Will this bring the town closer together?

I feel like the one event that could’ve brought the town together is a significant death. It’s a small town and they basically all watched JJ grow up. I feel like his death is going to hit hard once it reaches obx. I’m looking forward to season 5, just for the reactions of the other characters like Topper, shoupe, Luke, and Kiara’s father. Maybe this is the catalyst to end the kooks vs pogue war.
