My interpretation is that it's not that they did Howard a favour; it's that they trusted his judgment. That's why he's so mad at Kim. She convinced Howard to recommend Jimmy. D&M took Jimmy on based largely on Howard's recommendation.

I think Mike is going to try to work for them so he can burn them from within. I suspect this is how he'll meet Gus, and together they'll break away from Hector's crew and make their own way (with revenge being on both their minds, even though neither he nor Gus will make that explicit).

Mike is not someone who allows himself to be exploited. Also others have said, Mike's decision to help Stacey is just that—a decision. Having said that, Mike's only weakness is Kaylee; so I suppose if he is being taken advantage of, the reason for his "blindness" is in that devotion to his grand-daughter.

That's not necessarily true. People with mental disorders sometimes get better when their supposed problem is acknowledged.

It's not that she can't say that they're together, it's that she can't say that they're dating. "I mean we're already d—eh…." she says, trailing off; because it's more complicated than that between the two of them.

She probably went to law school on her own dime while working in the mailroom. Near the end of her course she was picked up by HHM, who saw potential in her and offered to loan her the money for the rest of her fees.

He didn't want to have to give up the bonus, but eventually firing Jimmy became the lesser of two evils.

This scam has been brought to you by Slippin' Jimmy.

For what it's worth, the Better Call Saul podcast had most people (writers, editors, etc.) saying she's conning him, but Vince Gilligan was a bit more on the "PTSD" bandwagon. This suggests the story is still open to interpretation and won't be resolved this year.

I notice nobody saw fit to point out how condescending Kim was when she was "Kimsplaining" why fabricating evidence is wrong. Sometimes people just are stupid and need things set straight to them.

I bought that she would do it as a joint solo venture. I would not have bought a straight-up partnership.

That scene was not there to show us that Jimmy stole $15,000; it was there to show us a seminal moment in his life—the realization that there are "wolves and sheep". The most likely answer at the moment is that Jimmy stole all that money, but it is by no means conclusive.

How many people really thought he was outright lying? I was pretty sure he was telling the truth (as he saw it), but that perhaps that money went missing in a different way—one that Jimmy and Chuck's dad never admitted to.

I was hoping they'd show Jimmy open the register and look at the money, then cut to black. I liked the ambiguity of not knowing for sure where he pilfered that cash from his dad. Now I know he could still have only done it that one time, but the implication is that he did take the $15,000 that went missing.

He had a thing for colorful shirts even in season 1. When he's buying the Howard Hamlin lookalike suit, he smiles wistfully at a bright orange suit shirt.

It must have sucked for Jimmy to be working for Walt near the end there. Poisoning kids is not in his wheelhouse, no matter how "colorful" he gets.

It does require that, unless (shock-horror) Saul was lying to Walt!

Given the very low death count on this show, I'm gonna go with disbarred at the very worst. But I honestly don't think such a predictable outcome will happen on this show.

I think you're mistaking "communication" for "information."

Would you really call a hand tremor "communication" though?
