Outer Banks’ Carlacia Grant Explains How Cleo Will Be Affected by Terrance’s Death in Season 4 Part 2

We left the characters of Outer Banks in some tough places at the end of Season 4, Part 1. JJ discovered his father is not his biological father. John B. deals with trauma to lose his father. Pope and Sarah are stuck underground, and Cleo mourns the loss of her friend and parental figure, Terrance. So when I had the chance to chat with Carlacia Grant, who plays Cleo, about the ending of part one, she explained how this tragic death would affect her character moving forward.

When I interviewed the cast of Outer Banks Speaking of Season 4, I had to ask Grant how she prepared for Terrance’s death scene and the impact it will have on Cleo. In response, she kindly told me that she loved Terence Rosemore, who plays Terrance on the show, and that she knew his character was happy to have the captain back in her life. So that made the loss even harder, as she told me:

It was just to get into the story and Cleo’s story, and I kind of played as a character that Cleo was thinking about Terrance, and Cleo was wondering what happened to him and Stubbs, and she wanted to reach out, but couldn’t. find out how to find it. And then the moment comes, and there is no time. There’s no time to say how sorry she is or how much she misses him.

Grant went on to say that the moment obviously didn’t happen the way (Cloe) wanted and that she wasn’t able to say goodbye to this man who played such a pivotal role in her life. She is therefore deeply hurt by this loss on several levels.

Now let’s move on to Season 4, Part 2 – which will premiere on Netflix’s 2024 calendar November 7 – Cleo feels ready for revenge and she will do anything to get revenge on the man who killed Terrance. At this point, while talking about what was going to happen to his character, Grant told me:

She wants revenge. It’s the only thing on her mind. As if she wanted revenge. And she thinks that it is by moving towards this thing that things will be balanced. She wants him to feel exactly what she felt in that moment, like she ripped his guts out or ripped his guts out of his body. And I don’t think she’s going to stop until she understands.
