The scene with Howard was basically the greatest thing ever.

He may be alive! We shall see.

The best part of this episode is the best part of all the truly great episodes this season:

I so *wanted* to feel sorry for Chuck.

Nope. If you don't see it, you're a dick. Blocked.

Sort of. Like, Chuck had been using Howard as his villain-by-proxy for awhile. Now on the stand Howard is again using the same bullshit excuse he had to sell to Jimmy about why he didn't hire him, but Kim called out the bullshit. So now Howard has no reason to pretend he was the bad guy anymore, and it's kind of a…

He's also a bit relieved, I think, that his casting as the bad guy is finally over.

I can see that.

Okay, being in the drug trade that'll happen.

Frankly, I don't think that dynamic is on this show at all. Not every relationship in "Breaking Bad" needs to be paralleled in "Better Call Saul".

No, but they do make it harder to stay straight or turn, especially if you've nodded off and aren't paying close attention.

She REALLY needs to drop Jimmy. Really really, really. Like, yesterday.

To be fair, it does provide a bit more foreshadowing that a car that shitty would be more prone to an accident.

So, basically what I said, only very slightly more nuanced.

No, we don't. Literally all he says is "It wasn't me! It was Ignacio!"

How he ended it was brilliant because now even if Howard suspects and asks her if Jimmy told her to do it she'll honestly answer "No he didn't! He just told me to listen to my heart!" It's evil genius.

It was reminiscent of that scene with the ladies on the bus when he was with Davis and Main - if he is ever investigated for it it's very possible Jimmy could sell that he wasn't *technically* soliciting, but man did that violate the spirit of the law.

How much of a piece of shit is Kim's car anyway? I mean holy crap she was on flat ground in that first scene. MY shitty car that once got stuck in ankle deep snow could have worked through that.

I don't know if that crossed the line into advice - just explaining the contract accurately. He never comes out and tells her directly what she should do. In the cookie scene he comes quite close but ultimately when she leans towards no instead of giving her direct legal advice he ruins her life and manipulates her -…

Really? I thought he owned it pretty thoroughly.
