Harry "Opie" Winston is a fictional character on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy, played by Ryan Hurst.

Clay responds by ordering Tig Trager to kill Opie and pin it on the One-Niners street gang.

After Donna is murdered, Opie spirals into depression and dives deep back into the SAMCRO lifestyle.

Members of SAMCRO are released from prison after serving 14 months for federal weapons charges, due to Stahl's actions.

Opie says that he did it because he found her birth control pills, and when she admits to having an abortion, he tells her that he is leaving her until she decides what she wants.

Jax lures Ima into her dressing room and throws her against a table, warning her to stay away from his family and the clubhouse.

One cartel member is captured in the attack, but the Mayans are hit simultaneously, losing three men and a truck full of drugs.

Later that night, Clay arrives at Piney's house and kills him, scrawling the signature of the Lobos Sonora cartel on an old photo of the Sons of Anarchy's founding 'First 9.'

In an attempt to stop Opie, Jax shoots him in the wrist, and takes him to his home, where he stays hidden.

Opie arrives at the clubhouse just as Jax, Tig Trager and Chibs Telford are being arrested for murder.

Despite initially putting up a good fight, Opie is outnumbered and eventually overpowered and beaten to death by a prison gang while Jax, Tig, and Chibs watch on through a window.

[4] Series creator Kurt Sutter said: I do believe that some of it was a sense of, ‘Here’s an opportunity for me to go out doing the right thing, to be of best service to my club’ — and also to his family, Jax wasn’t going to force himself to make that choice [of who dies].

Jax's childhood friend is certainly put through the ringer [sic], although his death falls into the 'noble sacrifice' category rather than Ophelia's famous suicide.
