well him getting shot was pretty dramatic,
i got chicken skin (did i say that right?) and i cried, it was really intense

if he hadn't gotten shot he would be where the mini said so, going to college being a basketball hot shot (i like the idea of that...but...) maybe the degrassi writers felt that's not where they wanted to take the character...

and plus "thanks" to that we've discovered another side of jimmy, a more artistic side. i'm pretty sure jimmy will have to deal with some aspects on his life next season that will be pretty dramatic... like his sexuality as a teenage boy in a wheelchair...
