Both of them blew off work to scam the guy and get drunk. I wondered why Kim was interested in Jimmy a flunky from the mail room until she said that she also started in the mail room and then went to law school.

It didn't sound like they were going to cash the engineer's check anyway. Btw, is that the first check written to "Ice Station Zebra Associates"? Nice BB tie in.


I'm guessing if Kim does leave HHM, Howard will view it as a betrayal. Especially as this is their opposing counsel in Sandpiper. He will probably insult her and tell her that Schweikart is just trying to use her to get info on Sandpiper.


Does anybody else want to punch that Erin girl? Literally standing over his shoulder, ugh. Her personality is subtle kind of annoying. I think we have all worked with someone like her.

Yup. We have never seen Jimmy or Kim scam an innocent. It's why we like them. They are only getting people who deserve to get got.

Yes, there's really not much I find likable about scam artist no matter how they rationalize it, its a deplorable personal defect that has a way of hurting more than just the targeted as well. I don't say I haven't any sympathy for whatever inner demons motivate them, but, they are still exihibiting the characteristics of pond scum.

I get what you're saying. Still...

I don't really mind when pond scum gets scummed, even if other scum is doing the scumming.

The check was only for $1,000, made out to a fictitious company name, and they will never cash the check. So to call it a scam is not fair, prank is a better term imo.

Mike pistol whipping two guys in his house with pointed guns did not seem wise or plausible to me. Any sane person would have shot them. I am really disappointed with the story lines created for Mike. It is like they are making him out to be some kind of geriatric super hero.

Love this show! As a former legal secretary for 18 years, I would LOVE to work for someone like him. When I worked for DOJ, there were several defense attorneys I worked with that were like him.

Yes we so know Walter White, and blue factory and a thousand ways of getting out of the most bizarre circumstances was way more believable. I so am there.
