In the opening, there was a literal black line between Jimmy and Kim, even when in the same room. Kim is gorgeous even brushing her teeth.
Good use of music - Ex. Breeders on the car radio.
Jimmy - "Aspen"! Kim - "that was something". Why she hasn't kicked Jimmy all the way to the curb is a real mystery.
Gus knows Hector has recovered just enough, so that he can torment him like a cat does with a mouse.
Is Mike going to take the Germans to Tijuana?

Mike said 8 months and there were dates on Jimmy's parole reports. I'm assuming they'll match up. Something like April 2003 to Jan 2004.
Another episode with lots to unpack even though not a ton is happening.
Kim is clearly getting pulled in by Jimmy. She hardly seemed phased when she found out he was selling the cell phones. You'd think that'd be a big breach of trust. Then to have the prosecutor call Jimmy a scumbag loser and then Kim hatching an idea to get Hule off. I'm guessing this is when we finally start to see Jimmy's bad influence rub off and Kim's downfall begins. She's gonna disgrace herself or do something that she feels immense guilt over and then do something to jeopardize her job at the new law firm.
I'm curious where the Mike and the Germans story is going. I don't think them building the meth lab is on its own important. It's a story that just doesn't need to be told. So I have to believe that there is something more coming here. The Germans or the lab or Gale, something has to bring this story forward and let us finally have the "aha" moment when we see why they've spent so much time on something so inconsequential. There's no way the whole storyline is just fan service and they'll get to the end and all we got out of it is that the meth lab is built, Mike made a friend and some of the workers are dbags.
One thing that's interesting about the Kim/Jimmy dynamic is that they seem more like friends than a couple in love. The show never shows them being overly affectionate, I can't ever recall them saying "i love you" to each other. It's to the point where I'm not even sure if they're supposed to be in a romantic relationship. They're like roomates that sleep in the same bed. If they didn't show us them sleeping in the same bed, I actually would have just assumed they were nothing more than roommates. I think Jimmy putting her toothpaste on for her was about the most couply thing they've done.
