*** I don't think anyone ever implicated Mike about the first call - it was just assumed that a random bystander called in and reported a fight (it could've started earlier after all). Also, he calls the police later, about the Good Samaritan's body, and isn't worried he'd be recognized (he doesn't even do the sexy robot voice thing!), likely because noone in the Albuquerque police knows him enough by voice (hence why he relocated so far in the first place). It was indeed very strange and sloppy for him to rely on strangers in a situation like this.



** Howard's mad about the commercial, but the problem I have is that he's too angry about the commercial. Angrier than Cliff is. Hey, Cliff disciplining Jimmy by putting him under close scrutiny and assigning Erin Brill to be his handler is reasonable. Howard putting Kim into doc review was a slight overreaction, but sending her back after she lands this huge new account? It's not only irrationally spiteful, it's stupid. Howard is taking the risk that Kim won't just say “ScrewThisImOuttaHere," call the Mesa Verde Credit Union people, and make sure that HHM loses $250K in billings when she leaves. Even at his worst in Season 1, Howard wasn't quite that much of a pigfucker.

** Mike was presumably banking on the Kettlemans being greedy idiots. Which they totally are (I think that greed often does lead to people making irrational decisions). Also, the Kettlemans, as thieves, have good reason to be paranoid about anyone finding the money on their property. Regardless of how it got where it was, their first instinct would naturally be to hide it.

* In "Uno", Jimmy is defending three guys charged with breaking into a funeral home and performing a sex crime on a severed human head. His attempt at the "boys will be boys" defence fails when the prosecutor plays a home video the guys themselves recorded of them committing the crime. Did Jimmy even know the video existed? Duty of exclosure means that the prosecutor must have told him about the video at the very least. Given that, could Jimmy not have saved himself some time and professional embarrassment by just getting the guys to plead guilty?
