That's awesome. Is your friend's cousin a Hearst? Because he married Lydia Hearst, heiress to the Hearst publishing fortune. Anyone here ever been to Hearst Castle in California? Place is insane.

I think he had to have his entire house rewired (or significant parts of it) to get back online. Probably happened then inadvertently or there is some other innocuous explanation. I don't chalk this up to some conspiracy by mike and Jimmy.
I assume that the smoke/fire detectors were hard wired in so they couldn't be disabled by a brraker

Yeah, **** him. Especially for being known as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, and just a general, all-around hard worker who built a super successful media brand from nothing.
I think he's a wiener now. I used to like his Podcast, but he's really bought into his own bull**** the last couple years. Not everything in life is some ethereal and/or deep moment, but you'd never know listening to Hardwick.
I thought about a smoke or carbon monoxide detector being hard wired, that'd be ironic.
Speaking of detectors, some guys need to adjust those of the sarcasm variety.

So he is a son-in-law or nephew-in-law of Patty Hearst? I used to admire her, until I found out about that thing she did...
She wore white shoes after labor day.

Holy crap.
The scene where Chuck told Jimmy he never would really cared about him was maybe the best 10 seconds of the whole series.
It was s big scene, surprised they didn't do more with the impact on jimmy. He strolled out and went back to caring about Kim and fixing damage to Irene . Seemed a little out of character but I'll allow it
I'd say arranging the scene to fix things for Irene, giving up a million bucks in the meantime, and ruining any chance at senior law when he gets back is a big impact.
I thought that was due to Kim's accident, not what his brother said. Seemed to be way more focus on his caring for Kim, but it could have been a combination.
I thought Mike wrapped up perfectly last episode so it wasn't needed here, too much other stuff to happen. He is now tied to two of the biggest swinging ***** in ABQ (outside the Cartel) with his money laundering and found out Gus isn't some petty drug dealer.
As for the electric meter, it would seem pretty easy that the rewiring Chuck had to get done to continue his charade at getting better would have been the culprit. Mike just fixed a door and took photos. Pretty sure one of the pictures was the breaker boxes totally stripped out.
Maybe Badger was the electrician's helper and screwed something up.
My favorite line was when he told Erin good job and she said she meant every word of it.

I think Erin is kind of cute in a pudgy, nerdy, preachy, overachiever sort of way.

The kind of chick you take home from the bar and grudge fook the **** out of them..... Then never call her back
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
You know, I was kind of surprised. All in all less bad things happened than I thought. No distancing from Kim's clients, at least initially. Thought Nacho's dad would get killed or something. Jimmy also reunited Irene with her friends by playing the (rightful) bad guy.
The stuff with chuck sort of made me think of the telltale heart in a way. something in the walls driving him insane. I also wonder if we'll get a depressed, lazy Kim next season. Seemed like she was sort of spiraling downwards with her pushing everything back and wanting to just watch movies.

Well, he was initially trying to make it right in a low key manner that wouldn't take himself down after Kim's accident. Then he meets with Chuck (which was motivated by Kim's accident), and Chuck's speech about how he destroys everyone around him is what I thought hit home and motivated him to take the nuclear step to fix Irene's situation.Complete Idiot said:DannyDuberstein said:Complete Idiot said:oragator said:

Good point, that could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back for Jimmy to Saul even though both exist currently. When Chuck tells him flat out "it's what you do, you destroy people". Saul is going to distance himself from Kim (get rid of the office) so he doesn't take her down too, his way "of fixing it". So he logically gets involved in the shadier clients because not only does it mesh, but does it really matter in the long run when he tears things down? Plus he makes an ass load of money doing it.
I don't think Jimmy forfeited his share of Sandpiper case. He just went nuclear on his clientele and business model in order to fix the mess he made.
Yeah, I'm not sure if he was technically forfeiting his share, but I would imagine his behavior is going to bite him in the ass to where he loses it.
The biggest unresolved issue is how Jimmy gets capital for his new practice. Surely someone like Chuck had an estate plan and wouldn't have the only copy of it in his house that's now burned down.
Well as it stands right now jimmy will still get the sandpiper money, right? Just further down the road than he was initially going to get it.

Correct. And don't forget that Hamlin said they were confident they could get a lot more than what Jimmy was trying to get them to settle for, so in theory the amount will eventually be much greater than the $1+ million Jimmy thought he was getting...it will just take a lot longer to get it.
Would be awesome if the Sandpiper storyline is completely absent from Season 4, then the series ends after Season 5 with the final shot being Saul racing out of his office to go meet the "repair man" and disappear forever followed by a few seconds of stillness...then a courier pulls up with his $5 million settlement check that would have set him up for life had he never gotten involved with Walt.
Any possibility that Jimmy ends up suing HHM over Chuck's share of the business? Only Chuck and Howard were in the room when that went down (it seemed there wasn't any paperwork). That could crank up the tension between those two entities next season.
Awesome finale to an awesome season! Random thoughts:
I thought Chuck was lying when he said Jimmy didn't matter, evidenced by the flashback at the beginning and when he looked up after Jimmy left the room
Legit LOLed at Kim and Fran going to Blockbuster
Gus definitely saw Nacho swap the pills. If not, he definitely noticed that Hector spilled pills all over the ground and Nacho handed the paramedics a full container
Oddly enough, I kind of forgot about Mike completely. His story was the best part of season 2 but honestly the Jimmy/Chuck/Kim/Howard stuff was more intriguing in Season 3
It was pretty funny how many people on Reddit didn't get that Jimmy intentionally left the yoga microphone on

Chuck was definitely lying. He was just trying to hurt Jimmy as much as possible.
Gus clearly saw Nacho for who he was. Gus hasn't figured it all out yet, but he has to realize that Nacho did something with the pills and did nothing to save Hector. I don't know if Gus will see this as a good thing or a bad thing.

Nacho has really become a pretty great ancillary character

Jimmy clearly matters to Chuck because his symptoms got much worse everytime he was involved with Jimmy. When he gets upset, he gets more sensitive to electricity.
I cracked up when Howard gave Chuck a 3 million dollar GTFO check. Dude is a bankroller.

I'm going to miss this thread almost as much as the show. Detailed discussions of telephone call transferring techniques, residential electrical wiring practices and legal analysis have become my Tuesday-Sunday staple.
Wondering if Chuck cashed the check before he went bye-bye.

This season failed in the disclosing the critical details of how the bag man transferred the drop off to Saul at Los Pollos Hermanos
(I still say he swept it into the enclosed dust bin)
A big firm like HHM would probably have a pretty big life insurance policy on a partner. The $9 mil buy out. Chuck's estate...
Would be poetic if Chuck's death ends up pushing HHM out of the red and giving Jimmy enough cash to go full Saul.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I'd actually like to know what led to Chuck's condition. It's been so heavily used as a plot device (up to and including his presumed death) and one can assume via Chuck's past successes and relationships that he was normal at some point. I'm guessing that a disorder such as his doesn't just "happen" out of nowhere.
Pretty sure the trigger was his supposedly amicable divorce. Jimmy helped him cover it up when Chuck's ex wife came for dinner.
I think that basically destroyed him and the perfect life/career he had achieved.

Does anyone at HHM even know about the buyout? Could Hamlin act like it never happened and not pay Chuck's estate the $9 million? It's a law firm, so I assume they required Chuck to sign a release, etc, but that wasn't shown at all. He just took the check and walked out.

<tin foil hat>
Hamlin caused the electrical "leak" knowing it would send Chuck over the deep end. Then he planned to go in and retrieve the check....but it burned up so even better.
