-> Written and directed by Thomas Schnauz
-> Air date: May 22nd, 2017



* AllForNothing: Or at least close to nothing. Jimmy only got 30 minutes logged in from a 4-hour community service as penalty for using his cell phone and he only gets $100 out of doing a furniture commercial because the store owner made him cover the airtime expenses. Jimmy also gets forced to do a commercial for the music store brothers for free when they decide to scrap the commercial altogether to save their budget.

Added DiffLines:

* AnachronismStew: Though this episode takes place in 2003, some inconsistencies can be spotted:
** Kim's cell phone, a Motorola C115, was released in late 2004.
** A sign for the telecommunication company Lycamobile can be seen in the background when Jimmy sits in front of the music store, even though the company itself wouldn't be founded until 2006.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Jimmy ''was'' going to do this to the abrasive bar patron.
** From Jimmy's perspective, this also applies to screwing Chuck over with the insurance company.

Added DiffLines:

* PacManFever: Daniel is playing a Game Boy Advance in his car while waiting for Mike. A GBA is period-correct for the time period the show takes place in, but he's playing it in the middle of the night with no light source. The original GBA didn't have a backlight so you needed to play it under light (preferably sunlight) to see the system's infamously dark screen. Also it looks like he's mashing buttons to play a baseball game. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also the power light isn't on.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: Just what happened to Anita's husband is left unanswered. It's possible to interpret his disappearance as just something that happened on its own, with Mike's response being due to his empathy for the family of the witness who Hector killed. However, it's also possible to interpret his disappearance as being the cartel's doing, with Mike's response being because he realizes that the cartel's been "disappearing" innocent passerby for years.

The fact that they NeverFoundTheBody after 8 years strongly suggests the latter.

Added DiffLines:

* TakingYouWithMe: Jimmy is hurting at the prospect that he may never practice law again, a possibility that sinks in when he's informed that his insurance premiums will more then double even should his suspension lift. So he reasons that if Chuck is going to take away his privilege of being a lawyer, he'll return the favor. He then begins to leak Chuck's mental breakdown during the bar hearing, along with some HalfTruth about Chuck getting the Mesa Verde address wrong, to the insurance agent.
