Terrorized a widow? Come off it. Linda had earlier told him to drop all the pretence and say what he was thinking. So when Luisa asked him why Linda had such a problem with him, Jim said she'd have to ask her, ask her about Frank Carson's dressingroom. That's not terrorizing a widow, and how on earth was he to anticipate that Linda would stage a massive over-reaction to it all?

Jim could have explained to the other housemates long before in order to put his own spin on it all, and he didn't - out of consideration to Linda's feelings and his respect for the dead. There was nothing wrong with telling Luisa to ask Linda. Linda could choose to brush it off, or explain as she liked.

It was not surprising that after she'd created such a ridiculous rumpus, and got everyone onto her side against Jim, she was sitting happily in bed bitching about something else a short time later.
