Introduced during the course of the shows second season, Jimmy OPhelan went on to become one of the third seasons chief antagonists. The always welcome Titus Welliver played the character with the right amount of shadiness and charm and the characters relationship with Chibs Telford was an intriguing bit of history that rightfully served to make viewers' hatred of him just as personal as Chibs' own. In the third seasons finale, Jimmy was given up by the Russians to the Sons, only to be taken into ATF custody. Fortunately, thanks to one of the series biggest and best twists, Jimmy and long-time problem Agent June Stahl were isolated by Wayne Unser, buying Kozik, Opie and Chibs a window of opportunity to take care of the two birds with one stone. During a great final scene between the two men, Jimmy owned up to his fate, earning himself a Glasgow Smile and two knives to the neck from Chibs. Its an unforgettable and rewarding payoff for the characters history with one another and plays second fiddle as the third seasons deathly highlight only to one we'll get to soon enough.
