Jim knew of Melinda's unique ability to communicate with ghosts at the start of the series; he helped her as much as he could, though Melinda's good friend, Andrea Marino, provided most of the aid until her death at the end of the first season.
Jim mengetahui kemampuan Melinda dari awal seri dan membantunya sebisa mungkin walaupun teman baik Melinda Andrea Moreno lebih banyak membantu sampai saat kematiannya di akhir seri pertama.
