A restless Jimmy embarks on a new endeavor while Mike burns bridges; Kim pursues her bliss; Nacho tries to survive a turf war.

What is Kim's bliss? Something she's passionate about maybe? Perhaps leading her to quit law and pursue something else, which when coupled with Jimmy's declining ethical and moral standards, causes her to dump him and move away?

Alcohol? Movies?

Incoming info coming from next week's preview. Skip ahead if you want to go in blind. Possible spoilers.


















The preview heavily suggests she would like to be in criminal defense. They showed a court room scene where a criminal defendant had no representation with him. Kim was just spectating as if she wished she could do some trial work.

I think combined with her " To Kill a Mockingbird" comment she clearly wants to be a trial lawyer and not just pushing papers.

Here is another tidbit to watch for about Kim's career. This is not my theory, but I think there is something to it.

Kevin at Mesa Verde is dirty. There is not a lot of evidence so far, but here is what it's based on.

1. How are his plans on expansion moving so fast?

2. The way he always treats Kim is very nice. Maybe it's too nice. It's starting to be a bit much.

3. Hank at one time showed where the blue meth had spread to. Kevin had a bank model for every state where Gus had blue meth. This could easily be written off because it's just the nearest surrounding states. It's interesting anyway.

The theory is that Kevin is able to expand his banking empire, because he is allowing a safe haven for either Gus or the cartel's money, or both.

It's interesting because there is a real life precedent for this in the real world. The banks in Miami during the cocaine days in the 80's were bursting at the seams with cash and they were looking the other way.

This is way too early to start a thread for a show that garners 5 pages of comments

It's a great show, but I'm amazed at the lack of interest

BCS has been a tedious watch

So far this season has been set up episodes. As soon as we get one of those crazy payoff episodes those threads will get busier.

This theory may very well be true, but the Mesa Verde story line could also be nearing its end. Kim originally wanted to represent the bank because she thought they were a perfect fit for each other. A small bank that needed personalized representation.

The bank’s plans have quickly gone from a couple of branches in a neighboring state, to large scale expansion across several states.

A lot of things are occurring to propel Kim to reevaluate her life and career. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kim walks away from MV in the next couple of episodes and we never hear from them again.

Also, they could pop up again in season 6 with a scene of Kevin from Mesa Verde personally handling a huge cash deposit from Gus.

That’s interesting. Could be a tie in somehow.

I know I have been heavy handed about my theory on Kim, but here is more evidence she is not going to remain clean.

This is a pic from the last episode while she was looking at the models. What do you see?

Last post from me on the Kim/ Saul situation, but this is from the episode from two weeks before. The dead giveaway that this is an Easter egg is the horrible framing. Hamlin was not the sole concern when this image was framed. If you were a photographer with two weeks experience and internet access you would not frame your subject this way. There are two subjects. Hamlin and the statue.

Kim's apartment/Saul's office

Alright, time to give this thread a bump.

What could Jimmy's new endeavor be? I'm going to take a wild guess. Last episode Jimmy seemed annoyed by the vet's lack of ability to close the deal on getting him a burglar.

I think maybe Jimmy thinks he can do that job better than the vet. This would also lay the groundwork for the Saul Goodman law firm. Saul Goodman always knows a guy.

I think Jimmy is about to start creating his network of various criminals.


What bridge is Mike about to burn? Here are the candidates.

1. Gus- not likely based on the future.

2. His daughter in-law- could be because their relationship is strained in BB. If so I hope this goes quick because yawn.

3. Lydia- He seems to annoy her, but I think they will be okay for the same reasons as Gus.

4. Nacho- This seems the most likely to me. I think now that Gus owns Nacho and Mike works for Gus this could be a bad combo.

I do think at some point Mike with the help of Jimmy/Saul will get Nacho Hoovered out of town, probably without Gus's knowledge.

I posted screenshots from the last couple of episodes and left it at that. I'm not bringing it up again unless something happens tonight. If that's too much for you to handle just keep scrolling.

kim almost had a panic attack looking at all of the models. I think she sees the next ten years of her life doing work she hates represented by those models

I've seen it in some of the other episode threads, but whatever.
