Spoilers ahead for the midseason finale ofBetter Call Saul.
Theres no coming back from that.
But inevitably,they make choices that drag them back down.

The first image of the manhole cover is shot as if the camera is resting on the street itself.
Its exactly what Jimmy used to do to his brother.

You want him to serve on the board of a scholarship committee?
A scholarship that Chuck never in a million years wouldve given to Jimmy.
Both Howard and Chuck have disrespected Jimmy and, to a lesser extent, Kim.
They dont merely want to knock Howard down a peg or two, as Howard puts it.
They want what theyve always wanted: justice.
Things happen in Plan and Execution that seem orchestrated to make us remember that argument between Kim and Howard.
When Kim met with Howard to discuss Chucks estate, her arm was broken and in a sling.
