Which character kills JJ in the Outer Banks storyline leading into Season 5?
Answer
Chandler Groff
Chandler Groff kills JJ in the Outer Banks storyline leading into Season 5.
Groff is revealed to be JJ’s biological father during Season 4. Their relationship becomes hostile, and Groff’s pursuit of the Blue Crown puts him directly against JJ and the other Pogues.
In the Season 4 finale, JJ trades the Blue Crown to Groff for Kiara’s life. Groff nevertheless murders him after taking the crown, making the act both a personal betrayal and the trigger for the final-season revenge plot.
The killer is not Lightner, another Season 4 antagonist involved in the treasure conflict. Lightner is killed by Pope before the finale ends.
