Wait, can Jimmy just spin this to say the confession still isn't real? Like, if my brother pretended to have a mental breakdown as a con job because he was so convinced that he couldn't have made The Easiest Mistake in the World, then I'd be pretty pissed off too. He even calls the tape "nothing."

I mean yeah he did all that other stuff, but I just want Kim to be safe.

He could try, but it would be really really difficult. Basically impossible to convince a jury. Unless you tip the scales a bit.

Everyone theorizing that Jimmy's final transformation into Saul would be catalyzed by him representing himself in an impossible case and winning an acquittal with his Slippin' Jimmy superpowers looks to have been right on the money.

He still can, but he could also very easily spend some time in jail and get disbarred for B&E or assault just for that meltdown

It looks like he's finally starting to regret the lengths he's gone to to teach Jimmy a lesson, though. With the prospect of Jimmy actually, literally going to jail and having his entire life ruined because of him becoming a concrete reality, I think even Chuck is realizing that everything that's happened between them isn't worth losing his brother's love forever. I suspect it's too late, though. That would be some tragic irony: Chuck actually going through some introspection and realizing he was *gasp* wrong for once, but Jimmy being forced so far into the Saul persona as a result of what Chuck did that their relationship is beyond repairing.

Chuck doesn't regret poo poo, except for marrying Rebecca, who he should have known would be charmed by his brother just like everyone else.

I think people's pathological hatred for Chuck (who is really more of a pitiable wretch than a contemptible villain) is clouding their ability to actually watch the show. Chuck was clearly pretty genuinely emotionally affected by what Jimmy was saying about "destroying our family" during his outburst. I don't think Chuck is going to have a sudden and immediate come-to-Jesus moment by next episode or anything, but it's impossible to miss how Michael McKean plays that scene if you watch it with a clear head.

This reminds me of the people back when Breaking Bad was airing who were so consumed with hatred for Walt that they were completely incapable of understanding the key point that Walt genuinely cared about Jesse (in his own admittedly hosed up way), and so the showrunners literally had to have Hank of all characters point this obvious fact out so people would understand it.

My new prediction is that Jimmy is going to gently caress Chuck's poo poo up so badly in court that he has to change his name so he isn't associated with his brother. Just tell the jury that even AFTER that poo poo he pulled with HHM while you were taking care of him for his imaginary brain problem when you could have had him committed, you went to his house after he collapsed and made sure he made it through the night okay, and then he used that moment to say that's when you committed a complex forgery scheme, because the alternative would be that he made a mistake and he couldn't accept that, so he pretended to have a mental breakdown to get you to "confess," which was part one of a scheme where part two was scaring the poo poo out of the mailroom kid who had taken over the whole "making sure his broke brain rear end has groceries" thing.
There is no need for the confession to be genuine for Jimmy's meltdown to be explained. Everything is perfectly under control... FOR SAUL GOODMAN.

I think they didn't do the bag handoff because Jimmy is comically bad at discreetly watching someone.

Like Walt, Chuck is a miserable creature who thinks he "knows" the most important person in his life when he really loving doesn't, at all, whether it's "Of course Jesse's working with Nazis!" or "He's gonna sneak in through the cover of darkness like a thoughtful criminal mind, and not barge in for a confrontation because I emotionally manipulated him in yet another horrifying way."

Yeah, Jimmy stuck out like a sore thumb and my take while watching was that Gus had some subtle way of telling his man to cancel the handoff.

I think I disagree with the earlier commenter who said that Jimmy should be better at the spy thing, being a con artist. Jimmy is excellent at drawing attention to himself and weaving tall tales, he's no good at the kind of patience and unobtrusiveness required in Mike-style gigs.

Two questions

1. Why is a Mexican chicken fast food place that busy at 7:30 in the morning

and

2. I forget, have Jimmy and Kimmy banged


also it makes BB a little weird that Mike is so loyal to Gus and against Saul when he was with Saul before he even knew Gus.

Well, Mike and Saul seem to have a strained professional relationship at the best of times (just look at the scene after Jimmy leaves Pollos), and their temperments are wildly incompatible.
