With his law license suspended, Jimmy interviews for a job as a salesman at Neff Copiers and spots an opportunity to steal a valuable Hummel figurine. Rebecca and Kim meet with Howard to review the disposition of Chuck's estate. Unaware of Jimmy's role in the events, Kim has an explosive confrontation with Howard in which she lambastes him for treating Jimmy poorly ever since. Meanwhile, Lydia informs Mike that his security consulting is meant to be a paper transaction to facilitate the launderi
Jimmy approaches Mike to steal the Hummel, but he is unwilling to do it, so Jimmy hires Ira. The crime is nearly a bust due to the unexpected development of the owner living at the Copiers, but they manage to escape with the figure. Kim returns to working with Mesa Verde but is concerned about their planned rapid expansion. Victor and Tyrus arrange Arturo's death to look like a gang attack, deflecting attention from Nacho and hiding his involvement with Gus. The staged attack includes bullet wou
Jimmy is quickly bored with managing a cellular phone store and tries to boost business. He later meets with Ira, who sold the stolen Hummel for more than expected and offers to carry out future thefts. Bored herself with Mesa Verde work, Kim observes Judge Munsinger's courtroom, hoping to rekindle her interest in the law by taking on pro bono defense counsel work. Meanwhile, Victor sells the drugs from the fake attack on Nacho to the Espinosas. Nacho tells the Salamancas that the Espinosas carr
In a flash forward (taking place during Breaking Bads "Ozymandias"), Francesca quickly shreds documents and Saul frantically collects cash, mementos, and paperwork from his office before contacting his "disappearer" for a new identity.

He sells them all, but the venture proves unsuccessful because he is mugged by t
In a flashback, Kim and Jimmy work in HHM's mailroom. Third-year law student Kim demonstrates her legal knowledge, impressing pre-sickness Chuck and piquing Jimmy's curiosity. In 2003, Kim juggles Mesa Verde work with pro bono criminal defense cases, and Jimmy struggles financially during his suspension. Kim joins Schweikart & Cokely, enabling her to handle both Mesa Verde and criminal cases, but disappointing Jimmy, who realizes the death of his dream to restart the Wexler-McGill office. Jimmy
In a time jump sequence of several months that advances to early 2004, Jimmy and Kim are shown to be drifting further apart. Kim's arm has healed, and to Jimmy's chagrin, she thrives at Schweikart & Cokely, with Mesa Verde's expansion continuing on schedule and Kim finding time to work on the pro bono criminal defense cases that give her satisfaction. Jimmy plans his return to practicing law, including searching for an office. His business re-selling prepaid phones on the street continues to gro
Kim enlists S&C employees in Huell's defense and indicates she'll bury prosecutor Suzanne Ericsen in paperwork. Jimmy takes a bus ride, uses a variety of pens and paper to write supportive mail for Huell, and enlists other passengers to help. The mail is sent with return addresses and postmarks from Coushatta, Louisiana, Huell's hometown. Suzanne investigates, but Jimmy has arranged for a fake church website and pay-as-you-go cellular phones that Jimmy and his TV ad film crew answer. The phony s
Jimmy and Kim surreptitiously replace approved plans for Mesa Verde's Lubbock, Texas branch with plans for a bigger building. Jimmy answers the questions eloquently at his reinstatement hearing, but his application is denied. The chairman suggests Jimmy's answers were "insincere", and when he recounts the details to Kim, she explains to Jimmy that he did not mention Chuck; Jimmy's relationship with Chuck caused his suspension, so the panel expected Jimmy to discuss it. He defensively accuses Kim
In a flashback, Chuck feigns enthusiasm on the day Jimmy becomes an attorney. In 2004, Kim helps Jimmy's appeal by arranging public displays where he feigns grief for Chuck. Jimmy participates in interviewing Chuck's scholarship candidates and connects with one whose past includes shoplifting. He tells her the other panel members didn't select her and counsels her that the powerful will never look past her youthful mistake, so she should do whatever is necessary to get ahead. At his appeal, Jimm
