He really does look a lot older now than he did in BB (while Odenkirk miraculously looks younger). I'm telling myself it's because he starts living the good life after he hooks up with Fring's crew, and that takes a few years off his brow.

Jimmy's still got a long way to go before he's in his Breaking Bad "starting position". Remember the very first thing he suggests when confronted by Walt and Jesse is to kill Badger. Can you really picture Jimmy McGill, as we know him right now, to be so nonchalant about murder?

Something's gotta happen to get him there.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

HHM gets in trouble with Mesa Verde over the errors in those documents, which go against the whole dotting-the-i's-crossing-the-t's approach Chuck sold them on. Chuck believes Jimmy did it, but Howard's not convinced. Howard believes Chuck is paranoid and might be starting to finally lose it, letting his disdain for his brother get the better of him. Howard calls Chuck's mental wellbeing into question and starts exploring the possibility of cashing him out of the firm. Jimmy must choose whether to speak up and fess up to the document doctoring and destroy his relationship with Kim, or stay silent and watch his brother lose the one last thing that was keeping him going: his law career.
Meanwhile, Mike hits the Salamancas hard and establishes himself as a key player in the ABQ underground, bringing him to the attention of one Gustavo Fring.
