Firms don't stay successful by deciding "They don't need" large accounts. And in all honesty Jimmy really had no skin in that game. It was between Kim and HHM

And if he didn't care, he wouldn't have thrown a bitch fit, and the whole monkey with a machine gun thing wouldn't have happened. It's hard to look at those scenes and argue indifference. |

If I shit on the rug in my livingroom - you probably don't care. If I shit on the rug in your livingroom, you'll probably have a stronger opinion on the matter. Jimmy's shitting on Chuck's rug. |

I'm starting to think that Kim finds out about Jimmy's trip to Kinkos and leaves him. Jimmy then goes to the strip mall to eventually become Saul.

DJ, do you have a sibling that thinks you screwed them over?
Chuck is despicable, he didn't make it into the office one time to save a client or help out the office one time until he had the chance to screw his brother over. His one and only intent is to screw his brother over, his desire to do that is so strong that he can ignore all the other "medical" stuff. |

they pretty clearly seem to indicate he got caught. I'm sure the shit storm will spill over onto Kim. |

If that's the extent of your takeaway from this show, you're missing some damn good television. If you're still putting white hats and black hats on people this far into this series, I think you're missing some pretty complex stuff going on under the surface. I also think you're assuming a great deal many things not actually in evidence right now. Let's not forget that his first journeys back into the office were WITH Jimmy and in so doing he is the one that put together the RICO action and got Jimmy one hell of a sweet deal on the Sandpiper referral; a class action suit that he could never have managed on his own.

Jimmy has a better heart than Chuck, but Chuck has better/more defined morals. Which brother is worse? In the world that we get to see I'd say that Chuck is worse. While it might be illegal to solicit the signatures from the elderly in the lawsuit, Jimmy is only trying to stick it to the man who clearly deserves it. And while it might be perfectly legal to risk death per his condition to keep their client, Chuck is only trying to keep his brother from being successful, who based on what I've seen in the show deserves to be able to find success. |

There is no other plausible explanation other than trying to stick it to Jimmy. His desire to stick it to Jimmy is the only thing powerful enough in his mind to overcome his "illness" and attend the meeting with the lights/cell phones/other electrical obstacles. |

He had already started taking meetings at the office. And again, when Sandpiper came along, he went into the office WITH Jimmy because he knew Sandpiper was a whale of a case and a potentially massive revenue stream. We've seen nothing from Chuck to indicate he's anything other than an aggressive rainmaker for his firm. This show is well-written enough that the characters are acting just as I would expect someone in their shoes to act. Any 'of counsel' partner, especially one as proud and badass as Chuck, would've dragged his ass into that meeting after his junior partner came in and was essentially giving up on retaining a million dollar client. |
