Is it normal that a regional bank would have a single lawyer. I feel like anything more than a single location pizza shop in my town would need a big ol team of lawyers.

Probably not, but I don't think she's their sole lawyer, just the only lawyer they hired to help oversee this "four corners expansion" project.

I really feel like we should have seen Hamlin and Chuck's conversation and Chuck's reaction this episode rather than holding off, but other than that, good episode. I was questioning why Nacho had to bust the A/C, but then it dawned on me that it was to ensure that Hector would not be wearing his coat.

Not only that, but put Hector under the heat and off his guard, and to cover his nervous sweating. Pretty slick scene.

Chuck is all "Gosh, I'm severely mentally ill? Well, then, I'll just think myself better! Ha ha, that was easy!", and the reality truck is barreling in his direction and picking up speed.

At this rate I'm pretty sure Chuck is going to be full-on committed, and it may come as soon as the end of this season with Jimmy helping it along. Chuck pushes himself too far too fast, the malpractice insurance, and the damage to the HHM name that Hamlin's been trying to clean up is all too much for him. It was pretty wild to see Chuck even manage a grocery story visit this quickly though, I mean I'm sure the doctor is right but he is certainly on the right track when last we saw him.

Decent odds he works through his Jimmy complex because it's at the core of his EMF delusion, and tries to make legitimate amends. (And then Jimmy destroys him anyway.) For a while I've been advocating the position that all of Jimmy's seriously shady actions were directly or indirectly motivated by Chuck's machinations and the fallout from them. We've now reached the point where that isn't true anymore. I'd compare it to the point in Breaking Bad where Gretchen offers to cover all of Walt's medical bills and he could've stopped cooking meth. (There's also an argument to be made that that point was when he got the job at D&M and didn't have to bend the rules to make decent money, but I'm of the position that Chuck's suiting up just to come to board meetings and harass him gave him a significant extra push towards "gently caress this" that he could've managed without)

I think Walter really broke bad when he had enough  to pay for treatment + college and kept going

McKean is really outstanding on this show. His whole scene with the doctor really makes you forget all the terrible things Chuck has done. "If it's all in my head...then what have I done?" was heartbreaking. I'm honestly rooting for Chuck to make a comeback, even though I know it's probably not where the show is heading.

It could honestly be a fakeout. He just goes into the insurance company, say 'yeah I've been off sick with a mental health issue, that's why I've barely practiced in three years. I'm in treatment and don't expect to be back full time for a while. Is there something we can work out here? You don't discriminate against legitimate health problems do you?' Plus, it's the insurance for one man, not the entire firm, and he's not been hit with a malpractice suit or a conduct charge by the bar, so the grounds the insurer has to ramp the premiums up on a long time customer with a flawless record seems pretty shakey. Even if they do ramp the premiums up, so what? Just eat it, he's rich as hell. Push come shove just find a different insurer. This just seems to me to be a problem with a million different solutions before you whack the 'kill self with a paraffin lamp' button. EDIT: I too want to see chuck become a magnanimous figure, healed and ready to admit his faults.

That moment when Jimmy realizes that dirtbag drugdealers will pay up without argument while honest businessmen try to screw him out of paying him ("Oh we'll just redo exactly what you did ourselves instead of paying you for more, can't say fairer than that!") was simultaneously a little fistpump moment and deeply depressing. He's gonna go off the deep-end fast.

That story he heard in the survivor's group about the lady's husband being missing and how it left her with no sense of certainty reminded him that the samaritan probably has family out there somewhere wondering why their husband/brother/father/son etc never came home/what happened to him.

Help Im Alive posted:The chuck hate in this thread is especially weird in this episode where he's just trying to get his life back together These posts go so well together. Like yeah I like Jimmy and dislike Chuck but if you had to deal with one of them in a serious manner you best hope you get Chuck. The guitar bros were absolutely right to call Jimmy out. He's trying to hustle his "clients", that's the whole point of the past few eps. And agreeing to a verbal deal does not actually oblige you to pay the scumbag commercial guy who's weaseling his way out of his own agreement with the network. You absolutely could and should just hire your own film students and pay the network directly for a vastly reduced expense. Meanwhile Chuck's main crimes are mental illness, loving his dad, and harboring resentment. He's an rear end in a top hat but most of us are, so... We don't end up being lying hucksters.

I wouldn't really say he's been trying to hustle anyone with his commercials. Unless you can get a crew to shoot, produce and edit for free the cost for the commercial slot isn't the lone expense.

He's sidestepping his contract with the network by trying to sell x commercials once each instead of the more reasonable one commercial, x times. Any of his clients could just reach out to some other desperate film students and make their own commercial, and pay the 450 or whatever for 7 slots instead of paying 6500 for 7 slots but with different commercials. It's not like he's offering an actual professional shoot. If you don't think that Slippin' Jimmy is hustling then idfk

We don't end up being lying hucksters. It's really a key point that Chuck isn't in a right state of mind and has been out of it for a long time. Honestly it's the relationship between Chuck and Jimmy that I love. It's such a perfect portrayal of troubled siblings. They both still care about each other but their deep personal flaws keep widening the rift between them. The car crash is coming and it's going to be heartbreaking to see.

I'm not talking about any sort of legal obligation. My point goes back to what Mike said back in Season 1, "You make a deal with someone, you keep your word." These questions about why they're shooting multiple commercials and getting the airtime for free should have come before they agreed to take the initial commercial and airtime for free. Now that they already got it AND saw an increase in business, they want to renege on the agreement? How is that not just them pulling their own hustle? They might be on the right side of the law, that doesn't mean they're not as contemptible as Jimmy.

I've just started the episode, but I'm really happy to see Chuck actually taking a look at his disorder through the lens of it being a mental problem. I can't see this going well, because it's a Vince Gilligan show. Also, yay Marco and Dr Cruz!

You say "yeah okay, I'll buy it." After you say that, you do some research and find out you're getting scammed HARD. Sucks that you said you would buy it though. Thanks for your money!
