Major Character or Plot Details
P4L is the mentality of the Pogues in Outer Banks. They live and die on their side of Kildare Island, taking care of each other, catching waves, and maybe going on a treasure hunt or two.
JJ’s Shocking Discovery
At the end of Outer Banks Season 4, Part 1, JJ (Rudy Pankow) learns that his drunken jailbird of a father, Luke (Gary Weeks), isn’t really his dad. And the woman he thought was his mom? Just one of Luke’s girlfriends.
The Truth Revealed
Luke is hanging out not too far down the shoreline, making runs in and out. "Mostly out," he tells JJ, explaining that he didn’t say he was back because he’s a wanted man and JJ could get in trouble. At first, Luke plays dumb when JJ brings up "Albatross." But after JJ helps Luke get away from the cops (yet again) on his boat, Luke loosens his lips and spills the beans that "Albatross" was the name of the boat Larissa Genrette died on years ago. And reveals that she was JJ’s real mom. That means JJ is the grandson of Wes Genrette and Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane) is his real dad.
