What Jimmy did to Irene was horrible, at least he gave a fleeting regretful glance back at her as she was happily walking off with her new shoes.
My take is that he really likes the olds but his main motivation for settling now is more for him to get his cut than for them to get their money.
On the other hand 'B9-lets hope that biopsy is B9' during bingo got a laugh out of me that startled my dog.
