Fans have been wondering whether Madelyn Cline’s Sarah Cameron dies in Outer Banks Season 4. This curiosity is rather unsurprising, considering how the character has had close brushes with death in prior installments.

Season 4 showed us time and time again that John B. struggles with pulling the trigger because he's apprehensive about becoming his father. And sure, Pope may have killed Lighting in the final episode, but it’s clear in the aftermath that it wasn’t a decision he felt good about, even if it meant everything to Cleo.
