I gotta say the last scene made me very happy. Hopefully we are headed for an action packed last 3 episodes to close the season. On a sidenote, I don't recall seeing Nacho in BB - was he? Good character...
have a theory as to why Mike went from not wanting to help Wormald make the deal with Nacho to getting himself involved, seemingly on the basis of talking to the Navy widow? Not sure what one had to do with the other.

I was going to ask the same thing. Also..I suspect the Navy widow's husband might be alive and connected to all of this somehow. Just a hunch
about what happened to her husband. Mike probably thought Nacho would kill Wormald this time and that Wormald's family would never know what really happened to him just like the widow's husband.

She mentioned how her husband died alone in the woods and not knowing how he died was a terrible feeling. My guess is that conversation brought up the emotions of knowing that good samaritan who Hector killed in the desert also disappeared from his family. It's now pushed Mike back towards getting even with Hector.

Almost wish we saw more of him. It's always great when him and Mike are interacting
The show has done a nice job of still making the Jimmy half interesting and just as compelling as the Mike half. Even though the later is more similar to BB. Not an easy task to keep us waiting this long for Saul and still keeping the audience interested in Jimmy. I'd read that they intended to turn him into Saul much sooner but decided to wait. I think it's been great
I agree, something the widow said made mike change his mind.
I thought Kim's reaction to screwing Chuck was over the top. She did Chuck a favor by exposing his phobia which is not real. He now has a chance to grow up.
Hecto is great, I agree. Are you sure he wasn't in BB? I thought he was.
I liked the scene with Jimmy and Kim in the restaurant
Jimmy was glaring at the guy flaunting his cash, and the guy yelling at the waiter, and saying they deserved to be conned. You can see his moral compass as Saul taking root - he's a conman at heart, but believes in only conning people who deserve it. Conversely, when the doofy film crew girl was trying to give him back the cash, he said no, bc he wouldn't con someone obliviously innocent like here.
Then the episode ends with Jimmy carrying out a vindictive con job to hurt Chuck. He's clearly well on his way to going full criminal - but a criminal with a conscience, just like Mikes become
You could also see the roots of an upcoming split with Kim - veering into the shady realm where Jimmy is comfortable is now bothering her moral code...which i suspect means she won't follow him down the path he's destined to go.
Continues to be an awesome show, just about the best on TV
I thought the last scene was a real turning point in....
the transition of Jimmy to Saul. There was no incentive for him to have put the screws to Chuck with his insurance company, outside of pure vindictiveness. He did it just because he could.

I don't think he was conning Chuck at the insurance company, his intention was to get his money back. I think the whole point of that scene was that Jimmys premium has now gone up 150%. Giving him more incentive to change his name and his law practice. I don't think he was trying to screw Chuck intentionally at that moment, but could be wrong.
I think he went to the insurance company in an earnest attempt
to get his money back, and then turned to revenge after they declined him. The combo of losing the premium, having his premiums go up considerably, and Kim feel remorse for how they treated Chuck caused him to snap. Jimmy's always had a bit of 'poor soul' in him, and when they refused to show him any sympathy he turned into a vindictive prick.

That's how I read that too. It's as if we're seeing his conscience slowly slipping away

Good theory.

I like this theory -
It really furrowed my brow at the time

If you need legal advice from Saul, wait twelve months and call 505.503.4455.
Got pills to sell. Call Nacho: 505.242.6087
"GIVE IT TO HIM"
Slams phone shut.

Hector was in Breaking Bad. Nacho was not - only alluded to, and in one instance.
