Yeah agreed. He genuinely feels bad but his attempts to relieve his guilt are not what Saul wants to be dealing with now.

Really interesting story arc imo.

The marriage thing makes some sense to me - Kim can't trust Jimmy's word anymore, she needs it in writing.

This has been a stellar season so far.

It does explain why she'd have to use the vacuum man
That probably makes the most sense given that Saul is intimately familiar with his services by Breaking Bad.

You can explore a character's motives without saying they're doing good things and deserve to succeed

I'd like to see another spinoff just because the writing team obviously has a good thing going and it'd be cool if they could stay together. Fring would be the obvious candidate.

Howard noticing Jimmy was loving with him and hiring a PI was the whole point of the plan.

If you can drug him by handing him a damp piece of paper then the rest of the scheme is pointless. Just give him drugs and he'll act weird at the hearing, why bother with the country club and fake bribe? They didn't play on his character flaws like with Chuck or the Mesa Verde guy, they just drugged him so he freaked out. It's a court room super weapon but I predict it will never come up again.

It's not the worst plot point ever, but after 6 episodes of build up it felt like a let down.
The drug on its own would not have done anything significant, they just applied a bit more pressure and provided some supporting evidence by dilating his pupils. The other scams were necessary to make Howard call a detective in the first place, to make sure he knew that Kim and Saul were working against him so he'd accuse them and be seen as a paranoid mess, and also to plant doubts in the mind of his partner.

I think it was accurate when she said in season 6 that they encourage each other to go further.

The idea that your mild-mannered chemistry teacher friend who's dying of cancer has metamorphised into a ruthless druglord in his retirement is so inherently ridiculous that I can believe Hank never seriously considered it, even if there were times when he should have done.
