Grace Under Fire 4x8

Redeeming Jimmy

Jimmy’s back in town to stay, and, on Grace’s recommendation, he gets a job at the refinery, but his first day is a disaster, and Nadine and Wade say she shouldn’t jeopardize her job for someone who used to treat her so badly; Grace, however, says that Jimmy’s a different person than he was when they were married and he deserves to make a fresh start. Quentin goes to Jimmy for advice on dating, and he suggests that Quentin go on a practice date with a friend before asking out the girl he really likes. Grace goes to the motel where Jimmy’s staying and finds Jean there with her son. Jimmy’s depressed and thinks he’ll lose his job (in reality, Grace’s co-workers have been sabotaging him as revenge for the way he used to treat Grace) but he says he’ll never leave his kids again. Jean reproaches Grace for all the “”lies”” she told about Jimmy abusing her, but Jimmy makes Jean face the fact that the things Grace said were true.
