Or she gets popped covering for Jimmy and gets disbarred.

Exactly.

Ohh....maybe and then she's gone since she's never a part of bb

I don't really understand that move of showing the class action commercial without running it by the partners first. He had already brought up the concept and it was accepted with a "sure let's have a look when I get back" response by one of the senior partners. Why didn't he just wait until Monday when he returned from vacation and present the commercial? He wasn't in a "I need to make a bold move" situation yet.</br></br>Is he simply that rogue and self-destructive or am I missing something? If he is simply that rogue and self-destructive why did he just buy a nice condo and is taking down the girl that he obviously likes (but seems to be a 'hold my purse while I shop' relationship) down with him.</br></br>On the plus side, Mike is still just a kick ass character.

He was scared of it getting bogged down "in committee," for lack of a better phrase. He saw the terribad commercial they produced previously after spending hours in meetings to get the swirl just right and didn't want them to destroy the commercial.

OK...so about Mikes daughter in law.... (I believe this to be true and don't know or remember what happened to his son???)

anyways....so wow...she LIED to him about the bullets. WTF!

EDIT:

That makes sense especially after realizing I didn't pick up on Kim explaining how long the swirl on the last commercial took and realizing his brother would be part in the decision as well.</br></br>Just seemed like an odd time for a 'now or never' decision.

I think she's scared and paranoid.

That's it right there. He has no ability to think through to consequences for his actions. Even an inside ad agency gets a commercial approved and signed-off. If the balked about it, he'd have to just sell it even if he just said let's test it in a small audience like he did.

I agree that was his thinking on it.

I guess I liked the first commercial by the company. Seemed to get the point accross.

This is the story.

But I'm lost on Mike's story. If he sat outside her house all night, she dreamed the gunshots and whatever the mark on the side of the house is, what are they getting at? Are they shaking her down? Does she have PTSD? What?

I think he forgot that he is dealing with a woman who ya know all woman be crazy. So he forgets rule number 1 THAT WOMAN BE CRAZY and then he looks at the missing spackle and is like ayyeeee forgot rule number 1

It's been a fun series. Very watchable, but mostly an entertaining show with a few powerful moments. But man, this week's episode was a knife-twister. Shit's about to get real real fast.

Kind of. But the above explanation makes it sound like Jimmy was intentionally doing things slippery. After Kim rejects footsie, Jimmy makes a genuine attempt to go clean. Was glowing with pride for producing an ad that followed all the rules.

Seemed to me like Jimmy followed all the rules, but rushed into making a bad decision due to pressure to prove his brother wrong that he could do things legit. Gilligan sets up the ultimate irony... Jimmy gets praised by his boss when he does things slippery, but gets his ass chewed out when he tries to go legit. Sets up a pretty compelling character arc.
