The veterinary technician working at the 6666 Ranch immediately sweeps Jimmy off his feet with her no-nonsense approach and brazen honesty. As Emily casually informs Jimmy, he is "one of six single guys in [the] county under 30" — and with that, he is sold.
But before he can make the big move (and broach the topic of grabbing dinner together), Emily makes sure to give Jimmy a task he won't forget anytime soon, asking him to collect semen from a horse for her. (Which he does, by the way.)

Emily gets him to follow up on his promise and implement the previously discussed plans in Season 4, Episode 8. The romantic outing gives way to positively non-PG-friendly scenes, signaling to fans that Jimmy and Mia are officially a thing of the past.
In Season 4, Episode 9, Jimmy compares loving Emily to coming down with a bad bout of venereal disease. In all fairness, he makes the comment after she warns him that missing her is a serious condition. (That's true love for you.)

In Season 4, Episode 9, Jimmy tells Emily that he will be away because of a rodeo. The rodeo turns into something more long-term, thanks to Travis Wheatley (Taylor Sheridan), the horse trader who tells Jimmy that it's time to go home.

He promptly heads back to the Dutton Ranch, with Emily in tow. But once they step foot inside the bunkhouse in the Season 4 finale, Mia explodes, starting a fight with Emily. As Jefferson White, the actor portraying Jimmy on Yellowstone told Distractify, the conflict had quite an impact on his character.
"For Jimmy, the idea of hurting somebody, of causing somebody pain, is very difficult. Jimmy really hated to have to hurt Mia," Jefferson said. "He was put in a position where he really had to choose between Mia and Emily. The most merciful thing was to be honest. The most merciful thing was to express exactly how he felt, which was that his future is with Emily."
