It’s a phrase so completely, unquestionably Saul Goodman that it feels appropriate it would be presented in an episode that gives us our first real glimpse of Saul in this series’ present-day action.
And it does that — at least, briefly. In the hour’s opening moments, she explains — like a lawyer negotiating a contract — that what she matters most to her isn’t justice, but open communication. If Jimmy provides full disclosure, she believes, the rest will sort itself out. When the two are in bed together that night — with a full day’s work sandwiched between the wedding and this non-honeymoon — he at first opts against telling her that Lalo is his client.
But Kim isn’t the main character in a show about banking and real estate law. She’s the romantic partner and conscience of the main character on a show about losing your moral compass and breaking as badly as anyone in this universe not called Heisenberg can. As Jimmy tells her about Lalo and his offer, it’s as if the walls between the two halves of the show have crumbled before her eyes, and for the first time she’s getting a look at what’s been happening the rest of the time.
Odds are that things with Lalo and the cartel won’t go as smoothly as he presents it to Jimmy in the courtroom. But at minimum, it reframes Saul and Walt’s relationship as a do-over for Saul, rather than his first attempt at playing on this level. And if Peter Gould and the other writers don’t already know how they’re going to reconcile what Saul does and doesn’t know about Mike and Gus, I imagine they’ll figure it out before the series finale.
Like Jimmy, Lalo is fond of schemes and comfortable working under assumed names, like his forged identity as Jorge DeGuzman.
