Nah, he wants back all the money that the feds seized.
As evidenced by the foot massager purchase; a very Saul luxury item. Francesca telling him the feds seized his nest eggs set him on a bad choice road and he immediately makes a bad choice trying to contact Kim.

Didn't see the Home Alone connection, but I did recognize that the same actor was in Alexander Payne's Nebraska (Bob Odenkirk is in it too), also shot in B&W and takes place in, well, Nebraska.

Speaking of Home Alone, I feel like Mitch Murphy:

Did he actually talk to Kim?
Or did he get rebuffed and flip out on someone else?
Or was he flipping out at somebody else completely unrelated to Kim?
Do we eventually hear the conversation?
Will the show ever go back to color?
What will that mean?
Are the cops at the house where Jimmy is inside?
Or at Jeffy's mom's house?
Or at the 3rd man's, the one with the dog, house?
Who else will be picking up soda/beer can tabs whenever they're lying around in the sand?

I think the show stays black and white, but Saul is in color after he and Kim rekindle sexually.

On a serious note, I get why everyone is excited to see Walt and Jesse, but I’d be 100 times more interested in a memory with Chuck.

When does Walt Jr. get his own show?

The adventures of Flynn & Louis.

Living large with that trust fund money.

That money definitely got turned over to the Feds before Walt Jr ever saw a dime of it. BB is a show about Walt failing up over and over again. No way that silly plan of his worked out

The money from Grey Matter? Feds would have no cause to take that.

He was 100% talking to Kim. He hoped she would be happy to hear from him directly because Francesca mentioned she called. Kim probably wanted him to turn himself in and he lost it because he likely thought he could rekindle that love.

I agree. When did Jimmy ever display anger at Kim?
