Jimmy and Kim set the final pieces of their plan in motion.
Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) doesn’t talk much about her childhood.
Or did she become her?

The answer is… it’s complicated.
As this week’s episode opens, we see Kim once again as a young teenager.
Moments later, in the car, Kim’s mom cackles “See?

Kim stares at the jewelry, and her mom laughs again.
“Kiddo, relax,” she says.
“You got away with it.”
Then the title credits roll, and we’re back in early 2000s Albuquerque.
(Yes, yes, a blue shirt with a white collar: butwhich one?!)
As always, Howard’s meticulousness is striking.
His closet is uncrowded and perfectly organized.
His shoes are buffed just so.
And indeed, he’s very confident!
Enjoy it while it lasts, Howard!
But let’s hold that thought.

That’s it for Lalo… for now.

(“Was Eisenhower on Omaha Beach?!")
And then it does.
The good news is he’s still got the mustache.
He’s also got a broken arm.
Jimmy calls Kim in a panic.

And look, there’s a lot that’s wrong with Jimmy.
His taste in neckties.
She’d keep driving.
But she doesn’t.
“It happens today,” Kim says, throwing the car into a U-turn.
And that’s where it ends until next week, and our last episode before the mid-season break.
Let’s hope it doesn’t end badly.
