* PetTheDog: Hamlim often looks a lot like a shallow and opportunistic YesMan to Chuck up to this point. However, when Chuck is having a meltdown over his supposed mistake, he quickly tries to console him as best he can. Visibly worried about his friend, completely ignoring the fact that HHM (and himself) have also been embarrased by Chuck's apparent incompetency.

* EveryManHasHisPrice: Lance accepts Jimmy's bribe to deny to Chuck that Jimmy was there beforehand making copies. Jimmy offers $100 to delete the security VCR tape, only for Lance to insist on it being "200$ expensive".

* BadBoss: Chuck is very abusive and demeaning towards Ernesto, even though Ernesto is sincerely motivated by looking out for Chuck's well-being when suggesting the need to leave or take a break from the copy shop that is loaded with electricity.

* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: Chuck uses the nebulous-yet-accurate phrase "officer of the court, investigating a felony" to try to intimidate Lance into ''thinking'' he's a cop so he'll tell him the truth, no questions asked. When Lance responds if that ''means'' he's a cop, Chuck [[VerbalBackspace immediately stammers out a "no"]], because he knows all too well that actually masquerading as a police officer would be a serious felony, even more illegal than Jimmy's subterfuge.
* InsideJob: Nacho suspects at first that Lecerda must have been in on the robbery with Mike, given Mike is just one guy going up against Hector Salamanca.

* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: Chuck uses the nebulous-yet-accurate phrase "officer of the court, investigating a felony" IDidWhatIHadToDo: Jimmy says as much to try to intimidate Lance into ''thinking'' he's a cop so he'll tell him the truth, no questions asked. When Lance responds if that ''means'' he's a cop, Chuck [[VerbalBackspace immediately stammers out a "no"]], because he knows Kim: "I'm just gonna say you are meant for Mesa Verde and they are meant for you. So all too well that actually masquerading as a police officer would be a serious felony, even more illegal than Jimmy's subterfuge.

is right with Mike, given Mike is just one guy going up against Hector Salamanca.the world."

* HeroicBSoD: Kim has a brief one after leaving Chuck's house, where she has a ThousandYardStare while sitting in the car. She's concerned how far things could sink if she remains joined at the hip with Jimmy.


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: Lecerda being left alive at the scene of the truck hijacking means Nacho connects it to Mike, whom he remembers for his great reluctance at pulling the trigger on Tuco.

* ForWantOfANail: If Chuck hadn't insisted on conducting the Banking Board hearing himself then Howard, who had much better people skills, would likely have owned up and apologized to Kevin Wachtell. That meant Howard might have been able to keep Mesa Verde as a prized client instead of Chuck driving them away with his arrogance. That would have made Jimmy's efforts AllForNothing.

Furthermore, Jimmy wouldn't have been able to replace the doctored documents with the originals to cover up what he did.

* EtTuBrute: Chuck feels utterly betrayed by Jimmy "stabbing him in the back" while Jimmy prepared to care for him in his sleep. But we all know Chuck is a {{Hypocrite}} in that respect.
