The Pogues recover the crown in Croatia, where Kiara recites a prayer and begs for JJ to return.

Although she sees shooting stars in the sky, he does not return; instead, Kiara experiences memories from their relationship and learns that the crown has given her the closure she needs to accept his death.

Back in the Outer Banks, Kiara confronts Groff after discovering he has stolen the Royal Merchant gold.

After they fight, he is left hanging from a broken mast above the sea and Kiara cuts the rope, allowing him to fall to his death, avenging JJ.

John B later recovers the sunken gold, allowing the Pogues to buy back their land and rebuild their community.

Pope proposes to Cleo, while Kiara beings a marine biology internship and dedicates a beach bench to JJ.

Rafe confesses to killing Sheriff Peterkin and leaves the island with Sofia.

One year later, John B and Sarah marry at their rebuilt family home and they reveal that their newborn son is named JJ, as the Pogues gather for one final photograph.
