In Season 3 of Sweet Tooth, does Big Man die? Described

One of the main characters in Sweet Tooth is Jepp. He looked after Gus after the sudden death of Richard. He was the boy's first protector, keeping him safe from all the terrible guys and staying when others would have left. But some of the occurrences in the latter minutes of Sweet Tooth Season 3 had us wondering whether the huge guy indeed passed away.

The details of Jepp's life following their last, heartfelt chat with Gus—his favorite hybrid boy—are kept from us. But in the cave, we see Helen Zhang stabbing him. It's unclear what happened to the Big Guy, although Gus' vision seems to imply that he lived through the whole incident.In Gus' idealized future, Gus, Wendy, and Becky go to Yellowstone to join other Hybrids, although Jepp is initially absent from the picture. But we see Gus and Jepp sipping the maple syrup in the same vision as Jepp queries if he lives in this future. Consequently, it's reasonable to assume that Jepp lives if Gus' vision comes true.In addition, there's a chance that Big Man passes away in Alaska and does not survive the assault. The huge guy, a former football player, gets to spend his last hour with the child he loves the most, after his family, since he made the wrong choice that cost him his wife and infant.Now, one would question, why did we see Big Man in Gus' vision if he had died? Gus has had a challenging existence, but we must remember that he is still a child. Since he lost everyone he cared about, it's possible that the world we see is really Gus's fantasy rather than the future. And it goes without saying that Gus would include Jepp—the guy who battled the world to keep him safe—in his ideal world.

After the Crumble, Jepp's wife Louisa becomes pregnant, but when he brings her to the hospital to give birth, he anticipates seeing a typical human infant. However, Jepp becomes frightened and runs to the elevator as Louisa gives birth to a hybrid child. He encounters Dr. Singh there, who persuades him to return to his family. Jepp regrettably returns but is unable to locate them; thus, he joins the Last Men in hopes of being reunited with his kid and wife. He was leading a life filled with violence until Gus entered it. To withstand the danger, he had to murder a lot of hybrids.Jepp was constantly feeling awful about the horrible things he felt he had to do, and Gus was the way the world gave him a chance to make up. Jepp risks everything to keep the child safe—something he was unable to accomplish for his own wife and kids. Therefore, Jepp's story could not have ended any better, even if he had died in Sweet Tooth.
