Rhea has said more than once that they’re both igniting what’s already there, no corruption


* TheCorrupter: We know get a glimpse that Jimmy is truly becoming one for Kim. He admits to Kim that the support for Huell fraud was both unethical for a lawyer and a criminal offence. He promises he won't go into unethical behavior again, although we as the audience know how long we can expect him to keep that promise. Jimmy is himself surprised when Kim says, "Let's do it again."

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The FauxAffably Lalo makes all kinds of power plays against Nacho during their first meeting together, underneath a light-hearted exuberance on the surface. Those power plays include letting Nacho guess on his own that he's part of the Salamanca family, trying to compel Nacho to eat his cooking, and letting Nacho know that he knew everything about him beforehand. And he exudes a warm smile and a frenetic cheerful energy through the whole encounter.

* TheDreaded: Just having Salamnca as a last name would likely be enough. But we see Domingo visibly terrifed when Nacho walks in through the front door. And Nacho is himself visibly nervous when he has his first encounter with Lalo.

* DoWrongRight: Orchestrating and falsifying support for Huell would be unethical for any lawyer. And this was Kim's idea, which she came up with as an alternative when she estimated that Jimmy was likely going to pull an even worse scam. But Jimmy takes it, runs with, and completes its execution.
