Added DiffLines:

* FancyToiletAwe: Downplayed and Played for Laughs: Roland reveals what looks like an ordinary toilet to Jimmy, but explains he wired a motion sensor and speaker to the toilet to create "Tony the Toilet Buddy". After demonstrating the toilet, Jimmy, clearly confused and a bit creeped out, explains the obvious problem: the affirmations the toilet is using are sexually suggestive. Roland, clearly oblivious, is shocked and demands Jimmy leave.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The doctor who informs Jimmy that Chuck's condition is almost certainly psychosomatic is, of course, just trying to help by enabling him to get his brother appropriate treatment. Later episodes will go on to show this knowledge being used to devastating effect, however.

[[spoiler:In [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS3E10Lantern "Lantern"]], Chuck ends up committing suicide by setting his house on fire with one of the lanterns while inside.]]

* CallForward: The assisted living facility Jimmy promotes his new elder law practice at is the same one that Hector Salamanca will [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS5E2FiftyPercentOff eventually]] find himself in. And then there's the throwaway line about [[spoiler:Chuck burning down his house,]] which eventually comes true two seasons later in [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS3E10Lantern Lantern.]]
