Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about the Dec. 15 episode of ABC’s Big Sky.
For a second time in five episodes, ABC’s freshman drama Big Sky ended its telecast with a main character being shot.
In the final second of the series premiere, Ryan Phillippe’s Cody Hoyt was shot dead by Montana State Trooper Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch). In tonight’s fall finale, it was villainous Legarski’s turn to face grave danger.

Asked about the fate of his character by TVLine, Carroll Lynch would not reveal whether Legarski is dead or alive but hinted at a possible demise. “I will say that whatever happens is appropriate for this character,” he said.
