While Pope initially has no idea what Carla is talking about, he does a bit of digging once he gets back to the Outer Banks.
After People shows Heyward the drawing of the key, he finds out that it looks like something his great-grandmother used to wear as a necklace.
Heyward tells his son to look for the key in his grandmother’s old apartment over the pharmacy.
That night, Pope does go to said apartment, and he notices that the background of the drawing resembles the pattern featured on the ceiling tiles.
Once many of the tiles come down, Pope notices a hole in the ceiling. He climbs up, and he finds the key for the Cross of Santo Domingo in a small bag.
When he heads over to John B’s house to share his findings, he shows Kiara (Madison Bailey) that there’s a secret message on the key.
“Path to the tomb begins in the island room,” the text reads.
While Pope may have initially thought that locating the key would be the hardest part, it comes at a tremendous cost. Heyward gets beaten up by someone in the Limbrey camp who wants to know where the item is.
Pope ultimately loses control of the key once his life is threatened, but he still manages to locate the cross. However, he once again is unable to hold onto it, and Rafe (Drew Starkey) ends up with it.
The first two seasons of Outer Banks are available to stream on Netflix now.
