They didn't directly show that law enforcement was after him, but he bugged out because of his connections to Walt/Heisenberg. He knew damn well the feds would make that connection, and would figure out his criminal involvement with Walt, Jesse, Mike, and Gus.
IMO, there is no going back for Jimmy/Saul.
To address Jimmy's scheme to redeem Irene. Hey, that rhymes! Anyways, I think they tried to illustrate that no matter what Jimmy would say to the women they would just think he is a good person that has a soft spot for Irene. Although he was telling the truth, he had built up a lie so well that he would never be able to reason them back into the truth. I think his only recourse was to trick them back into the truth.
I don't think Chuck intentionally meant to knock the lantern off. From what I was interpreting, Chuck was overwhelmed with guilt regarding his "you never really mattered that much to me" comment. His mental health quickly regressed, and he was 'zoned out', for lack of a better term. The kicking was a coping mechanism kind of tick while completely locked in his illness.
And I don't think he's dead.
