the end of part 1. This brings me to speculate that Hollis is Larissa because they look very similar, and Hollis mentions events from the past that bring many viewers to question this theory. The only part that does not add up for this theory, is why would she change her name to Hollis if she survived the incident, and why would she give JJ away? There’s still a lot to uncover in this story, so let’s hope in part 2 we get some clarity on this theory.
Are Rafe, Sarah, and JJ Siblings?
We just found out who JJ’s mother is, but what about Rafe and Sarah? Their mother has never been brought up in the 3 seasons that have aired. But the introduction of Hollis and Larissa in the series has shaken things up. As we know, Larissa has history with Chandler, and Hollis has history with both Chandler and Ward, who is Rafe and Sarah’s father. But what if Hollis is really Larissa? That would mean that Rafe, Sarah, and JJ all have the same mother, and would be half siblings. This could be a stretch but as pointed out on many social media platforms, there is an episode in part 2 called “Mothers and Fathers.” Will this be where we find out the truth about their parents?
Will Sarah and Rafe Reunite?
We all got a sneak peek into the reunion of this brother-sister duo, if you can even call it that, in the teaser for part 2 of the season. Let’s just say if you’ve seen the past 3 seasons you know that these two have a very rocky relationship. The death of their father, Ward, put an even greater strain on their relationship. But there were hints of them coming together again. Sophia, Rafe’s girlfriend, told him that he should try talking to her again, but Rafe rejected the possibility. That was until he realized that they were the only family they had left, and that things must change. He says that he is going to try to repair their relationship, but we were left on a cliffhanger. The teaser does show a reunion, but is it the reunion we are all hoping to see?
I am excited to see if these predictions will come true, but I’m also feeling a little bittersweet at knowing the story is almost over, after the announcement that the series will end with 5 seasons. Let’s hope that part 2 and season 5 will be as great as they say it will be.
