Netflix was getting a bit better about this for a while. They didn’t split high profile shows like Heartstopper or Nobody Wants This in half, but Outer Banks? Unfortunately it did not avoid that fate.

Above ground, John B is grappling with PTSD following his father's death in the season 3 finale. When Lightner and his band of mercenaries catch up with the Pogues in Charleston, John B's grief makes him unable to shoot Lightner, letting the rival treasure hunters get away with some kind of important scroll from the church.

Netflix’s Outer Banks predominantly takes place in the titular string of barrier islands near the coast of North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, with the plot partially focused on the wealth and social disparities between the people living there.
