What happened to Gibson on Station 19? Does Jack die on the show?

On Station 19, Jack Gibson (Grey Damon) is experiencing it once more. The official announcement that the firefighter would no longer be able to serve as a firefighter due to his head injury and subsequent diagnosis of CTE was made during Thursday night’s episode. Even a doctor’s second opinion didn’t change Jack’s chances of getting back on the rig.

“Sadly, I was prepared for things like this because Jack has already been through the wringer a few times, but it is still kind of wild,” Damon said in a recent interview.

The actor has already discovered a benefit associated with Jack’s diagnosis, though. “I have to admit that I was not entirely depressed about having to stop wearing all that heavy gear.”
