Status Updates From Night Shift

Jim has the dream again, and this time, we finally see it. It's a flashback to his brother's murder. When Jim was nine and Wayne was twelve, the two were ambushed by a trio of bullies. Jim was able to get away, but two of the bullies stabbed Wayne and killed him. And it appears that Jim suffers from PTSD from that. That must be what caused his breakdown at the school he interned at. Yikes.

Jim has a good schedule but hates his final period class, Living with Literature, mostly consisting of jocks with low intelligence. They're extremely disrespectful, and Jim gets encouraged to threaten them with poor grades to make them ineligible for sports. He does this with Chip Osway after he catches Chip with a cheat sheet, giving him an F on the exam. But Chip threatens that they'll get him for this. Yikes.
