Jase arrived in Walford in search of his estranged son, Jay Brown, on 19 July, 2007. He appeared to flirt with Honey Mitchell, making an early enemy of her husband Billy. When Billy found Jase's letter regarding visitation to a probation office, he told the community that Jase was a criminal, causing them to shun him. When Jay discovered his father had been in prison, he reacted badly and was arrested for carving "LIAR" into a bus shelter, referring to Jase's lies about where he had been all his life. Despite the initial animosity, Jase and Jay began to bond.

During October 2007, Jase met with Terry Bates, the leader of a gang of football hooligans, who looked after Jase when he was a teenager. It was Jase's involvement with the gang that had lead to his imprisonment years earlier. Jase no longer wanted to be part of the gang, as he now had a son to look after. Terry was angry about his decision and made various threats to get him to reconsider. Jase would not and, in November 2007, Terry's gang raided The Queen Victoria public house looking for him. Jase was dragged into the cellar and beaten. Meanwhile, a nine-month pregnant Honey Mitchell called the police and was knocked over by the gang. She went into premature labour. The baby she gave birth to appeared to be stillborn, but was eventually resuscitated by the medics. Jase swore revenge on Terry and threatened to kill him to gain his freedom, but was stopped by the intervention of Phil Mitchell, who called the police and the gang were arrested. Phil wanted repayment for his help and forced Jase to assist him in his various vendettas.

Following a brief fling with Roxy Mitchell, Jase cultivated a more serious relationship with Dawn Swann, whom he proposed to on 6 June 2008. He unkowingly began working for May Wright, the woman who had attempted to abduct Dawn's daughter, Summer, in 2007. A violent confrontation occurred when May tried to once again abscond with Summer and then caused a gas explosion in Dawn's house; Jase saved Summer's life, catching her when she was dropped from the first floor window of the burning building. With their home burnt down and no money, Dawn began to fret over their financial future. Wanting to please Dawn, Jase took a mysterious call saying he would do "one more job for him." The next day Jase brought home a bag full of money. Dawn then set about spending the money on various things including clothes and rent money for a new flat.

Dawn's demands continued, so Jase continued to do more job's for his associate. When he came home beaten and bloodied, he was forced to admit to Dawn that he was once again working for Terry Bates. Dawn was initially furious, but despite realising he was involved in criminal activity, she made no attempt to stop him as she was desperate to keep the money and get the wedding of her dreams. Jase spoke of leaving Walford to escape Terry, but Dawn then announced that they had set a date for their wedding, ensuring that Jase could not leave.

Jase cancelled his stag night in August 2008 to collect £100,000 for Terry. Jase reluctantly took Billy on as a getaway driver, revealing his intention to steal Terry's money. They agreed to split the money 60/40, however upon arriving at the location of the job, there was no money, only a note stating that Terry and his men had Jay and the job was a setup. When they arrived back at the flat in search of Jay, Jase was greeted by Terry and his men wielding baseball bats. He was stabbed in the chest by Terry. The police arrived and arrested Terry and his gang, however Jase died later in hospital. Dawn discovered his death on the day of their wedding.

On August 29, 2008, Jay identified his father's body in the mortuary. He was eventually cremated on October 7, 2008, with Jay, Dawn, Darren, Gary, Minty, Billy attending the funeral.
