Jaden trusted David Watcher and wanted to understand him more. Jaden helped David stab Jessie Skid, but Jaden did care about Jessie still and later informed Daisey to tell someone at PD on where Jessie was located at.

A day later Jaden was being hunted by Quick Fix crew and Jaden was concerned more about concealing David's identity than himself. After awhile, Jaden met with Raja, Zeke and Summer. He was let go. David helped Jaden be protected by Quick Fix, but Jaden grew weary of PD and Daisey and doesn't trust them or anyone who is affiliated with Quick Fix.

He really like the conversation with Tobi and exchanged numbers. A day later they went to go to another event that was held at Bahama Mama's and it reminded Jaden of how he liked to go to Gay Bars but also, never felt accepted in the gay community. He then tried to talk to Tobi and make him feel accepted, but he couldn't let go himself feeling accepted. So then, he brought Tobi to an abandoned apartment by The Job Center. He held a gun to his head and forced Tobi into handcuffs. He then stabbed Tobi and had someone pick up his body and hid it.

Tobi forgave him and they ended up dating a day later. Jaden and Tobi spend time together randomly but usually secretly. Jaden doesn't want Tobi to be a liability.

Jaden noticed a guy name Flop Dugong on the yellowpages, he instantly remembered the animals he saw when he was a kid. He then remembered how they became humans and told Flop that maybe he is reincarnation of a Dugong. He also remembered he was ridicule for having a universe worth of an imagination in middle school and how painful it was to give it up. He then wanted to spend time with Flop and randomly made a last minute decision to take him captive and ultimately stab him in near the power plant on the beach. He hid his car at the prison and later on gave Flop a pet rock.

Through Mako Nokt and his card dealings and raffles, he has met a lot of people. One in peculiar person he met was EMS Leonardo Sand.

He kept talking to Leonardo and wanted to hang out with him off duty. He did get the chance a had a long car drive through the windmills and the train tracks. He did unfortunately stab him in Paleto Beach while he was speaking Italian for Jaden. Jaden remembers he did learn the language before. In return he gave him flowers when he woke up.

Stewie Black introduced himself to Jaden as his doppelgänger. Jaden didn't like his reflection. He often doesn't enjoy looking at himself in the mirror because he remembers the self-loathe he once felt. He took Stewie captive and stabbed him under a bridge on Ocean Highway.

Jaden met Iris Volver and learned to like her, because she reminds him of his niece "Little sister he never had". He feels the need to protect her.

Jaden also revealed to Thalia he was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. She requested him to get the medical records and send it to her. Jaden did get the medical records but only gave her a couple the pages. It is unclear what is on the other pieces of the report but it might be something to look into. After the week of waiting, Choi texted Jaden and told him to get to Pillbox right away.

It has been revealed that he has a hemorrhage in his brain and bone shard stuck in his brain. Choi told him to make final calls. Jaden calls Tobi Argent and Ferst Temple. Jaden then went back to Choi and dressed up for surgery. Choi and the nurses softly sedated him and Jaden is still awake during the process. There was a small hiccup in the surgery but nothing to major. He did mention a name, called James and also his Mother and Twin. The surgery went well and he survived. Choi did place Jaden in Postoperative Care and Jaden slept for the rest of the day.

Jaden woke up a few hours later and Choi asked him some generalized questions about where he is and what year it is. It seems that Jaden is having amnesia and doesn’t remember a year from his surgery. He also had different demeanor and tone to him. He believed he was in Anchorage, Alaska and that his mother and twin is still alive. Choi then, recommends that Jaden get mentally cleared by a therapist to leave pillbox. Jaden waits in patient rooms and waiting rooms till a therapist comes along. He is visited by Justine Maway (Shadow) and they shared an interesting conversation. during mid conversation Jaden hears James speak to him, telling him not to trust Justine but also keep her close.

Royal came to Pillbox to talk to Jaden and she spoke to him, prior to meeting Jaden, Jaden and Royal have been acquaintances for months. Her brother, father and boyfriend is Jaden’s friend. She quickly notices Jaden’s demeanor and voice change. She then started to ask Jaden questions and it has been revealed that Jaden has been talking to James. She then decided to help Jaden gain his memory back and bring him to the car show at Tequilalas. He has no idea on who everyone is and where he is. Jaden was discharged soon after and constantly had therapy sessions with William Thatch and Jonathan.

On his last therapy session with William Thatch, it has been shown and revealed that James has been living as Jaden for the past year and James believed he was the actual core persona of Jaden. James advised William that Jaden is still not active due to his brain injury and the lack of memories Jaden have now. He also told Jaden that Charlie has been more active and been awake and it’s not Jaden. Furthering the conversation, James revealed that he is just a delusion and hallucinations of Jaden’s mental awareness and informational keep. Charlie is similar but in a way that is in a bad consciousness.

William Thatch and Jaden did take a trips to the beach and they exchanged words. Jaden talked William in his James persona that he is very regretful for what happened to Jessie while believing William is Jessie. Then Jaden snapped out of the delusion and dozed out. Jaden’s core self showed and was scared, confused and paranoid. He was having panic attack and James persona kicked in. He threatened William to not tell them about what happened to Jaden’s mother or twin and William drove Jaden to pillbox.

Even though Jaden didn't understand Mr. Smiley's vision, he wants to help him complete it. He entrusted Mr. Smiley with a ticket with 4 numbers in the back.
