Outer Banks season 4 introduces a character that can unlock the worst the show has seen of Topper yet. The new season follows up on John B, Sarah, Pope, JJ, Kiara, and Cleo after they found El Dorado at the end of Outer Banks season 3. Now the team is back on another hunt, searching for Blackbeard’s treasure. Like in past seasons, the quest for the treasure is front and center, giving the Outer Banks characters plenty of dangers to overcome. However, adding an extra layer of difficulty is the unrelenting battle between Kooks and Pogues, representing a bigger threat than ever.
After season 3 of Outer Banks pushed the Kooks vs Pogues fight to the side, season 4 brings it back with double the force. Not much is known about her character, but Ruthie (Mia Challis) has already become the cruelest Kook Outer Banks has seen. Topper has always represented the Kook’s worst, but he often needs someone to push him over the edge. Rafe used to be that character, but now Ruthie is taking over. In season 4, she takes Topper’s resentment further than ever.
Unlike Topper, Ruthie seems to have no qualms about hurting the Pogues. While he may have personal reasons against them, Ruthie is driven by classist hatred. She urges Topper on because she believes the Pogues do not belong in the Outer Banks and is bothered by their presence, which she considers inferior. Not only that, but she is also dangerously entitled and cunningly smart.
