* The BackalleyDoctor who patches Nacho up, to whom the Salamanka Twins bring the wounded Nacho, shows no fear of the dreaded cartell assassins, yells at one of them to drive more carefully, then, during the surgery, casually tells ''[[TheDreaded co-opts them to help him, jokingly calls one of them "{{Creator/YulBrynner}}" and then quietly but sternly tells Nacho that he wants no further part in the Salamanca Twins]]'': "Hey, you, come here and hold him like this".

* Lalo Salamanca's CMOA is simply accepting the criticism and taking Kim's BrutalHonesty on board, a less secure villain would have fucked themselves over by shooting her and Jimmy on the spot there and then, but not Lalo.

** Let's not overlook Michael [=McKean=]'s performance during the aforementioned rant: every single line is delivered with ''righteous'' anger, enough to convince every single viewer that this really is a man letting out '''decades''' of frustration with his younger brother, and it's easily his finest moment playing the character. Hell, if the show weren't from Jimmy's perspective and letting us in on his HiddenDepths, it'd be hard to disagree [[JerkassHasAPoint with a single thing Chuck says]].
---> '''Chuck:''' You think this is something, you think this is bad, this, this chicanery? [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No, he orchestrated it! Jimmy!]] ''[[NoodleIncident He defecated through a sunroof!]]'' And I saved him! I shouldn't have, I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking?! [[DisappointedInYou He'll never change.]]

* Oakley points out that Judge Small always takes the state's recommendation and will probably accept the seven year sentence one, but when Jimmy confesses to everything and the state changes the recommendation to the maximum of life without parole, the judge ''doesn't accept it'' and instead issues an 86 year sentence--with the potential of parole after an indefinite period of "good behavior". That means Jimmy's punishment he got was not the worst possible thing thanks to his confessing and putting himself at risk. It also means that it gave the judge such pause that she chose to put a strict but still surprisingly fair sentence on him too.



* A quiet kind of awesome: instead of thinking he's just doomed to make bad choices, Jimmy gives Kim hope "with good behaviour, who knows?" He ''can'' change, he can be consistently good. Likewise, Kim gets out of her crippling funk, starts working at legal aid and is able to enjoy herself once more.
