That night, Opie, Donna and the children attended a party held in celebration of Jax's baby son being released from hospital. When they left, Opie took Donna's car to take the children home and Donna took Opie's pick-up truck.
Tig followed the pick-up in his car and shot Donna dead, believing that Opie was driving. The last episode of Season One ended with Donna's funeral, which was attended by Sons of Anarchy from all across the country.
Although it was not shown, it is likely that Opie was arrested for Hefner's murder after the funeral. However, it is unlikely that he was convicted as Jax threatened the witness into leaving the state, and the case was built entirely around her statement.
In the First episode of Season Two we see Opie returning from a road trip after Donna's funeral and that he is still mourning the death of Donna. He has yet to find out that Clay ordered the hit and that Tig carried it out.
Clay leads them to believe one of the Mayan's members killed Donna, which leads to them hunting one of them down. He is about to get the truth of the matter from the member, when Jax pulls him off. He distracts Opie while Tig shoots the Mayan in the mouth.
Opie shot him in the head, and carved the Anarchy symbol into his chest, to send a message. He has recently acted apathetic, reckless, and brooding. In the 2nd episode of season two, when the Mayan's ambush the firearms deal with the Niner's he breaks from cover to singlehandedly kill several Mayans. In the 3rd episode of season two, he was willing to go head on against several Aryan Brotherhood drug dealers until Half-Sack stopped him.
He even go so far as to use high-explosives with fuse instead of remote detonator to blow up a meth lab. Jax even asks him at the end of the episode if he has a death-wish to which he coldly replies he's putting in more for the club now that Donna is dead.
Recently, he has begun to develop a friendly relationship with one of Luann's pornstars, Lyla. While others seem to look down on Lyla because of her profession, Opie connects with her because much like him, she is also a single parent who is struggling to make ends meet. He trails Stahl and find that she is covertly dealing with Chibs. At a surveillance point, Opie was able to corner Stahl and threatened her with a pistol, wanting her to feel the pain he has felt since his wife's death.
Knowing the possible consequences, Opie decided not to kill Stahl. Opie returned to the clubhouse where he made peace with Clay, telling the members present at the table Clay, Jax, Tig, Bobby, and Juice that the truth about Donna's death was to never be discussed again. He revealed that he saw Chibs with agent Stahl, but was able to convince Clay that they should hear Chibs' side of the story before making another rash decision.
When Piney attempted to shoot Clay, Opie defended his father and convinced Clay to be forgiving. Opie was last seen passionately kissing Lyla, who he is now in a serious relationship with.
Opie experiences relationship trouble with Lyla, being uncomfortable with her porn-star lifestyle. When Lyla and her porn star friends are entertaining businessmen for a deal between SAMCRO and the Triads, Opie starts a fight with the man Lyla is pleasuring, that loses the club a good cash payment. To make up for his mistake, he sells one of his motorcycles to get money for the club which is ultimately used as a retainer for a bounty hunter, but is not refunded when the bounty hunter's services are not needed.
He later seeks advice from Gemma on his relationship and proposes to Lyla. Chibs executes Jimmy by giving him a Glasgow Smile and stabbing him in the chest while Opie executes Stahl by shooting her in the back of the head with a MAC, explaining to her, "this is what she [Donna his wife] felt" when Donna died, as Stahl pleads with Opie, telling him he had sympathy before [Noting from earlier.
When he warns her if she ever tries to hurt SAMCRO again, he will kill her, after she tried using him against his club]. He shows physical relief for having finally gotten revenge. He and Lyla marry in the season premiere. While he is reluctant to enter into a deal with the drug cartel, fearing what his incarceration or death would do to his new family, he votes yes in the final decision, trusting Jax to steer the club in the right direction.
Unbeknownst to him however, Jax intends to leave the club after the deal is complete and is pushing Clay to pick Opie as his successor. Eventually when trying to track Georgie Caruso for Luann's murder, he gets to Lyla's dressing room and discovers that she has been using birth control and morning-after pills, which infuriates him as she has been denying him a child together. This ultimately leads to Opie to calm his sorrows with Ima. Jax, who is equally disturbed, confronts him about the situation.
Opie admits to Jax that things with Lyla are not really working well and that he still misses Donna. Hurst lent his acting chops to one of the most tragic and tortured souls on the show, from his very first appearance until his very last, when the beloved character was brutally killed during that gut-wrenching episode of season five.
Hurst loved the show, and he loved his character. Kurt Sutter had an idea of the direction he wanted the hero, Jax, to take from the very beginning of the series. Before Sutter sat down to write the script for season five, it was the first season of the series that he had to start working toward the end of the show. From the very beginning, he planned for the show to run for no more than seven seasons, even if it was the most popular television show.
He knew that season five would be the catalyst to get Jax where he needed him to be for the series finale. By Rebecca Ford. In the premiere episode, Pope forced Tig Kim Coates to watch as his own daughter was burned alive. And now, just three episodes in, a major character —Opie Ryan Hurst — has been beaten to death, sacrificing his own life to protect his best friend Jax Charlie Hunnam and the motorcycle club that caused the deaths of his wife and father.
As soon as the episode finished airing, fans were shocked, heartbroken and confused. Many wondered if Hurst had asked to leave the show, as some other actors have done in the past. Creator Kurt Sutter spoke to reporters on Wednesday morning to explain his decision to kill off a major character who had been on the show since the beginning.
