===== Summer =====
Jimmy's rebelliousness gets him into many misadventures, including multiple Breaking and Enterings. After getting caught in the attempt of one to steal Wite-Out, he is sent to Camp Reformation in the Summer of 1973 There, he challenges the authority of scoutmaster Father Karras Carris and earned the ire of Marco Pasternak, even when trying to chat with him when they are forced to cut down trees with the other kids. After being told to work longer than the others due to his rebelliousness, Jimmy decides to make it seem the tree he cut fell on him, threatening to tell his parents the injury made him limp. The plan works and he is sent to the infirmary, not having to work for the rest of the day.
Marco, his bunk bed partner, confronts him that night, and after Jimmy tells him about how he might no work again tomorrow, Marco complains that the others had to chop more trees down since Jimmy wasn't present. Jimmy defends himself by saying Karras is the one to blame for making them work, and advises Marco to take what he wants just as he did, then goes to sleep next day, Karras confronts Jimmy for having tried to steal from his ice cream cooler. Jimmy figures it was Marco, but takes the blame and is forced the punishment of having to repeatedly roll a boulder up and down a hill, which Karras based on the punishment Zeus Panhellenios gave King Sysiphus. Jimmy incorrectly associates this punishment with being reminiscent of Franz Kafka's writings, which doubles his punishment. His punishment is upped to 30 times up and down when he tries to talk back to Karras.
Jimmy spends the whole day rolling that boulder up and down the hill, and after finishing the task, he goes to sleep at night and Marco admits to him he was the culprit. Marco thanks Jimmy for taking the fall for him and they become friends. When Jimmy finds out Marco didn't manage to get ice cream sandwiches, he decides to help him try again.
The two slip off in the middle of the night, avoiding getting caught, and throw peanuts so squirrels will set off Carris' cabin's motions sensors enough times for him to stop being vigilant. They get to the cooler and Jimmy tells Marco his plan to make Carris think the squirrels will have done it. They get back to their cabin and enjoy the ice cream sandwiches.Cool Hand Jimmy [episode], Better Call Saul Presents: Slippin' Jimmy (2022) [TV show]

Jimmy passes some kids that are making Western-themed snowmen and slides off a horse ice sculpture. Jimmy arrives to where Trent Titweiler and his friends are imprisoning Marco. All of them throw snowballs at him but Jimmy is unaffected because he had multiple squirrels under his coat as armor. Jimmy then defeats all of them with a quick array of snowballs, until only him and Trent are left standing. Jimmy hits a snowball at him and retrieves Marco from his ice cage. While Jimmy is taking Marco home on his sled, Trent throws a surprise snowball at them, which Marco gets in the way off to protect Jimmy.
