Last week we left off at JJ and John B about to get caught in the motel room they broke into. JJ and John B ended up never getting caught because they jumped out the window and hid alongside the window hiding from the police. The two police officers Deputy Plumb and Victor Shoupe were investigating the motel room to try and find evidence as to who it belongs to. While investigating, officer Shoupe discovered the safe with all the money in it and took some money for himself and gave some to Deputy Plumb as well. JJ and John B were watching from the window and when they saw them take the money and gathering everything else in the motel room they began to have suspicions of corruption going on with the authorities. What lead the two officers to search this motel room was that there was a man named Scooter Grubbs who went missing during the hurricane and he was staying in this motel for some unknown reason.

Later on within the episode, Scooter Grubbs body was found in the marsh and word was spreading quickly throughout the town that he was found dead and the marsh was shut down which resulted in a massive search to try and find his boat. The Pogues all knew where Scooters boat was and they went out onto the marsh to go back down and search his boat while the marsh was closed off. While they were out on the marsh, John B was scuba diving under the water and the police boat came over to talk to the Pogues to tell them that the marsh was blocked off for a search and told them that they needed to get off the marsh and report if they see anything back to the police. While all of this was going on, John B ran out air from the scuba diving gear and could not breathe but the police finally drove away on their boat and John B came back up and reported what he found in his boat. In scooters boat there was a bag that had a thermos in it with a compass wrapped up in a cloth, they thought nothing of the compass until John B saw something engraved in the back of the compass and he noticed that this was his dads compass which managed to get back to him even though his dad is dead. The Pogues ended up boating back to his house and on the way back this second boat starts following them even though the marsh is closed and the people on the other boat starting shooting at them but in order for The Pogues to get away, Kiara. threw a fishing net and got the other boats propellors stuck in the fishing net which made for the perfect escape.

Thank you for reading my blog and I will finish off with the end of the episode next week and start going over episode 2. #allthingsouterbanks
