I told you guys the best scenes are when Jimmy and Chuck come to blows, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed when it happened this episode. Chuck knows Jimmy all too well, and I actually feel bad for Chuck right now. A lot of people feel he’s a manipulative asshole, but I really think this episode proves he’s just a smart, by the books guy who is burdened by Jimmy’s shadiness. We ALL know Jimmy stabbed Chuck in the back, and even if Chuck was an asshole in not believing in Jimmy when Jimmy passed the Bar, he didn’t deserve what Jimmy did to him. Now, it looks like Jimmy’s shady dealings have physically gotten Chuck hurt. I audibly gasped when Chuck fainted and hit the side of his head against the counter at the photocopy shop; I wasn’t expecting that at all and neither was Jimmy. At this point, signs are pointing more and more toward Jimmy more or less killing his brother, maybe more so on a figurative level than a physical one. For all we know Chuck could end up with brain damage after this, but I think it’s certain that Chuck is not going to have much of a life by the time this series is over.
Mike definitely fucked up and didn’t think a good samaritan would end up getting caught up with Hector, and now Mike has indirectly put blood on his hands, blood he didn’t want ever since he left Philadelphia.
Good riddance, Chuck, you meddling bitch. RIP good Samaritan. That’s why no one stopped to help that dude on the road. They didn’t want an angry brown person to stabbeth them.

Incredible episode. Does Kim’s turning of a blind eye to Jimmy’s forgery mean much, considering the emphasis she made on not being a fan of Jimmy already falsifying evidence? Also, I like how the writers are able to shift your pity for characters from episode to episode. I’ve felt bad for Jimmy. I’ve felt bad for Chuck. I’ve felt bad for Hamlin. So on and so forth.
I actually gained respect for Kim. Didn’t think it was possible. It’s a show though, I know a real woman would never leave a guaranteed bread and butter to take a big risk. I liked how she white knighted Jimmy though.
After what chuck did to Jimmy anything he gets in life is too good for him
What Chuck did to him? Not hire him because Chuck was afraid Jimmy would end up doing exactly what he’s doing now? The way he delivered it may have been assholish, but his reasoning was not unfounded. Did he really want to take the risk of fucking up his company’s reputation because Jimmy can’t control his urges? Not hiring someone verses purposefully sabotaging someone’s hard work seems like a no brainer as to which one is worse. I don’t even like Chuck, but I can understand where he was coming from.
Granted, he didn’t deserve his head cracked, but his ego is just off the charts. I understand his point of view, but he never even gave his brother ONE chance to earn some respect. His obstinacy frustrates me and lowers my respect of him, regardless of his airtight morals and legal acumen. Still, for his and Jimmy’s sake, I hope he pulls through.
I like Kim even more for not ratting out Jimmy. The sacrifice he made for her outweighed the legal implications, and she couldn’t bear the thought of ruining Jimmy’s life just to sate Chuck’s need for revenge “justice”.
Mike’s half-measured approach got an innocent Good Samaritan killed. I’m sure this marks a turning point for him and his on-the-fence philosophy. Which just reminds me, his daughter-in-law sorta resembles Lydia, which is probably why Mike pitied her- being a single mom and all… even though she was a stone cold bitch. How dat ricin latte taste?
Oh and I’m worried the ginger copy/print employee will feel guilty for what happened to Chuck and fess up. They say gingers have no souls, but maybe…
I feel like y’all that hate Chuck for not giving Jimmy a chance haven’t dealt with family members like Jimmy, so I can definitely understand where Chuck is coming from in a lot of this. He’s certainly stuck up and a hard ass about it, but it’s not like any of it is unfounded.
I have dealt with shitty siblings, but never one who actually went out of his way to get a degree and do something honest. If I had a sibling do that, I would give MAD respect.
It was real enough for him to pass the New Mexico bar exam. You ever seen someone prepare for the bar? It’s not easy, no matter what state you live in. Many, if not all, of them require you to finish law school. If he was able to do all of that, he sure as fuck earned it.
Well I mean Chuck’s main reason for not wanting to hire Jimmy at HHM was because of Jimmy’s super shady, swindling past. Jimmy as a lawyer is like giving a child a machinegun, and Chuck wasn’t exactly wrong in that regard. Chuck’s biggest fuckup is pretty much not believing in Jimmy when Jimmy was honestly trying to turn things around, but that’s typical dramatic irony.
Oh shit its finally happened, in next weeks episode we should be seeing satsui no hado Jimmy Saul. Mike reconfirmed 11/10, rips off the cartel just outta principle then buys random niggas a drink at the bar afterwards.
With Jimmy still being very concerned about his brother and his relationship with Kim, he’s definitely not going to be Saul next episode or possibly even next season.
