Cape Fear (2026) - Episode 4

Pierced

Written by Tara Shivkumar
Directed by Reed Morano

Max tells Tom that Zack had a dream and drew a picture of his unborn son Adam, confirming Max didn't give Zack anything last week.

After getting ooh la la, Natalie lets Nevaeh pierce her left nipple.

Tom and Zack's fractured relationship intensifies, leading Tom to have a flashback of him discovering that his older brother committed suicide.

Also, Zack has apparently thrown away his toe.

Max leads a rally to free Ruben Ramirez from Tarwater.

Anna asks Max to speak with former convict and snake enthusiast Warren Pitt, as 'Smiley' is the only person who can prove Ramirez didn't kill Maya Cook at a party back in 2003.

Max agrees and surprises Anna by kissing her.  She warns shit won't happen again, but reaction suggests she enjoyed it.

At Pitt's house, Max attacks him off screen and gets the evidence required, as a man called Andre King was responsible for Maya's murder. 

Ray calls Anna and reveals Nevaeh's mum Faith was a prison nurse and got fired for having sex with Max, saying Nevaeh could be Max's daughter.

Assessment

While identity remains unknown, Max's stalker shows up a few times, telling Anna to stay well clear.

Is Nevaeh's mother alive or dead? Somebody we haven't seen yet?

Stop making us wait dammit.

(Laughs).
