History Recap / BetterCallSaulS2E2Cobbler

* WritersCannotDoMath: Daniel's baseball card collection, just based off the handful of valuable cards he mentions having, is probably worth millions of dollars (the Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card in mint condition he specifically mentions is worth around a quarter-million by itself in 2002). Clearly, Daniel is meant to be portrayed as a middle-class individual, who has resorted to stealing drugs from his employer to make extra money, so him owning such an incredibly valuable collection of baseball cards doesn't make very much sense. Although he did mention that some of these cards were form his father, presumably the valuable cards, which would make more sense.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: There's symbolism in those cupholders - the thermos cup fits into the cupholder of Jimmy [=McGill=] Esq.'s crappy beater, but not those of the Davis & Main company car, just as Jimmy won't fit in at Davis & Main.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Jimmy effortlessly fits his new "2nd Best Lawyer" cup, a gift from Kim, into the cupholder of his beat up old lemon of a car. He just can't fit it into the cupholder of the company car provided to him by Davis & Main. He won't be a "fit" with the firm he's just joined.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While maybe not known as "Hoboken Squat Cobbler," [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Kq_PAo5Qw pie-sitting is a real thing]].

Jimmy accompanies Daniel to talk to the police about his stolen cards. Daniel tells them that he managed to track down the cards and wants to drop charges but because he is clearly nervous, Jimmy sends him out before. Jimmy tells the officers that he knows that they found the space behind Daniel's couch and assures them that it has nothing to do with any criminal business. Instead, he claims that Daniel used it to hide some private video tapes of him doing a "Squat Cobbler" – sensually sitting in a pie while crying. The officers seem perplexed but ask no further. As Jimmy and Daniel leave, Jimmy tells Daniel that they have a video to shoot.

After a meeting at HHM with Davis & Main, Jimmy and Kim share a cigarette in the parking as they discuss the perks of his new job, one of which is a company car that Jimmy goes to collect. He officially leaves his old office at the nail studio and watches as his old car is towed off before getting into his brand new Mercedes company car.

At HHM, Chuck shows up in the middle of a meeting and wants to talk to Jimmy after it. Jimmy however is still deeply hurt by his betrayal and not thrilled to talk to his brother. He is however saved by Mike calling him that he has a job for him.

Jimmy accompanies Daniel to talk to the police about his stolen cards. Daniel tells them that he managed to track down the cards and wants to drop charges but because he is clearly nervous Jimmy sends him out before he can screw up completely. Jimmy tells the officers that he knows that they found the space behind Daniel's couch and assures them that it has nothing to do with any criminal business. Instead, he claims that Daniel used it to hide some private video tapes with him doing a "Squat Cobbler" – sensually sitting in a pie while crying. The officers seem perplexed but ask no further. As Jimmy and Daniel leave, Jimmy tells Daniel that they have a video to shoot.

Jimmy meets up with Kim, bringing a pie along and telling her about the story that he made up and the video that he shot. Kim does not react well to the latter, since it is fabricated evidence, and seriously asks Jimmy to never tell her about such things again. Jimmy, equally seriously, promises that he won't.

* KnowWhenToToFoldEm: Nacho initially is irate and confrontational with Mike when he suggests he give back Daniel's baseball cards, but very quickly goes along with his idea when he threatens to rat him out to [[TheDreaded Tuco]].

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Mike when he goes to Manuel Varga's shop under the pretense of wanting to get his seats re-upholstered. He asks Manuel if he works on cars (which is like walking into a Baskin-Robbins and asking they do ice cream), dismisses their recommendation to get a new car instead of wasting money upholstering such an old car, and then has to be talked out of getting it done in ultra-expensive alligator skin, which would clash horribly with the style of the car. The fact that Manuel doesn't even try to take advantage of him goes a long way in establishing him as a honest person with great integrity.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Kim may have enjoyed ripping off Ken Levine and spending a night with Jimmy, but she's utterly mortified when she learns about him fabricating evidence to get Daniel off, and further warns him to never share such illegal activities with her ever again.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mike has no problem threatening to inform Tuco of Nacho dealing drugs independently if Nacho doesn't give Daniel his baseball cards back, since Nacho going behind his boss's back did knowing the potential risks. But he does draw the line at threatening Nacho's family, who are not involved in the criminal underworld and have nothing to do with anything Nacho does as a cartel enforcer.

Mike goes to the car repair shop owned by Nacho's father to talk Nacho into giving Daniel's baseball cards back. Nacho first refuses but agrees when Mike mentions that Tuco Salamanca doesn't know about the business that Nacho has been doing behind his desk. At the transfer, Daniel hands over his conspicuous Hummer in exchange for the cards and 10 000$ in cash.
