At this point in the show, many of you are waiting for it to pick up the pace, but I think this show will take its time spinning its wheels before the race starts, and I have no problem with that. This episode we get more signs of Jimmy being uncomfortable with his new life, and ends up revisiting his old office to get some peace. We also see that Kim is out of doc review but Howard is not happy (I still don't know why, but I'm hoping its revealed soon). No Chuck this episode, but he had a huge character development last episode so he's taking a break.
The title of this episode is the title of a song that Jimmy apparently sings to Kim on voice-mail to keep in touch with her and gain her forgiveness; this foreshadows the possibility that they might get back together in this episode which does end up happening and I was happy to see that result, but not before they once again pull another fun scam on someone at the bar by reigniting their pseudo-personalities (or in Jimmy's case, his real personality).
The show is just giving the viewers a taste of both lifestyles(Jimmy being slipping Jimmy and Kim as Giselle) for Jimmy and Kim, and speaking of lifestyles, Kim's lifestyle is about to change after that surprising job offer from the opposing counsel in the Sandpiper case. This brings me to the ending, I feel the show has created a reversal of both Jimmy and Kim's past circumstances. Before, Jimmy was free from HHM and very happy, but he took the Davis and Main job for Kim and now hes not very happy. Kim is now in that similar situation but reversed; She was not happy at HHM but now she has a chance to be happy at Schweikart and Cokely, but shes hesitant because she feels that she forced Jimmy into taking the Davis and Main job and hes not happy so why should she be with this new job. But Jimmy also takes the high road to selflessness and assures Kim that he loves his job and she should also love her potential new job. Final scene with the car was Jimmy making amends to make Kim happy.
Mike's story moved forward a little in this episode, there was a brilliant scene with the dark apartment searching and the two wannabe thugs getting their ass beat by old Mike, but we also learned something important in that segment near the end when Mike was cleaning the blood; his hand was shaking. This could suggest that Mike is scared of whats to come or hes not fit for this life of defending himself against thugs. Mike ends up taking the deal because once again hes scared of putting Kayley and her mom in harm's way, but he ends up getting more money than before and this was because he offered half of it to Nacho for compensation of his unfinished business. This was very noble and fair by Mike, he never takes more than what he deserves (this was also seen in Season 1 when he didn't take the millions from the Kettleman business).
All in all, another slow but interesting episode that moved the plot and character development forward. For the many that are fed up with the slow pace, this show might not be your taste, but as long as I get a good finish to this slow race, I will be more than satisfied.
