The practice of law isn't like a factory where supervisors can tell at a glance is workers are slacking off, and can inspect all goods for quality control as they leave the facility. Attorneys, even drones, have a great deal of autonomy in the execution of their duties, bound by their oath and their character. But by all means, if you want to watch the show as a battle between white hats and black hats, more power to you. |

I don't think anybody is denying that Chuck has a point. But it's also a complete rationalization on his part. Whether he wants to admit it to himself or not, he betrayed Jimmy for his own selfish reasons.

Jimmy can be an antihero and still get legitimately ****ed over. Did Jimmy take shortcuts with the Sandpiper case, or was he diving into dumpsters to get shredded documents? Was he going to ridiculous lengths to get his PD cases good deals when the prosecutors couldn't remember them, or wasn't he? Jimmy could have gotten $150K just by telling Nacho about the Kettlemans, and he could have split the full load of cash with Mike, but he didn't do those things? Jimmy's issues have never been within the actual practice of law but a desperate attempt to gain clients (or help his friend/love interest regain them) because his brother was shut out and he was denied a job out of law school. That's the point of Mike's speech last night. Jimmy may become a criminal lawyer, but he's not a bad person, and Chuck and Howard may not be criminals, but they are viperous bastards. Chuck is the guy talking about how nasty pit bulls are while poking his with a stick hourly and saying, "See? Look how vicious they are." |

Hey mote finder, mind your beams. To Chuck's POV attorneys, like surgeons or anesthesiologists, are not in a line of work where an great job on one task erases a shady job on another. You don't get to scam insurance or arrange publicity stunts because you did great work for some old people getting scammed the week before. |

The may be conning us, but the actors in the roundtable I posted earlier were vehement that Jesse would not show up soon, because where they are now, he's 11 or 12 yo.

I was thinking of all the scenarios that could occur, for Jimmy to fall from grace, and Chuck betraying him certainly was one of tbhem but it was more in the back of my mind. If you look through the previous comments, I think most people on here were thinking HHM would steal the case from Jimmy, but it would be more of Howard and the company's doing, not Chuck's betrayal. Not mind blowing or anything, but very surprising and good story telling.
