welcome to the J-K=S faction
kim helps jimmy create and polish the saul persona. But saul is more or less self-sufficient in BB and does not have kim working in the background all along.

What was the objective with Mike cracking nachos safe then replacing it with a duplicate?

---

they knew someone working on behalf of the salamancas was going to go to nacho's place and break into his safe. So they left the envelope with the hotel phone number in the safe so that whoever found it (bolsa) would know nacho's location.

Did he remove nachos dads card? So that when the other crew came hit the safe they didn’t see it?

---

yeah, mike this whole time has been very adamant abotu not involving the dad.

Peter and Vince crushed this. We are in for a hell of a ride.

So Mike took the dad’s ID (I get that.) but left the envelope with the paperwork on where Nacho was located after he spoke up to Gus on Nacho’s loyalty/behalf. Why did he sell Nacho out? Force from Gus? Traded out the dad’s safety for Nacho’s?

Interested to see the tipping point that turns a sort of well meaning doofus with inadequacy issues that likes to cut corners into a truly horrible individual willing to accept and even encourage people getting killed to cover his arse. The guy that felt so bad at two pretty shady people getting a well deserved scare that he gave them a stack of cash is pretty far from the Breaking Bad Saul Goodman.

I think we also need to keep in mind that Saul also evolved during the BB timeline as the money and danger got bigger. I don’t think he was the same Saul at the end that we were introduced to in season 2 of BB.

I get what you're saying, but that's not entirely true. BB Saul had a couple of moments where he showed some decency.

You could tell he was bothered when Jesse wouldn't go in to see Brock. He tried to talk him into it.

At one point he was trying to talk Walt and Jesse into taking their money and getting out, which would hurt his bottom line.

99% of the time he is a scumbag, but the human side did come through every now and then.

Definitely think he and Kim have some sort of falling out, as opposed to her dying.

Kim seems to really be giving Saul the side eye everytime he uses some of the cartel money so it doesn't seem like they're drawing her up to ever be onboard with being part of that life.

She does borderline or even flat out unethical things but her motivation is to have the freedom to do pro bono work as her full time job whereas Saul Goodman and Associates definitely do not seem to be heavy into pro bono work.

So, it seems like there is some break coming up between the two of them to fully push Jimmy into becoming Saul. I just have no idea what it could be or how we get there.

Or maybe Saul is using some of his fees from laundering drug money to fund Kim's dream pro bono practice. Doubtful but who knows.

So Kim's tequila topper was at Saul's house, he wouldn't have brough that there presumably so she is at least with him/around long enough for him to get enough money and move in to that house.
