Kim's character arc has been all about how they're much closer than even she thought, the tension between the person she thought she was vs. what she is actually capable of. That was one of the main points of season 5tragabigzanda wrote:Yeah the class disparity — and I mean class as in their behavior and morals more so than economics — between those two has been pretty stark since the beginning.

I’m interested to see if they delve into her backstory more in the final season. We only caught a glimpse of her mom’s behavior and young Kim’s reaction to it. Did she ever break bad as a kid? Was her father a conman? That seed doesn’t necessarily have to be planted when she was a child for her to act out now; it’s very likely that her current behavior was influenced by Jimmy and her playing the part of The Good Lawyer for too long.Jorge wrote:She's attracted to Jimmy partly because of his shystery tendencies, which she initially indulges in as a lark. She goes back and forth during seasons 4 and 5 as to how far she could go down that road herself. It's a struggle for her, but by the end of season 5, she's all in
You said the difference in their behavior and morals has been "pretty stark since the beginning". But that's not really truetragabigzanda wrote:Jorge no one is arguing what you said nor does it negate the truth of my statement. You’re obviously high on sugary breakfast cereal.
