An episode in which surprisingly little happens. Kim gets, then looses a major client and Jimmy seems to be sabotaging the account Chuck has take,.
Jimmy uses two of his clients, along with a registered sex offender, to perpetrate a ruse at a U.S. Air Force base in order to gain access to the B-29 Fifi for video footage to be used in a TV ad for his elder care legal business.
Jimmy helps represent Mike when he claims to the DA that the gun in his recent altercation with Tuco gun did not belong to Tuco.
Jimmy gets fired (deliberately) and Kim decides that instead of taking a job offering with another company, leaves.
Jimmy approaches Kim and attempts to convince her to become a partner in their own law firm. But Kim reciprocates with a counter-offer – separate solo firms.
So starts the legal firm of Wexler McGill.
This stand alone novel covers alien abduction (or does it). The first half was what I would expect from Robinson, but around half-way through, the plot starts to slow and there is less action. As a result, this is not his best book. And I had the suspicion throughout the book that I had came across the plot before.
Mike refuses Hector’s deal, but is constantly harassed by Hector’s goons, including Leonel and Marco Salamanca (who are killed by Hank in Breaking Bad).
And Jimmy gets to sing a song from South Pacific.
Meanwhile, Kim works hard to bring in a new client to impress HHM enough to reinstate her old position – Not happening. Howard probably just doesn’t like her.
Saul gets a babysitter (someone to look over him).
And Mike gets a strange offer from Tuco’s Uncle.
This episode is more about Mike than Jimmy, as he tries to help by not killing Tuco. The plan works, but Mike gets very beaten up. Tuco turns up in Breaking Bad, so he must survive, only to be killed by Hank in a shootout.
Jimmy bribes a Sandpiper bus driver to allow him to solicit a bus full of Sandpiper residents on their way to lunch. At an HHM meeting, Jimmy presents his client outreach report. Chuck announces his suspicions about the legality of Jimmy’s methods.
Jimmy shows great initiative, trouble is, it’s at odds with the company team culture. Meanwhile, Mike is getting into trouble.
Series 3 starts with a double episode. Michael has reset everything by saving the four main characters from death. But things don’t go a expected. Eleanor is soon back to her bad old ways.
So he sets out to intervene. With the help of some very bad Australian accents and suggestions, everyone ends up with Chidi in Australia for his Thesis. Then someone unexpected turns up…….
Mike encounters Pryce when he arrives at the police station for a police interview to recover his stolen baseball cards. Mike warns Pryce that the police must suspect that he’s a drug dealer and offers to find the cards himself, to keep Pryce from talking to the police.
Chuck decides to pay a visit to the HHM office, where he sits in on a firm meeting between HHM and DM, and unnerves Jimmy. Jimmy then receives a call from Mike requesting he remove police suspicion from Pryce, which Jimmy achieves by telling the police the secret compartment in Pryce’s living room was used to hold fetish videos of Pryce sitting on pies and crying.
The police scene is one of the best examples of Jimmy just making things up and bull-shitting. He is brilliant at it. Unfortunately his ego and telling Kim will surely get him into trouble.
Jimmy decides to decline Davis & Main’s employment offer and closes down his practice. Kim confronts Jimmy about his odd behavior, but Jimmy is adamant about leaving the practice of law.
After some thought on the matter, Jimmy changes his mind and decides to take the job with Davis & Main.
This one was a bit confusing, does Jimmy know what he wants ?
And why the repeat sequences from the last episode. Strange start to the second season.
