Does James die in ‘Queen of the South’?

Unlike Teresa’s former lover Guero Davilas, who made his exit from the collection in Season 3, there's no indication that James is leaving the forged of Queen of the South anytime quickly. In the Season Four finale, a bloody and overwhelmed James was dropped off in front of Teresa’s warehouse. 

Later, audience learned that James risked his life to warn Teresa that the CIA was once coming after her. Previously, Alice Braga opened up about her character’s dating with James, which has been difficult, to say the least. In an interview with EW, the actress shared, “In this global, love weakens you.” 

“It puts you in a very unhealthy scenario because it could actually be used in opposition to you, to harm you. This happened to Teresa already in Season Four when they killed [her godson] Tony to hurt her. Season 5 will show a harsher Teresa and her struggles with James's go back and dealing with the loss of her godson," Alice continued.
