OUTER BANKS Season 4 Part 1 Ending Explained
No, the popular character JJ Maybank, played by Rudy Pankow, does not die in Season 4 Part 1.
Following the end of Outer Banks Season 3, JJ and the other Pogues became rich after finding El Dorado. Their fortune didn't last long, however, as they quickly lost the money due to JJ's spending sprees on real estate and a final, failed bet on a motorcycle race.
According to US Weekly, JJ agrees to a dangerous task offered to him by Wes Genrette (David Jensen) in order to recover from these losses. The mission involves finding an amulet that once belonged to Blackbeard’s wife, with a promise of $50,000 if the Pogues can retrieve it. But the adventure quickly turns dangerous, resulting in JJ nearly drowning in the ocean and narrowly escaping from a hyperbaric recompression chamber after suffering from the bends during a deep dive.
