Events of GTA V
Jimmy is first introduced at the end of the Franklin and Lamar mission where he purchases a yellow BeeJay XL SUV from Simeon Yetarian's dealership. Later during the same mission, "Complications," he is heard playing a first-person shooter game when Franklin breaks into Michael De Santa's home to repossess the BeeJay XL that Jimmy bought earlier.

In the mission Father/Son Jimmy calls his father to inform him that the family Marquis yacht has been stolen and he is trapped inside the boat. Jimmy tried to sell the boat for drug money but the "buyers" decided to steal the boat instead. Michael and Franklin race after him in Amanda's Sentinel after the yacht; which is being transported on a trailer down the freeway. They manage to rescue Jimmy, who was hanging on the boom, but they lose the yacht.

In the mission Daddy's Little Girl, Jimmy is playing his games console in his bedroom upstairs and is shouting insults through his headset so much that his dad cannot hear the dialog of the film he is trying to watch. Michael angrily marches upstairs, they get into an argument which ends with Michael smashing Jimmy's television with a chair. Michael attempts to bond with Jimmy by going on a cycle together. When they arrive at Vespucci Beach, Jimmy challenges his father to a bike race with the condition that if Michael loses; he has to replace the TV he just broke. After the bike race, regardless of who wins, Jimmy tells his father that Tracey is partying on the Dignity yacht with her friends and some porn producers. Michael dives into the sea and swims towards the yacht, despite Jimmy's pleas.

Later on in the mission, "Fame or Shame," Michael finds a block of cannabis in the fridge which belongs to Jimmy. He later comes into the kitchen to get his weed and has a dispute with his father which abruptly ends with the unexpected arrival of Trevor. Jimmy tells his father that Tracey is auditioning for the TV talent show Fame or Shame so Michael and Trevor rush off to stop Tracey from embarrassing herself on live TV.
