Netflix says “New episode coming Tuesday.”

It’s to show how poorly Jimmy fits in even if he were to quit crossing ethical lines. The partners want it that way and want it that way consistently regardless of correctness or who is doing the work.

That would explain why Davis and Main have a really beautiful Santa Fe style office, but a company sign that looks like it was copied from a stock Vistaprint business card template. Every time I see that logo it looks so out of place. So ugly. One of the partners must really like it.

AMC’s currently running a mini-marathon of the first 6 episodes of season two.  
_ **"Cobbler"** _ is on right now.  
Guess this will lead into tonight’s new episode

As I re-watch **"Cobbler"** I see that Erin made her first appearance at the board room meeting over the Sandpiper Case

Per [IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2080924/), “Erin” has made 5 appearances this season thru _Bali Hai_.

BTW, Rebecca was played by [Ann Cusak](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193639/) (sister of …). She’s appeared in a wide variety of your standard hour long dramas but without getting the attention of her more famous siblings.

What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

> That’s why I think Mike will say “yes” to Hector and hire Jimmy for a perfect bluff where they’ll actually lose the case while pretending to achieve otherwise, and Tuco stays in jail.

The only problem with this theory is that if Tuco were to serve the time that both Mike and Hector have said he logically would - eight years, maybe ten - he’s not out of prison in time to appear in the events of “Breaking Bad,” when, in Season 1, he is well established as a major player in the drug business. That series of events definitively begins around 2008-2009, and what we are seeing doesn’t appear to be as far back as 1998-1999.

One way or another, Tuco cannot go to prison for that long. Precisely what role Mike will play in that we do not yet know.
