Better Call Saul 2.02

Cobbler

Howard tells Chuck about Jimmy's move to Davis & Main.

Jimmy and Kim get a little closer. She makes it clear that she wants them to get closer. 

Mike finds out about the theft of Bryce's valuable baseball cards. Mike intercepts him just as he is getting ready to go see the police about it. Mike promises to find Bryce's baseball cards. Bryce, in return, agrees to avoid the police and pay Mike for his services.

Mike locates Nacho. He threatens to tell Tuco about Nacho's arrangement with Bryce. Nacho reluctantly agrees to return the baseball cards, once Mike sweetens the deal. Nacho returns the baseball cards plus $10K and in return gets Bryce's car. Bryce isn't happy about the deal but he goes along with it.

Chuck returns to the offices of HHM. He gets there just in time for a meeting between HHM and Davis & Main. Chuck's presence at the meeting makes Jimmy edgy but Kim helps him get through it. Jimmy and Chuck talk briefly after the meeting.

Jimmy gets a call from Mike. He needs some help disentangling Bryce (aka Daniel Wormald) from the police. Jimmy represents Wormald and convinces the cops that what made his client so squirrely about talking to the cops wasn't anything illegal.

Jimmy tries telling Kim about how he helped Wormald. She sees right through it. He helped Wormald to manufacture evidence to deceive the police. Jimmy doesn't see the difference between that and what they did in the previous episode to the guy who was trying to sell them stock. Kim does.

Thoughts

This is a fairly low key episode. Nothing big and exciting happened. The show is building in a few different directions. Nacho isn't going away anytime soon. I'm sure of that although I do wonder about some of these characters who never showed up on Breaking Bad. They've got to exit the picture at some point, some how. When and where will they leave?
