i think i remember he dropped her off at the house w/ balloons and mom was waiting at door?
Yeah different actress and she was in a few seconds of one episode of Breaking Bad.

Him getting the job taking stickers can't come last or there's no way he'd have known Saul who owed him the favor.
Saul and the "present" shit happens way later in Mike's ABQ story. So yeah, lanx is right.

Didn't realize they were bouncing all around time wise but that actually makes a lot more sense

I agree but I'm not sure it's that much later, perhaps months. The only part of that episode that was 'present' was the interrogation scenes with Saul.
Pretty sure the discussion with the daughter about calling the cops and then his admission to being dirty is present day triggered by the notes in the homicide guys notebook.

That's right, I forgot about the notepad. It makes sense that eventually causes him to reconcile with her and develop a relationship with his granddauther.

When you're talking about mystery money possibly from a dirty cop I'd say $6k is enough to have a concern over

how was it cheap? if he got 6k, then presumably, it was a 3way 20k take from some drug dealer raid or scam or protection racket(i think it was protection) or something, before those 2 decided, "naw, he gotta die"
watching lots of cop movies, it seems to be that, it's not about the lump sum, but about the constant monthly money, sorta like when mikes lawyer put all that monthly money into the vaults.

Great episode of what's becoming a great show. I think it's perfect for people who didn't watch BB, too, because through a side character it starts taking the show to the next deepest level of drama/conflict and prepares viewers for the fact that the world/events/people this show is about can be pretty serious and dark. We've had hints of it, but so far it's all been through Saul's story, as such, so it's had a charm and fun to it as well. Those familiar with Breaking Bad understood the gravity of scenes with Mike at the parking booth. And now new viewers get that too.
Basically, Saul was a great tool to lighten the often heavy mood in Breaking Bad, and now Mike will be a great tool to provide weight to Better Call Saul which has been awesomely charming and fun. Great use of contrast in both shows to keep them feeling balanced, and it's only going to make Saul even more enjoyable as a character and show, I think.

I get that. It was Quineloe saying that 6k isn't a lot of money to be worried about. I'm saying that if you think that, then he compromised his morals on the cheap. You only get one shot at being unblemished.

If you think about it, he didn't compromise his morals for the money at all. He did it because Mike convinced Matt he knew dirty cops because he was one and the only way to appease the other dirty cops and not end up dead was to look like you were in on it.
You only get one shot to be unblemished, so you should try to extort dirty cops or criminals for more money? Is that what people are thinking?
Matty wasn't trying to be dirty, he was trying to not get killed for being clean.
I don't get why this is being discussed, I guess.
Not to mention, that's plenty of money for a murdered cop's widow to get worried and call the cops because she just found 6k cash hidden in a family suitcase after they'd been living paycheck to paycheck.
