Shetland season 6 recaps reveal that the Shetland Islands’ determined detective was jailed in front of his crew in a very terrible ending to the season.
The “unlawful death” of Donna Killick, a familiar but unwelcome figure from season 4, led to Jimmy’s arrest as he stood there, seemingly resigned to his destiny.
After a letter was issued stating that if Donna was discovered dead in this manner, it would be deemed murder, Duncan helped Donna take her own life and Jimmy helped cover it up.
The destiny of Jimmy’s character is in jeopardy with the recent revelation that his actor, Douglas Henshall, is departing the program after the upcoming season Shetland Season 7.
