Kim Wexler has fully found herself.
Thats what the fifth season ofBetter Call Saulwas all about.
She cleared her schedule for it.
Theyre outlaws and rogues his kind of people.
(Am I alone in thinking that Lady Liberty looks like melted-wax Adam Scott?)
The difference is Saul exploits the system, not his clients.
Nevertheless, Jimmy knows the Kettlemans well enough to work them over to perfection.
Theyre short-conning the Kettlemans to long-con Cliff to longer-con Howard.
Its not enough for Kim to leave it at that.
Offering them cash to keep from blabbing to Howard is not enough to get the job done.
They both operate on the margins of the law, but she draws lines he cannot.
And it doesnt matter to Gus how loyal Nacho has been in helping carry out the attempted assassination.
But Mike draws lines that Gus cannot.
Mike believes Nacho deserves to be made whole.
He believes Gus has a responsibility to extract him safely from Mexico.
And he believes that Gus should not use Nachos innocent father as a chess piece.
Needless to say, the Salamancas arent the sort to draw any lines, either.
As in the first season, Betsy Kettleman is furious at Jimmy for what hes done to her family.
Because of you, she says, we lost everything.
Our kids are in public school!
Leaving the audience waiting to figure outwhyis another big reason.
Hectors eyes tell him more than an autopsy report, dental records, and a site map.
