Character History[]
Season 7[]
In Broken Wings, at the physical therapist's office, Jimmy sees Marcus walking, and is surprised that he is able to, implying. Jimmy asks what kind of "crazy miracle pill" he took and where he could get it, leading him to tell Jimmy that he got his legs back from stem cell surgery. He asks Trina if she got in touch with the doctor in Amsterdam, who would perform the surgery on Trina. While Jimmy and Trina continue talking, Marcus continues to walk and test his legs, while grasping onto the bars.
While talking to Spinner Mason about stem cells, Jimmy mentions Marcus, saying two months ago there was a guy in his physio who was in a wheelchair, but could now walk after having stem cell surgery. Jimmy also mentions him to his father, and he tells Jimmy that maybe Marcus was just lucky.
