Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Outer Banks Season 4, Volume 2! Deaths on Outer Banks for the main characters don’t always stick. John B. has escaped death more times than one person should be allowed.
Sarah flatlined after being shot and was miraculously brought back to life. And don’t even get me started on Ward Cameron, who faked his own death in the early seasons of the hit Netflix teen drama before meeting his demise at the end of OBX Season 3 . Given the show’s history, it makes sense that fans immediately started sharing theories about how Season 5 could resurrect JJ after he was killed at the end of Season 4, Volume 2.
However, unfortunately, all those clever theories seem to be dead, too. After the official Outer Banks social media account shared a video of the cast saying their goodbyes to the actor/character while Rudy Pankow (who plays JJ) reflected on what the characters have meant to him over the years, the fans couldn't stop the emotions from flowing in the comments. If you haven’t seen it yet, grab some tissues before pressing play: “i will always carry a piece of you for the rest of my life” ❤️ pic.

I think @bellsinfinite sums up what all of us O.
