Ending explained:
Damian aka PoolBoy
PoolBoy is the username that Damian uses to blackmail Puleng with her sex tape, which he gets Leigh-Anne to record.
He gets Fiks kidnapped after she leaks Puleng’s sex tape herself because she doesn’t want her to find out about the incident that could send her to jail.
He then gets Puleng to fetch Gregory for him. He ties Fiks up and live streams her confession to the world.
When the authorities catch up to him and surround the building, he plans to kill Gregory, Fiks, and Puleng, but can’t go through with it.
He also tries to kill himself but Fiks and Puleng talk him out of it, ultimately leading to his arrest.
The incident & Fiks’s actions
PoolBoy is Damian, a former Parkhurst High student who had a major crush on Fiks and also was violently bullied every day while everyone watched and did nothing.
Gregory Dickson, the swimming captain, asked Fiks to invite Damian to the pool so that he could subject him to a hazing tradition.
Fiks agreed reluctantly and had drinks with an unsuspecting Damian before Gregory and his friends arrived and sent Fiks away while they bullied Damian.
When Damian retaliated, Gregory got violent and drowned him. Fiks was left alone to administer CPR while Gregory and his pals fled the scene.
He also had a stroke while drowning and was later hospitalized.
While Gregory and his friends lawyered up, Damian was blamed for being responsible for drinking by himself and drowning.
Fiks was given chances to speak the truth but she remained to hide it, leading to Damian getting expelled and a heap of troubles for his father and mental health.
He decided to get revenge and began exacting his vengeance by becoming PoolBoy. After his arrest, Gregory comes clean about the incident to the authorities.
He also reveals that Fiks was never a part of his plan, to begin with. Before Blood & Water season 4 ends, Fiks is let go and the accessory-after-the-fact charge is dropped.
Chris & wendy
Chris becomes KB’s manager and does so with enthusiasm but incompetence. He goes ahead with his tracks even though KB hasn’t gotten his samples cleared.
The owner of the samples is Ruff Beats, a ruthless gangster who comes to seek retribution. He demands 300 grand from them.
Chris ideates selling stolen papers for money, but that plan fails and he and KB are kidnapped by Ruff Beats.
Wendy decides to help him by paying off Ruff Beats with the gold coins she steals from her mother. However, it doesn’t come to that as she realizes what Ruff Beats really wants.
He wants proper credit for his beats, a public apology, and royalties for a year. The deal is made and he leaves them alone.
However, Wendy and Chris are through. She can’t handle his constant lies and also learns that he kissed Lunga, and breaks up with him.
Chris later takes the fall for the stolen papers and gets expelled, but he’s okay with it because he wants to work as KB’s manager.
As Blood & Water season 4 ends, he and Wendy have broken up but still sleep with each other until their graduation, after which she moves to Spain for university.
