Despite that, it is safe to say the same will not happen for JJ.

As such,JJ is really dead inOuter Banks.

Groff tells JJ that he will let Kiara go safely if he gives him the Blue Crown.

JJ does so, allowing Kiara to go free and Groff to escape with the treasure.

JJ’s death could have been in response to this.

Groff was trapped in a well by Rafe before being found by the Pogues.

After a brief conversation,JJ decided to leave Groff in the well.

JJ left Groff to die in the well, with Groff doing the same for his son.

Larissa was Groff’s wife, JJ’s birth mother, and Wes was her father.

Therefore, this could also have factored into Groff’s murder of JJ inOuter Banksseason 4.

After killing JJ, Groff escapes with the Blue Crown in hand.
