Howard is the true hero of the show and the show will end with Howard throwing bowling balls at Jimmy in Cinnabon in Minnesota, yelling I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS

they put mike on timeout, but i guess Gus or Juarez Bros was/were watching him all this time because it looks like somebody saved him and he's in Mexico all bandaged up. maybe the Mexininja

Why did Kim want to get off the case with the guy who won't vacate his property?

All I know is if I get into some shit I want Saul as my lawyer.
yea but saul only goes the extra mile for his special clients

he's doing all this for the old guy, obviously to appease kim

he went and wrote and sent all those letters for huel cuz, thats his homie

everybody else is just a $$$ cheque in his eyes.

Just a complete guess, but I think she saw that Kevin's whole company logo was ripped off of something else, she could have Jimmy go on the offensive and sue on behalf of the original artist.

i was thinking something like that too. guys on the BCS reddit also theorize thats the case. possibly the artwork in the guy's house was used without copyright for the corporate logo? is that leverage? its weird though that the mesa verde guy is taking all this so personally. does he want that call center or does he just want to fuck over that old dude?

BTW did anyone notice the contractor was played by John Dimaggio (Bender?) i sure didnt.

also the reddit autists are saying that Mesa Verde is later Mesa Credit Union in BB, but has no horse logo. maybe they read too much into the name?

a credit union vs. a bank and trust is way different

i mean just cuz it has mesa, doesn't mean it's the same

This whole thing is going too far. Who's paying Jimmy while he fucks around with this old man for weeks on end? What about his 45 other clients? Did he just drop all of them to work for this guy pro bono for a month? Why is the Mesa Verde guy not taking Kim off of the job with an obvious conflict of interest, or firing her for it which is what would actually be appropriate? What possible happy ending is there for the old man? He gets to keep renting from a company that hates his guts and will probably fuck him over at every opportunity from now on? If he somehow winds up owning the land because reasons that is going to just be ridiculous. Jimmy's shenanigans are fun but the whole thing is just getting silly.

I'm also having a hard time with Mike's storyline just because Jonathan Banks is fucking 73 years old now. It's painfully obvious that he's 10 years older than he was in Breaking Bad, where he was already borderline too old to be a badass. All the close ups of his face covered in age spots just makes it hard to suspend disbelief.

kim makes enough for them to be comfortable in that apt, jimmy is just trying to hustle to get jump start a future w/ kim, savings/house etc.

and yea, since this is what kim wants, jimmy will drop everything for this weird ass revenge porn

the whole point of jimmy was to force "kevin" into building on the otherside and let the old man live there and prevent any more bad publicity

Bank guy can't fire Kim because he didn't hire her, he hired Schweikart and Cokely, who themselves hired Kim. He can only ask Schweikart to take her off the job.

kim gave kevin the option to have another lead on it, but he declined and wanted kim to stay on actually.

It's more likely that Kim has proven herself to Mesa Verde time and time again - hence why he says he wants the best in the business on it. Mesa Verde don't suspect her of working with Jimmy, but her boss does

Everybody on TV is always the "best in the business". Maybe she is some amazing superlawyer, but if I had a lawyer who had tried to get me to change my plan and I said no and then her boyfriend was suddenly representing the other side and costing me thousands of dollars fucking with me, I'd be in the market for a new lawyer.
