A few small things you might have missed: In the cold open at the end, Chuck's metronome is no longer in sync, it's slightly off. That happened after Chuck got the news that despite his efforts, Jimmy is still thriving as a lawyer. I like to think that the metronome isn't actually out of sync, that Chuck just imagines it is, but it symbolizes the same thing: Jimmy being a lawyer, and especially one that gets taken seriously by his peers, is like a thorn in Chuck's side, it tilts his whole life off-kilter. Without it really being a spoiler, I can tell you: pay attention to Chuck whenever Jimmy does something morally wrong, or questionable (or pay attention to Chuck whenever he finds out about it). It usually worsens his symptoms of his supposed illness and makes him physically react. Secondly, another fairly obvious but effective use of symbolism: Jimmy's cup not fitting in his new car. It's like his old life, the messy, imperfect life that he still kinda loves (like that cup) doesn't fit into this new life he has chosen. It doesn't really fit Jimmy as a whole. This kind of symbolism is everywhere in these episodes if you start paying attention to it. Third, Kim is absolutely right, Jimmy had basically no reason to do this favor for Mike and Dan, so why did he do it? He got the call from Mike right after his encounter with Chuck, where Chuck said he was there to "bear witness", basically to be there (and possibly point out) when Jimmy starts being Slippin' Jimmy in his new job which, remember, Chuck views as inevitable. But the endless irony is of course, that Chuck never believing in Jimmy, that he could be better, could be more, is exactly what keeps Jimmy doing it over and over again. By again not receiving approval from his older brother but learning he's just there to see Jimmy screw up, Jimmy thinks "well fuck it, I might as well be Slippin' Jimmy", you can see his almost teenager-like defiance and spite in him when he accepts the offer.And of course he enjoys these shenanigans, but if Chuck had said something else, that he was proud of Jimmy for straightening out and taking this opportunity with Davis & Main seriously (which he had been doing up until then), I'm quite certain,

I'm honestly a little surprised you didn't laugh as hard as I did during the "squat cobbler" scene; first time I saw this episode I thought Jimmy was gonna go some WILD direction I wasn't ready to even hear. Definitely wasn't Jimmy in the room in that scene; that was Saul Goodman. See you in EP 3!
