Why did Jimmy's ex girlfriend suddenly come back to the ranch and hang out?


Didn't she say "Screw this place" and left not looking back after Jimmy left? why was she suddenly at the bunkhouse hanging out in the final episode of season 4?

Yeah, another klunker in an otherwise fairly well written show.

Maybe they didn't have the time to flesh this out, but she could have been barrel racing and the rodeo was near the Dutton ranch so she stopped to see her friend (blonde, don't remember her name).

Just seemed kinda lazy on the writers part, like they realized Jimmy was gonna come back and they needed her to be there to get mad that he brought his new girlfriend but they already wrote her off, so they just brought her back with no explanation hoping no one would notice.

I thought I read Jimmy is going to be a main character on a spin-off, so maybe Mia was reintroduced to get her into the spin-off (although they could have done that on the new show).

reply

Wait Jimmy is gonna be in a spinoff? never heard about this, whats it called?

reply

Not sure, my wife said something about it - had to do with the 6666 ranch. Maybe she heard wrong?

Wow thats awesome, gonna be interesting to see what that show becomes since it seemed to be so peaceful and just about cowboying out there. Wonder what will be the conflict in it.

reply

Right... they can't just make it a nature show. Gonna have to throw in some murder and mayhem.

I actually didn't read much into that scene and found it more of a comic relief.

Ex Girlfriend trying to find out who the new woman was.

How did she know he was coming back with a new girlfriend? Everyone there was surprised. Maybe he posted it on facebook or something.
