Throughout the Series

Season 4

Introduced as Wes Genrette’s partner, Chandler hosts the Pogues in his cobweb-filled mansion, where his strange demeanor immediately unsettles the group. Although he initially appears as a supporter of Wes’s mission, Chandler’s behavior hints at ulterior motives, especially after Wes’s sudden death leaves him as the sole figure urging the Pogues to complete the task. Chandler’s insistence on the curse’s reality and his fixation on obtaining the amulet raise suspicions, creating an aura of distrust around him.

Chandler pressures the Pogues to fulfill their end of the deal and hand over the amulet, claiming they owe it to Wes’s memory. However, the Pogues sense that Chandler might not be as innocent as he appears, especially when he demands the amulet while the police investigate Wes’s death as a potential homicide. Chandler’s insistence and erratic behavior create tension, as the Pogues are left questioning his intentions and his true involvement in Wes’s demise.

Chandler’s presence at the crime scene also draws the attention of the local authorities, particularly Deputy Shoupe, who calls him in for further questioning. His evasive responses and the information he provides about the amulet and the Pogues put the group in a difficult position, intensifying the suspicion surrounding them.

JJ discovers through a letter that Chandler is his biological father, linking him directly to JJ’s heritage and the Goat Island property.
