Although the episode does not show him dying on-screen, Jimmy does not survive the attack, especially considering its severity.

Glen Gould’s Departure from Tulsa King

Neither Paramount+ nor Glen Gould announced the actor’s departure from ‘Tulsa King’. But given the death of Jimmy the Creek, the announcement is just a formality at this point. There are two important reasons not to expect to see Gould again in the crime drama series from now on. First of all, after Mark Mitchell survives a cliffhanger, the show has no chance of repeating the process to bring Jimmy alive in the ninth episode of season 2. Showrunner Terence Winter and his team of writers likely won’t pull the same trick on viewers twice within three episodes.

Additionally, Jimmy’s survival doesn’t open up many narrative avenues for the series to exploit. The pot dealer has become an expendable part of Dwight Manfredi’s crew lately, especially after the former Mafia capo decides to rely on windmills to expand his weed business. With Bodhi in charge of this new operation, he no longer needs Jimmy’s help. In other words, there’s no reason for the writers to once again trick the audience into a character who isn’t an important part of the narrative. The show has more to benefit from Jimmy’s death than just his survival. With his death, the battle between Dwight and Bill Bevilaqua intensifies, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the season.

So, considering these factors, we think it’s time to say goodbye to Jimmy the Creek. Gould’s impressive performance as the wise pot dealer will be missed as the show progresses. Still, the narrative coverage of his death is expected to enrich the remaining chapters of the second part.
