Jimmy is Calvin's right-hand man and lieutenant. He initially enjoys his position by Calvin's side, but begins to clash with Dan Brady when he is brought on board.
History[]
Protecting Calvin[]
When Calvin is shot, Jimmy travels to Virgin River to seek aid. He bumps into Mel and Jack and, after realizing that she is the new Nurse Practitioner, holds her at gun point and orders that she come to Calvin's farm to treat him. When she arrives, she stabilizes the leg but tells Jimmy that he needs medical attention at a hospital. Jimmy refuses, telling her that she and Jack can leave if Calvin makes it through the night. After Calvin survives the night, Jimmy allows the two to leave the farm.
Jealousy[]
When Dan Brady becomes an employee of Calvin's, Jimmy becomes increasingly jealous of the situation, fearing that Calvin will replace him as his right hand man. Calvin begins to favor Brady over Jimmy, and tells Brady that when he retires, he wants him to take over the farm; this angers Jimmy who has been with Calvin from the beginning.
Jack's shooting[]
Jack receives a phone call from Mike, who tells him that he will be questioning Jimmy. Jack asks to talk to Jimmy to confirm that it is him but since it is against protocol, Mike refuses. Mike is at the station with Jimmy and is about to question him. He leaves him unsupervised briefly, during which Jack arrives. He questions Jimmy of shooting him but the latter argues that Jack would be dead already and he would’ve been charged with the crime. Jimmy talks about his unemployment which Jack brushes off, stating that he will probably find work in prison. As Jack walks away, Jimmy remarks that Calvin is aware of Jack’s involvement in the raid and has plans to kill him. Once he does so, Jimmy agrees to take care of Mel, causing Jack to physically attack him before Mike intervenes and asks him to leave. Jack is frustrated that the person who tried to kill him is still roaming free. Mike then calls Jack to inform him that he had to let Jimmy go because he had an alibi.
Giving up Calvin[]
In season 4, Brady learns Jimmy has been released from prison. In fact, all pending charges against Emerald Lumber employees have been dropped. Now, if Jimmy testifies against Calvin, the charges against him will be dropped and they’ll also give him a new identity. Brady scoffs at the idea, believing he’s a psycho but loyal; there’s no way he’ll go for that. So Mike decides Brady should talk to him.
Brady heads in to see Jimmy and promises that he’s going to walk free, calling Jimmy a “dog in the cage.” Although Brady heads home, Mike follows and admits that they intend to double down on catching Calvin. Unfortunately, if they find out that drugs have passed through Emerald Lumber, then Brady is going back to jail.
Plotting against Brady[]
In season 6, he is seen plotting against Brady with Hazel. They planned to take all of his money, which Lark succeeds to do in the end.
Brady promised Lark full honesty so he tells her about the voicemail Brie left him while being drunk at the bachelorette party. This, plus his love confession, drives Lark to visit Jimmy at the correctional facility, too. While there, Brie spots her, and one of the wardens reveals that Lark is dating Jimmy, and Hazel is his daughter. Lark dumps Jimmy again over the phone. She is convinced Brady loves her.
Brady confronts Lark and breaks up with her. She tries to explain herself and her involvement with Jimmy, but Brady refuses to give her a second chance. Brady visits Jimmy and informs him that he is dating Lark and will look after Hazel. This sends Jimmy into a rage.
