Who Is Carla Limbrey On "Outer Banks"?
*Major spoilers for Outer Banks season 2 below!*
The Pogues are back! Outer Banks season 2 just dropped on Netflix and, in natural OBX fashion, the plot twists seem to never end. Seriously — who knew a treasure hunt could be this chaotic? This season also gave fans an introduction to a few new characters, including Carla Limbrey, who will do anything to get what she wants.
After that super intense season finale, I'm sure you're wondering who Limbrey is and how she knows John B's dad, Big John. Here's everything we know about Limbrey and her motives.
She's played by Elizabeth Mitchell
Limbrey is played by 51-year-old actress Elizabeth Mitchell. You might recognize her as Juliet on ABC's Lost, or even as the snow queen on the fantasy series Once Upon A Time. Elizabeth has also been on the silver screen in films like The Santa Clause and The Purge: Election Year.
She stirs the pot in season 2
Viewers are introduced to Limbrey when Pope receives a mysterious letter from her. In the letter, she claims she can clear John B's name after he was mistakenly arrested for shooting Sheriff Peterkin. Of course, this prompted Pope to go see what's up with Limbrey. During his visit, she said she needed a key that she believed he had, but Pope knew nothing of the key (that is, until his Me-Maw tells him everything).
The key actually unlocks the golden cross of Santo Domingo, where a shroud is hidden. Limbrey believed that the shroud can cure her illness, and she was willing to do anything to get her hands on it. No, seriously. She killed her right-hand man while trying to retrieve it.
How does she know Big John?
After it seemed like Rafe Cameron left Limbrey for dead after a shooting, she actually showed up in Barbados in one of the final scenes of season 2.
This is when fans found out that Big John sent her a letter with the wheat symbol that's tied to the shroud. And, yes, Big John — a.k.a John B's dad that everyone thought had died — has actually been alive for a while. But how does Limbrey know him?
Big John's research took up a ton of his time, so it's likely that he came across other people who were on the same mission to find the Royal Merchant shipwreck. That includes Limbrey, who also could have been tied to the people who kept Big John hidden.
As you can imagine, season 3 of Outer Banks will most likely dive deeper into their dynamic and how it affects the Pogues' search.
Outer Banks season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix with subscriptions starting at $8.99 per month.
