In the first episode of Mission Impossible's seventh and final season, we are introduced to Mimi Davis (played by Barbara Anderson) an ex-con who is going to help the IMF take down her ex-boyfriend and his boss, who are doing all sorts of naughty things in New Orleans. Mimi mentioned to the team that for the 4 years that she was in prison, the ex-boyfriend never visited her. Anyhow, Mimi and the IMF take down her ex-boyfriend and his boss, Mimi gets off parole because she helped the IMF, and Jim asks her if she'd like to be an IMF Agent. Mimi says yes and her criminal past is never mentioned again. Mimi appears in 7 episodes of season seven.
Ever since I first saw Mimi in that episode (I believe that it's called Break) I've been trying to figure out what Mimi did that landed her in prison for 4 years. So I thought that we should make a game of it. Please respond and let your fellow Honorary IMF Agents know what YOU think Mimi did. Let the games begin!😎🎇🎊🎉

I'm going to start this off by guessing that Mimi was caught holding money from her ex-boyfriend's boss's illegal betting operations.

To my fellow Honorary IMF Agents: Could we please have some wild and imaginative guesses on the reason why Mimi went to prison? Not only am I waiting to hear your answers, but The Secretary is interested in your responses as well (SUBTLE HINT)

Another SUBTLE HINT: The Secretary mentioned to me that he'd really like to see some creative answers to the question posted in this thread...........OR ELSE

As someone who is more of a Trekkie than an IMFer, I would assume she spent some time in jail for going on a murderous rampage in an attempt to protect her father's secret identity.
She apparently got an early parole.

@sukhisoo: Finally, a post from someone other than me! 🎉 Thanks for your imaginative theory. After all, if Barbara Anderson did that once, she'd have no problem about doing it again.

I'm STILL waiting to get some imaginative responses as to find out why Mimi was sent to prison before she met Jim Phelps and the rest of the Impossible Missions Force, folks. Please don't make me have to get The Secretary to intervene, okay?

I don’t believe Mimi Davis was ever in prison. That was just a cover story. Mimi was in a program very similar to (but not exactly the same as) Witness Protection. She was a deep-cover operative-for-hire by a super-secret private company who contracts with many different agencies, the IMF among them.
She had to keep changing her identities in order to keep herself safe. In another life, she was also known as Eve Whitfield who worked several successful homicide cases for the chief of detectives at the San Francisco Police Department.
Her birth name was Kathy “Candy” Kane, a distant cousin of well-known billionaire, philanthropist Bruce Wayne. After she left her stint with IMF fighting “the syndicate” she was hired by the Democratic National Committee just after the Watergate burglary happened. Candy was hired to find out what the Watergate burglars were really after.
Rumor has it, that she became too personally involved in her investigation. She met and fell in love with one of the key Watergate figures and married him. She left her secret life behind. To this day, no one really knows who or where she is.

@cinna_mini_me: FINALLY an answer worthy of the tmdb Mission Impossible page! I think that it kinda sorta answers the question beautifully! The Secretary was impressed as well, cinna_mini_me. Don't be Such A Stranger!

Thanks Maria! Glad you liked it. Took me a few weeks to come up with that. I put everything I had into it. Wish I could come up with something as creative, on short notice!

Regarding cinna_mini_me's secret identity being exposed, as Sgt. Schulz from Hogan's Heros would say, "I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing!" 😉
