![]() He’s trying to keep it together but when he gets a bunch of Bs in a row, he starts to crack up. Jimmy is at the old folks’ home calling Bingo numbers. At least he got a nice long hug out of the whole thing. Chuck thinks he’s a scumbag and Jimmy knows that there is nothing he can do to change that. Kim and Jimmy go down to the garage and she tells him it’s okay to actually emote, but Jimmy seems past the angry phase. The fact that Hamlin legitimately thinks it’s complimentary to call someone “Charlie Hustle” is a topic of its own, but suffice it to say that Howard Hamlin is not the person Jimmy (or the audience) thought he was. (Remember when he sent Kim to the cornfields for losing the crazy Kettlemans? Because I do.) But in this scene we see that Hamlin does actually respect Jimmy-or “Charlie Hustle,” as he used to call him. Don’t get me wrong, Hamlin’s still kind of a dick. We are seeing Howard Hamlin as he really is now that we know that Chuck made him play the bad guy for years. Hamlin is happy to delegate the daily Chuck maintenance to one of his employees, but he seems more shocked by the fact that Jimmy has taken all of it on himself for over a year than he is fazed by the list itself. It would seem that Chuck is HHM’s problem now. Then Jimmy gives Hamlin the Chuck List, which details everything that Jimmy will no longer be doing for his brother on a daily basis. Having decided to give HHM the Sandpiper case, Jimmy has a meeting with Hamlin where he gets his of-counsel payment-it’s a nice pay day for Jimmy, but it’s bittersweet. When Jimmy asks her why she didn’t tell him, she says that she didn’t want him to hate his own brother. Kim joins him and learns that he has figured out the truth about Chuck. The theme plays over Saul’s “World’s Greatest Lawyer” coffee mug falling to the ground and shattering.īack in the present day, we find Jimmy in the HHM lobby. And then Jimmy leaves Marco (and Slippin’ Jimmy) behind and heads to New Mexico to start his new life. They end up parting on bad terms, with Jimmy going full-Chuck on Marco, telling him he should get his own life together. ![]() In Marco’s words, “It’s like watching Miles Davis give up the trumpet.”īut Jimmy has made a promise to Chuck and he intends to keep it, no matter what Marco says. Marco isn’t too thrilled to hear that Jimmy is leaving town, but what seems to bother him the most is that Slippin’ Jimmy is going straight. He stops at a bar on the way to the airport so he can say goodbye to Marco, his best friend and partner in crime. He’s fresh out of jail, and in return for Chuck’s legal help with the whole Chicago Sunroof incident, Jimmy has promised to move to Albuquerque, work in the HHM mailroom, and leave his Slippin’ Jimmy days behind.
