Season 4 Part 2 of Netflix’s Outer Banks was a tortured hero arc for proud Pogue JJ Maybank. Reeling from the discovery of his Kook ancestry in the final minutes of Part 1 and from the threat against Poguelandia 2.0, he snapped and went on a rampage. He then was betrayed by his biological father Chandler Groff who tossed him overboard to die.

“Outer Banks” killed off one of its most beloved characters during the Season 4 finale. JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow) was murdered by his biological father, Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane). Groff went after JJ and Kiara (Madison Bailey) to get the Blue Crown. He held a knife to Kiara’s neck and JJ handed the Blue Crown over to save Kiara.
