Episode one, The Pilot
My last post was all about introducing the characters of the show. But this week I am going to be sharing a recap of everything that happens in episode one. This first episode when it was released everybody was raving about it which is the reason why I started watching this series to begin with.
In the beginning of episode one, it begins with The Pogues hanging out in a house that is currently being built. John B was standing on top of the roof with a beer in his hand obviously drinking while underage. ten The police showed up to chase the crew out of the house while trying to catch them but they end up all getting in their van and driving away while messing with the security guards. After they escape the security guards, John B gives the full run down to the audience about how life is in the OBX. He talks about how there is 2 different types of social classes within the island which is the working class and the neglected which live on the south side and the rich people who live on figure 8. He gives a basic description of all of his friends and says that he lives on a chateau on the marsh.
He inherited the Chateau from his Dad who disappeared 9 months ago at sea looking for an abandoned ship wreck, but he remains confused on the idea of people just going missing at sea. His uncle is supposed to be his legal guardian but does not live with him or check up on him. John B was about to be emancipated as a minor and put in the foster care system, but a hurricane ended up hitting the island resulting in his foster care assessment being delayed. Due to the group being all together, they went and surfed the surge of the hurricane and mid surfing John B looked up and saw a boat fighting the aggressive waves of the storm.
The next day, the crew got on the HMS Pogue and went to fish for crabs since the storm pushed them all into the marsh. While they were on the way to their destination, John B’s boat crashed onto something unknown under the water. They decided to get out of the boat and explore what they crashed into which was the boat they saw last night while surfing, inside the boat they discovered a motel key. The motel key led to a person who was claimed as “missing”. Inside the motel room was a bunch of personal belongings, JJ and John B opened up the safe and found thousands of dollars. After this happened, someone within the motel called the police which resulted in the two of them almost getting caught.
I am going to leave you guys on a cliffhanger as to what is going to happen.
