I'm not sure, cause they found him playing solo in some shit bar after not leaving the state like he was supposed to ("I'm on parole"). The question is how did they know he was there? I don't recall if they explained that, did they?
They randomly ran into him. So I suppose that could rule out him being a plant...but if the writers are clever, I'm sure they could come up with something. They didnt know he was there. He just happened to be playing when they showed up.
They're also glossing over how Jaime's ex-campaign manager is preggars with his kid. No mention of that for a while.
The less we have to deal with Jamie, the better. Who cares.
At the end, when they had the dad strung up I was hoping the two that got trampled would get the opportunity to get a few licks in. Maybe an eyeball gouge, kick to the nuts.. I mean, something.
