Better Call Saul 2x2

Howard says "Charlie Hustle" with the meaning of Jimmy works hard, has hustle. Chuck hears it and to him its that Jimmy hustles other people.

It only gets better & better my dudes.

If you didn’t notice, the premium tequila is the same brand Gus gifted to Don Eladio in Breaking Bad - Zafiro Añejo, which he was very excited about.

i've rewatched the show like ten times and this is my first time seeing this, absolutely horrendous thanks!

kim also doesn't know the full context of Mike and Jimmy helping each other. I agree with your motive for Jimmy in the moment but it's also smart to have Mike owe you a favor again, if say you were planning on leading the sort of life where you might need more Mike favors lol. It's intentionally contrasted with him finding a good thing at work and getting validation from Cliff... the day job validation means nothing to him even though it's really good to get a big W early into his partnership track. but after pulling off the scam he's relishing, literally eating delicious pie as a reward while recounting it to kim and she's laughing and they've had or probably are gonna have sex... the "correct" validation does nothing for him, but the "bad" validation of his illegal scammery gives him that dopamine hit.

Nacho: How'd you find me? Mike: clearly you haven't seen Breaking Bad Great reaction, I don't have much to add. It's just fun watching this unfold.

Kara

I don't need this today 😭

What a great episode!!!--RULE # 1 never talk to the cops! they are not your friends, they are not there to help you, and "everything you say can and will be used against you"

As you go along with Season 2, write down the first letter of the first word from each episode title. DON'T cheat and look ahead, because I don't want to give any spoilers. Just as you come to each episode, just take the first letter from each episode title and see if you can unscramble them at the end of the season!

I don't know if you noticed, but in the cold open at the end, Chuck's metronome is no longer in sync, it's slightly off. That happened after Chuck got the news that despite his efforts, Jimmy is still thriving as a lawyer. I like to think that the metronome isn't actually out of sync, that Chuck just imagines it is, but it symbolizes the same thing: Jimmy being a lawyer, and especially one that gets taken seriously by his peers, is like a thorn in Chuck's side, it tilts his whole life off-kilter. Try and pay attention to Chuck whenever Jimmy does something morally wrong or questionable. It usually worsens Chuck's symptoms of his supposed illness and makes him physically react. Another fairly obvious but effective use of symbolism: Jimmy's cup not fitting in his new car. It's like his old life, the messy, imperfect life that he still kinda loves (like that cup) doesn't fit into this new life he has chosen. It doesn't really fit new, reformed Jimmy as a whole. This kind of symbolism is everywhere in these episodes if you start paying attention to it. Also, Kim is absolutely right, Jimmy had basically no reason to do this favor for Mike and Dan, but to us, the why is obvious. He got the call from Mike right after his encounter with Chuck, where Chuck said he was there to "bear witness", basically to be there (and possibly point out) when Jimmy starts being Slippin' Jimmy in his new job which Chuck obviously views as inevitable. But the endless irony is, of course, that Chuck never believing in Jimmy, never believing that he could be better, could be more, is exactly what keeps Jimmy doing it over and over again. By again not receiving approval from his older brother but learning he's just there to see Jimmy screw up, Jimmy thinks "well fuck it, I might as well be Slippin' Jimmy", you can see the almost teenager-like defiance and spite in him when he accepts the offer. And of course he enjoys these shenanigans, but if Chuck had said something else, that he was proud of Jimmy for straightening out and taking this opportunity with Davis & Main seriously—which Jimmy had been doing up until then—I'm quite certain that Jimmy would not have accepted Mike's offer.

There was just kind of an awkward tension in the air between them

Christophe

Glad you're enjoying the season so far! All aboard the mcwexler train :D <3

After Jimmy gets his 2nd best flask and kisses Kim goodbye, you guys suddenly seemed perplexed at the entire show’s existence. Just wondering, why??

Chris Thompson

Just in case you're curious, they actually did film a Squat Cobbler video with that actor and released it as a DVD/Blu-ray extra for Season 2 🤣 https://youtu.be/-3bp6cXFV6w?si=wwjTRDxoy_-MMyOQ
