Outer Banks season 4’s finale contains shocking revelations about several of the characters that will inevitably impact season 5, but none more so than JJ’s death. Outer Banks Season 4 sees the original cast of Pogues reprise their roles, opposite several new enemies. While trying to keep their new business afloat, they begin hunting for the infamous pirate Blackbeard’s treasure, which leads them to the Blue Crown, first around their home in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, then across the world to Morocco.
Season 4 is especially big for JJ, first when it is revealed that his real father is Chandler Groff and then when, in the biggest shock in Outer Banks’ entire run, Groff kills JJ in the season finale. The latter twist has been met with shock and disappointment from fans who question how the Pogues will deal with this tragedy in Outer Banks’ final season. JJ’s tragic death has also left audiences wondering what his wish was in Outer Banks’ season 4 finale.
Outer Banks Hints JJ’s Wish Was For A Happy Future With Kiara
The Couple Went Through So Much To Be Happy Together
While the group is in Morocco looking for the Blue Crown, which is said to grant wishes, Kiara asks JJ what his wish would be. He tells her that he can’t say because then his wish will not come true. However, as she asks him this, JJ gives Kiara a longing look that seems to imply that his wish has something to do with her and perhaps his future with her after their task is finished.
Throughout Outer Banks season 4, Kiara and JJ went through a lot of difficult situations individually and as a couple, so it makes sense that his wish could be about Kiara. JJ never actually tells Kiara what the wish was, though, so it is also possible that JJ’s wish was really about Kiara being happy rather than the two of them being together, which could still come true in season 5.
Why JJ Says He Already Has Everything He Could Ever Want In Outer Banks’ Finale
JJ Values His Friends Above Treasure
After all the trouble JJ faced with his dad, Luke, and his birth father, Chandler Groff, his life with the Pogues was the only thing that made him happy. The Pogues finding the city of gold in season 3 gave them enough money to have a business and a home in the Outer Banks. More than this, it gave JJ a chance to live a successful life with his friends. The Pogues were a better and more supportive family for JJ than his dad ever was, leading him to remark that he already had everything he could ever want.
Despite their constant search for treasure, JJ’s admission shows that his life with the Pogues was more valuable and made him happier than any treasure ever could.
Though JJ met a sad ending in Outer Banks’ season 4 finale, he had come a long way since season 1. He went on adventures around the world with his friends, and he found love in his relationship with Kiara. Despite their constant search for treasure, JJ’s admission shows that his life with the Pogues was more valuable and made him happier than any treasure ever could. Fans will undoubtedly miss JJ in Outer Banks season 5, but his final statement about having everything he wanted to be happy in life gives JJ the sentimental send-off that the character deserves.
