Fictional character biography

Jimmy is Beth's 17-year-old boyfriend, who resides at the Greene farm. In the episode "Bloodletting", Otis brings Rick, Shane, and Carl to Hershel's farm after Otis accidentally shot Carl. When Maggie witnesses Rick running towards the property, she calls everyone to the porch, and Jimmy comes outside wielding a baseball bat. Jimmy and Beth later watch as Hershel works to save Carl's life. In the episode "Cherokee Rose", Jimmy gathers rocks for Otis's funeral, and everyone places a rock on the grave in appreciation for what Otis did in life. In the episode "Chupacabra", Jimmy is eager to have a gun and attempts to get one from Rick without Hershel's permission. In the episode "Secrets", Jimmy, Carl, and the women of the farm begin gun training with Rick and Shane. In the episode "Pretty Much Dead Already", Jimmy and Hershel bring Rick to a forest swamp, where they find two walkers stuck in the mud, and bring them back to the farm to put them in the barn. When Shane observes them returning, he tells everyone that the walkers in the barn are not the friends and family they once knew, that they are no longer human. He breaks open the lock on the barn and lets the walkers out, and the armed members of the group shoot them all in the head. Jimmy comforts Beth as she cries. In the episode "Nebraska", Jimmy helps dig graves for Sophia Peletier, and members of the Greene family. In the episode "Triggerfinger", he notices that Lori had gone missing. In the episode "Judge, Jury, Executioner", Jimmy is with the group that finds Dale after his is attacked by a walker, and witnesses Daryl putting Dale out of his misery. In the episode "Better Angels", Jimmy helps board up the windows of Hershel's home, and helps the survivors from the Atlanta group move their things into the farmhouse. He later helps investigate the barn after Randall was set free. In the season finale "Beside the Dying Fire", walkers overrun the farm, and Jimmy drives the RV near the barn and successfully rescues Rick and Carl from the barn, but Jimmy is killed and devoured slowly and immensely when walkers overrun the RV.
