The Waterfront Finale: Belle seizes control of Buckley Empire; Harlan left in the dark, Bree Survives, Romance tested

The Buckley family saw significant developments as The Waterfront season 1 came to a close, laying the groundwork for a likely season 2 with compelling plotlines. As the Buckleys, a family with problems in the made-up town of Havenport, get caught up in criminal activity and family secrets, the series follows them.

The conclusion exposed betrayal, a risky partnership, and an unexpected change in leadership.

After making a deal, Belle takes over as the new boss.

In order to protect the Buckleys' land from Wes, Belle Buckley struck a secret deal with the Parkers, a significant cartel family. In an attempt to seize the Buckleys' property, Wes had purchased their bank debt. Belle had to take over the Buckley family business in exchange for convincing the Parkers to take care of Wes.Belle was introduced as the "new boss" in the last scene, standing over a battered Wes.

Given that Belle kept the arrangement a secret from her husband, Harlan, the choice could cause friction. This establishes the conflict in season two of The Waterfront.When Cane and Harlan needed assistance handling an unpredictable new supplier named Grady, they turned to the Parkers. Bree had been kidnapped by Grady, but she was rescued by Cane and Harlan. After Grady was killed, Harlan told Cane, "It had to be done."

Cane struggled with his first kill, but he knew it was essential to save Bree.Although neither Cane nor Harlan is aware of Belle's private arrangement with the cartel, the Parkers are once again doing business with the Buckleys.

In conclusion, this is what happened with Bree and Peyton.

Bree was thrown into the ocean after being shot in the leg by Grady, but Diller saved her life by throwing her a rescue pack. After being saved, she was brought to the hospital. Bree was able to process her trauma, which included witnessing her grandfather Beau Buckley's murder as a child, thanks to her near-death experience.When Peyton confronted Jenna, Cane and Jenna ended their affair. Even though their marriage is far from ideal, Peyton made the decision to forgive Cane and keep it going.Although he appeared uncertain about remaining in Havenport, Shawn, Harlan's son, assisted in saving Bree. Even though he demonstrated his loyalty, it's obvious that he doesn't fit in with the Buckleys' criminal lifestyle. It's unclear what he will do next.
