Seeing how they're emphasising howard being desperate for fresh blood to help run his firm, I wonder if the Kim ends up there when the inevitable fall happens with Mesa Verde.

Kim's been looking :flabbynsick: this season but she was MILFy this episode.

Kim is truly an idiot . She can’t separate work from life. She works so hard to become a successful lawyer and ruins it to be like Saul. He is a cancer that taste good. No matter how bad he is , you just keep eating till it’s too late. This episode proved what a piece of shyt Jimmy truly is. He enables Kim to destroy her career while appearing to care.
Walt say through him from the very start but kept using him while he learned the drug game.

Kim is more like Saul than she want to believe. That old guy when she told that sob story about her own upbringing saw right through her. Her boss right now seeing right through her. Kim herself was at a crossroads of who she wants to be, and Saul gave her an out but she low-key wants to be like him. I mean she went to watch him perform at court and saw the shyt that is unethical that he could pull off and she wants that and is all in. So, we can agree Saul is a piece of shyt, he supposed to evolved to become that, but Kim still had a CHOICE.

I would not be surprised if this bites SAUL in the ass and Kim fuccks him over and not the other way around.

I think that's intentional. Because Kim at any point never have that type of outburst ever in public. But as we long knew, she's just as bad in scamming people as Saul. Those pictures and her smirk right before all of that hints that she's just doing an act. Also that foreshadowed when she had the meeting with Mesa Verde the first time where she told them she's a conflict of interest. They WANT all of this to go as we seen it going.

IT WAS DEFINITELY AN ACT
BUT NOT A PRE PLANNED ONE IMO.

I FELT HER FINDING SOMETHING IN THOSE PICS
CAUSED THE "OUTBURST", BECAUSE SHE DIDNT WANT TO GET PULLED FROM THE CASE
WHEN THEYRE SO CLOSE TO COMING OUT ON TOP.

WAS SHE REALLY EXPECTING RICH TO PULL HER OFF THE CASE,
SO SHE HAD THIS OUTBURST READY?

SHE TRIED TO GET HIM TO RECONSIDER MULTIPLE TIMES INSIDE HER OFFICE...
IF HE DOES, THE PUBLIC OUTBURST NEVER HAPPENS.

IT FELT LIKE A LAST DITCH ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE CASE,
WHILE TRYING TO ACT APPALLED IN FRONT OF OTHERS.

The Mexican woman giving Mike the phone charger is symbolic to his situation with Gus.

Making things harder when they really don't have to be...when you have someone right there to help you.

As another poster stated, this is when Mike starts letting go of his burdens and goes all in for Gus.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gus went through a similar phase after Max was killed, which is why he may be able to relate to Mike's grief.

Man, they really added some layers to Mike and Gus' partnership. It wasn't as neatly packaged and simple as I thought it would be. At one point, I figured it was all gravy between them, but what's going on now is going to solidify Mike's loyalty

Interesting notes:

Last episode was giving some clarity with the ice cream/ant metaphor. In this episode, Kim says that the day before was bad, but today she's going to fix it. She sees the shattered beer bottles on the ground and proceeds to clean it up despite Saul telling her to leave it there. That's the biggest contrasts between Kim and Saul, Kim still is trying to clean up her mess both literally and metaphorically whereas Saul just accept the mess as it that he created. That's what the ice cream metaphor comes into play, because Saul sees the ice cream and it is swarming with ants destroying the ice cream and instead of cleaning it up he allow it to be left alone and it be swarming with ants. Saul is the type who will create a mess and allow it to manifest into chaos eventually. Kim is resisting hard not to be part of that manifestation of Saul, but eventually she relents. I am concern how bad this may end up for her.

At this point I'm really enjoying al the nuances of this show possibly more than BrBa. BrBa was incredibly nuanced but I think this is even moreso. I've never seen a show that rewards paying attention quite as much as this one. If they stick the landing then Vince G and Peter G might be able to say they made 2 of the top 3-5 all time best TV shows.

BCS definitely has top 3-5 potential right now.
