- **Background**: Jimmy Hawthorne, Amelia’s thrice-divorced brother, is the black sheep of the family. Known for his red-faced drunkenness and his inability to hold down a job, Jimmy is always begging family members for money. His relationship with Amelia was particularly volatile, marked by a white-hot hatred, though the exact reason for their animosity remains unclear.
- **Behavioral Clues**: Jimmy is often seen wearing a New England Patriots sweater, taking frequent drinks, and making inappropriate comments. He is quick to pass out after drinking too much.
- **Quote**: "Ding-dong, the witch is dead!" [Takes another drink and passes out.]
