The meltdown was less of Jimmy being an emotional person, and more of a bunch of things piling on top of each other:


 * As mentioned in his confessional after the Brendyn scene, Jimmy is aware that he has trust issues. Brendyn just spent that chat with him (start of Makhuwa day 20) trying to turn Jimmy against, and distrust Ricki, who then flipped everything around on Brendyn in what would have been within 2 hours.


 * Plus, Jimmy was the one that Penelope ultimately ended up confiding in before she went home. So not only did they have somewhat of a bond, but Jimmy saw the full effects of what those lies did to her psyche.

So yeah, at the start of that conversation with Ricki, he was already on edge, and with this bombshell dropping, given everything that happened, his emotions just boiled over. Everyone has their breaking point, and this just happened to be his.
