After the Pearson family slow cooker short fused and started a fire during the Jan. 23 episode of the hit NBC series, Sunday’s hour did not waste any time showing viewers what happened next.
While Jack survived the fire, he ended up inhaling too much smoke and died soon after at the hospital.
Many were speechless after the heart-shattering moment of Jack’s death, but Twitter blew up with messages of grief and sadness.
