Note: The following contains major spoilers for “Outer Banks” Season 3.After the sprawling treasure hunt in “Outer Banks” transported John B, Sarah, JJ, Pope and Kiara to Barbados and beyond, Season 3 sees the “daunting” return home as the Pogues anticipate their reunion with their hometown and their families — or what’s left of them at least.“Coming home was pretty daunting for Kiara after the way she left — not knowing what parents she was coming home to like not knowing how they were going to feel,” Madison Bailey told TheWrap. “[She] didn’t know what she’s coming home to.

Does she still have her room in her house? Is she still welcome in?”Just as Kiara redefines her understanding of home, Madelyn Cline admits that “home” to Sarah was a “big question mark” as she reevaluates her relationship with her father and brother that was left in shambles of betrayal and, instead, leans on her chosen family of Pogues and the security of her relationship with John B.“I was thinking like, ‘what is Sarah gonna be coming home to?’ Last she saw her family they were they were on a boat to God knows where,” Madelyn Cline told TheWrap. “There’s probably definitely a lot of nerves like … Are we just gonna go back to normal?

Are we just gonna pretend like that didn’t just happen? What does that mean?'”While each of the Pogues confront the same family struggles they leave in the Outer Banks alongside some new tensions since their return, island native Cleo (Carlacia Grant) stands in stark contrast as she arrives in the coastal town for the first time.
