Sunk Costs
Jimmy gets arrested for breaking into Chuck's home and destroying his tape recorder. Jimmy spends the night in jail.
Mike meets Gus for the first time. Gus explains that he doesn't want Mike to kill Hector Salamanca but he doesn't mind if Mike messes with Hector's operations. Mike reads between the lines and comes to the conclusion that Gus and Hector are competitors.
Kim finds out about Jimmy getting arrested from Ernesto, whom Chuck fired. She shows up in time for the prelimary hearing. She tries to help Jimmy but he insists on defending himself. He is taken before a judge the next day. He pleads not guilty. He is released after he posts bail.
Mike goes to see a Mexican-American doctor. He gets some illegal drugs from the doctor. He uses them to taint one of Hector's trucks before it crosses the border into the United States.
Jimmy learns that his case has been handed off to a prosecutor from another jurisdiction. She meets with Chuck and then presents Jimmy with a deal: no jail time but he will have to confess to a felony. It will mean he will lose his law license. Kim agrees to help him fight it.
Thoughts
Jimmy and Mike did not interact in this episode. That makes two of the three episodes in this season where they have not interacted. I wonder how long that will go on for?
I thought this was another solid episode. There were a number of extended sequences with little to no talking. They didn't last too long but they were there. I really like what they add to this show.
I assume that Jimmy's case will probably get resolved within the next episode or two. Where the show goes after that I'm not sure. I'm not sure what is coming up next for Mike. Nacho has yet to make an appearance in this season. Maybe he will in the next one.
