V, as for why Jimmy runs the commercial without telling Cliff.. he believes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission. He believed he was right, that his ad would work and get them lots of new clients, and they would see that he made the right decision, and they would tut-tut about approval, but he would get away with it. He didn't understand the way it works in those kind of law firms, where doing things the right way requires approval above all else, regardless of intent or results, and where things like advertising must be done a certain way, even if those kind of ads don't work.

When you said "he's fighting with himself: should he do it the right way, or the Jimmy way?" that struck a chord with me. I feel like that could almost be a tag-line for the show. He wants to do it properly. He knows he should. He doesn't like letting Kim down. But... he saw their old ad. He knows they won't like his more audacious one and he does genuinely want to help the Sandpiper residents and he's confident his ad will work if shown; so he goes for the "Jimmy way" and decides to try and worm his way out of it... again. As for the solicitation scene with Chuck, Chuck wasn't necessarily being cruel towards Jimmy. He knows him. He knows 24 clients from 1 response is suspicious and that S&C (Sandpiper's lawyers) will also see that. As Chuck says, the rules of solicitation were practically made to protect the elderly and Jimmy's Amarillo scheme was certainly dubious in its ethicality. Sure Chuck snobbishly judges Jimmy and thinks lowly of him, but it's not as if it's totally unfounded. He's often right about his nefariousness. I think Stacey (Mike's step-daughter) is paranoid after losing her husband. Some have suggested that she's trying to con Mike to get money out of him. The producers have said that that's not where they were going but that they don't say it definitively either way.

*I meant daughter-in-law for Stacey, not step-daughter *facepalm*
