In season 2, we find out that Cleo is part of his crew and after a very rocky start, they end up join forces with John B and Sarah in the Bahamas. Terrance disappears very early on in season 2 and is not seen again... until now.

What happened to Terrance in Outer Banks season 2?

Terrance is first seen in the season 1 finale but his storyline doesn't start fully until season 2 episode 1. It doesn’t take long for Terrance to find out that John B is wanted for first degree murder and currently has a bounty on his head.

Terrance, alongside Cleo and Stubbs, were originally set to hand them over as soon as they arrived in the Bahamas but John B and Sarah managed to escape. They were later recaptured and ended up teaming up with the trio to steal the gold from the Cameron estate.

In season 2 episode 3, Terrance, Stubbs and Cleo end up getting caught by the police, and Terrance and Stubbs are not seen again after that. Cleo reveals there was a shoot out but she managed to jump overboard.

Stubbs’ whereabouts are currently not known, but thanks to Terrance's reappearance in season 4, we know that he managed to survive that season 2 stand-off with the police.

What happens to Terrance in Outer Banks season 4?

Terrance doesn't appear in Outer Banks season 3 at all so it's a huge surprise to eagle-eyed fans when he pops back up out of the blue in season 4.

In episode 3, Cleo is kidnapped by Lightner and taken to his crew's boat. There, she comes face-to-face with her old friend Terrance. Terrance is now working with Lightner but he quickly reveals his true motives to Cleo.

Terrance is not one of the bad guys, he's actually trying to help the Pogues. He tells Cleo: "I was hired by the guys to take a run and find some kind of trinket. I didn't know that you was mixed up in it. I thought you were dead."

Terrance ends up becoming a hero in episode 4 and ultimately saves Cleo's life. When Pope arrives a few minutes later with the amulet, Lightner moves to make good on his promise to kill her. Terrance tackles Lightner, saves Cleo but ends up getting shot and killed by Lightner.

In episode 5, the Pogues honor Cleo's wish to give Terrance a proper send off and they bury him at sea.
