Editor’s note: This show is based on a character in “Breaking Bad.” It seems logical that there may be spoilers for “Breaking Bad.” DON’T GET MAD. You’ve been warned.

And…we’re back with the bad wigs– sometime in the mid-90s, I’d guess? Jimmy McGill is wearing a God-awful shirt, hanging with some guy he just met, and teaching him how to do a good wolf howl (apparently us chicks dig that; except not really). They’re walking along, talking about how they’re going to try their wolf howls on girls and how the chicks are just going to fall in line (it’s that easy, guys!), when they discover a wallet with a thousand bucks in it. They figure out that the wallet belongs to a man lying beside a trash container. The guy is deliriously drunk, so when Jimmy pokes him with a stick, he moans. He starts calling them buttholes and talking about how he’s going to roundhouse kick both of them before passing back out. Jimmy’s friend decides he’s just going to take the cash while Jimmy decides to take the guy’s watch. Jimmy dodges the guy’s questions about what kind of watch it is before finally admitting that it is a Rolex. The guy quickly arranges a trade: the cash for the Rolex and, when Jimmy hesitates, the guy throws in $500 from his own wallet, grabs the watch and hurries away. It’s a scam, of course! Jimmy and the passed-out drunk guy are in on it together – they just conned the guy out of $500 and all the guy got was a cheap, fake Rolex.

And credits…

We come back to the Kettlemans and Jimmy looking at the duffle bag full of money. Jimmy has them over a barrel, and they all know it. Betsy Kettleman (truly the brain trust of the Kettleman family, for my money anyway) offers Jimmy cash if he just pretends like he didn’t see them, but obviously, he can’t do that; he called Kim before he surprised them in their tent. Betsy still insists that there is some way he can make this right. Oh, and also: take some of their money. This is killing me, y’all. Jimmy is trying SO HARD to be good; you can literally see it in his eyes and face. He tells the Kettlemans that the only way he can take the money is if they consider it a retainer for his services. Betsy looks stunned. “But you’re the kind of lawyer guilty people hire,” she says. Then it’s Jimmy’s turn to look stunned and hurt, but he takes the money anyway. You knew he was going to, right? But, what he does with the money is pretty awesome…

First, he buys a custom suit. Then, he tries to convince one of the ladies at the nail and hair salon to color his hair blond. She is not having it, and he says, “OK. We’ll just Photoshop it. Give me some ringlets up top.” What exactly is Jimmy doing? Well, he has purchased and plastered a billboard with a picture of him looking eerily like Howard Hamlin, along with his initials done in the same font as Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. Something is up, y’all.

Hamlin is fit to be tied, so Kim makes an after-hours visit to Jimmy at the salon to deliver a cease and desist letter, along with a plea to leave Hamlin alone. (Did y’all notice Jimmy’s sweatshirt? It’s from his alma mater, the University of American Samoa.)

Jimmy isn’t going to give up, and we next see him in a judge’s chambers with Hamlin. The judge rules in Hamlin’s favor, and Jimmy has to take the billboard down. But, before he does that, he tries to pitch his story to the local news stations and newspapers, to no avail.

He hires a college camera crew to capture his story, and while they are filming it, a billboard worker falls. Jimmy swiftly climbs up on the billboard and saves the worker. It’s at that point — when the worker says, “Took ya long enough” — that we realize we’ve all been scammed by Slippin’ Jimmy. Everything — the custom suit, the hairstyle, the billboard — was a scam to get Jimmy some positive publicity, and sure enough, when he gets back to his closet of an office in the back of the nail salon, he has phone messages.

Only his brother sees through it all. Jimmy hides the newspaper from him, but in a sad and poignant moment, Chuck dons his space blanket, drops a dollar on a neighbor’s driveway and takes their newspaper. Upon reading the headline, he slumps in his space blanket and sighs.

I love a good caper, and this was masterful. When Betsy Kettleman told Jimmy that he was a lawyer for guilty people, you could see the wheels turning in his head on how he could fix that. One thing I admired about “Breaking Bad” was how everything that happened was for a reason. There were no random, throwaway lines or situations. “Better Call Saul” is the same way. Every scene is building up to something.

I can’t wait to see where it takes us.

Is “Better Call Saul” growing on y’all? Are you still reserving judgment or are you all in?
