Agreed. Kim knows Jimmy, and she knows Chuck, and she's smart. She read the situation, put the story together, and instinctively knew how to play it.

It's interesting what they (the writers) did with that reveal last week. Rather than turning Hamlin from a cartoonish douchebag into a saint, and Chuck from sympathetic figure into Dr Evil, what they've done instead is to make both characters more nuanced, to the betterment of the show.

I got a new one recently. Cheap too — guy needed the money..

You'll find Clan McStinkybritches to be a formidable foe, laddie. So bring it on. But! Only if ye be men of valour — If you do doubt your courage or your strength, come not, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, stinky britches!

Not a van, silly.

"Gomey, on the other hand, looks evil with that mustache."

Yeah, it was definitely the JHP round. Which is why I was surprised at the mess it made. I thought hollow-points' whole point* was to not make a big exit wound, expending all their energy into the target.
