Does Sarah, Pope or Ward Die in Outer Banks and Who Else Died?

Neither Sarah nor Pope dies in Outer Banks, but Ward dies in the season 3 finale, i.e., season 3 episode 10 of the show.

Outer Banks debuted in 2020 and follows a group of teens, known as Pogues, who embark on a treasure hunt for solid gold with several other notorious parties also chasing it. Such a plot means that someone is always getting killed, kidnapped, or threatened in Outer Banks, and things get to a head in the season 3 finale when the parties finally reach the location of the treasure. Gun battles ensue, and many fall. So, who dies, and who is still alive in Outer Banks? We have the answers you seek.

Does Sarah Really Die in Outer Banks?

Sarah did not really die in Outer Banks but she is nearly killed on several occasions thanks to her involvement in the treasure hunt. In season 1 episode 10, she and her love interest named, John B, attempt to escape on a boat as police authorities, who wrongly believe that John B killed the sheriff, close in.

A storm, however, assails their ship and downs it. Sarah and John B are presumed to have drowned in season 1 episode 10, and this makes many believe that Sarah is dead. By season 2 episode 1, the pogues mourn both Sarah and John B, but the two later appear to tell their friends that they survive.

Sarah also nearly died on multiple occasions in season 2, and the ironic thing about this is that her family members are behind the attempts on her life as they look to get their hands on the bountiful treasure. In season 2 episode 2 of Outer Banks, Sarah’s brother named Rafe shoots her as the episode draws to a close. This, of course, makes many people rush to the conclusion that Sarah is now dead, but this is untrue.

In the next episode, she is shown fighting for her life. She even flatlines but luckily recovers. Her brother, meanwhile, makes it clear that even though he was aiming at someone else, he had no regrets about shooting her. Sarah’s brother also attempts to drown her in episode 5 of season 2 of Outer Banks, but she is rescued by her former boyfriend named, Topper, who still loves her.

Sarah’s father, the wealthy but shady Ward Cameron, also attempted to strangle her in season 2 episode 10, but John B rescues her and they jump off the ship where the attack takes place and into the sea. Of course, the episode and the season end with that cliffhanger which makes some believe that Sarah has died, but she and John B are shown to be alive and well in season 3 episode 1.

In episode 8 season 2 of Outer Banks, Sarah, John B, and the other pogues are in a house that is set alight by the jealous Topper. They, however, make it out alive as firefighters arrive to battle the flames.
