He gets a call from Lady Friend whose name, it turns out, is Kim ( Rhea Seahorn). In the morning, Jimmy is back to his noble public defense duties– where else?– in the courthouse bathroom. He warns the Kettlemans that their whole family is in danger. Turns out, the paper towel roll is a voice disguiser. He drives to a payphone, and calls the Kettleman house– we are forced to endure the Kettleman’s excruciating Team Kettleman voice mail not once but twice. He unrolls an entire paper towel roll in order to get to the cardboard center and then wraps a piece of tissue paper around it. Jimmy can’t sleep so he decides to do a little arts and crafts. Jimmy lets it slip to Lady that Kettleman and his family might be in danger, but then (unconvincingly) attempts to backtrack. Kettleman, if we recall, is the man whom Nacho plans to scheme.

Turns out, Lady Friend is a lawyer as well, working on that big Kettleman case which, according to Jimmy, Lady and her boss stole right from under him. I’m not talking dirty to you,” the Lady Friend on the other end of the line says.Ĭlearly Jimmy’s reputation proceeds him. He does cave and make a call, though not to Nacho. Well, we know how true that turns out to be.īack in the present, said antics are tempting Jimmy via that phone number which Nacho ( Michael Mando) left for him, were he ever to change his mind and join “the game.” Jimmy is desperate, clearly, and vows to give up all the sketchy antics which landed him in the slammer.

“Jimmy, if I do this, do not make a fool out of me,” Chuck says. However, now that he’s found himself in a little pickle called “prison,” he called to mommy who called to the elder son to bail him out. Turns out, Jimmy hasn’t spoken to Chuck or the rest of the family in five years. “I need you to make this whole thing go poof,” Jimmy says to him. He’s facing potential sex offender charges. Astonishingly, Jimmy bought the switch, but was uninterested in the letter nonetheless, just as I am with the whole Chuck/HHM storyline which I dearly wish we’d seen the back of by now.He’s paying brother Jimmy a visit…in jail. The episode closed out with Kim delivering Chuck’s final letter to Jimmy, only she rewrote it and made it vastly more positive. Did she smell the prospect of criminality? Perhaps how it might be a sweet scent to boyfriend Jimmy? Daunted by the scale o ambition was the reason she gave the company’s CEO for her expression, but something else was definitely going on here. Shown miniature models of a range of banks client Mesa Verde proposes to build Kim looked incredibly fearful. In last week’s review I mentioned how the show likes to keep its cards close to its chest, but this time around we were left completely in the dark. If I didn’t have such confidence in showrunners Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan, I’d worry they have no real plan for Kim Wexler in season 4. It was a bizarre way to kick off the crooked Jimmy/Saul era, a small-fry heist even by Better Call Saul‘s low-key standards.

Like Jesse Pinkman ahead of him, Nacho is learning the extent of pain and peril that comes with tying one’s colours to the mast of the good ship Fring. The ruse seemed to work on the Cousins, who were dispatched to collect Nacho, one of them even providing him with a blood transfusion. It was all in the interests of shifting responsibility for a drive-by and retaining Nacho’s status as a mole in the cartel for Gus Fring, but so elaborate and brutal that Nacho must have considered whether a simple dunking in a barrel of acid would have been preferential, Gus’s usual solution to any and all problems. It was largely played for laughs, but there was no humour to be found in BCS’ take on the tactic this week, with Nacho being shot at point-blank range in both the arm and abdomen before being left to bake in the desert for several hours. Sopranos fans may recall a rapper taking a bullet to “the fleshy part of the thigh” from one of Tony’s crew in order to fake an attempted hit in the show’s final season.
