Kim and Jimmy’s fight on top of the parking garage is especially hard to watch because we’ve just gotten used to the pair being back in sync. Jimmy accuses her of kicking a man while he’s down, and Kim coldly, yet accurately replies “Jimmy, you are always down.” Jimmy accuses Kim of only seeing him as Slippin’ Jimmy, but truthfully, that’s how he sees himself and it’s how he always has, especially after his falling out with Chuck. It’s such a sudden and unwarranted outburst at Kim that she fires back without mercy, rightfully demonstrating all of the ways that she’s supported Jimmy throughout the course of the series. When Jimmy relays the news to Kim in a rage, he immediately displaces his lingering anger at Chuck onto Kim, unloading all of his insecurities about his legitimacy as a lawyer and returning to the idea that Kim doesn’t want to practice law in the same office as him. The committee chalks the snub up as a lack of sincerity, which is fair considering Jimmy’s ever-going Eddie Haskell routine, but it’s still a shocking conclusion for everyone involved. Clearly they were fishing for a Chuck reference, but Jimmy denied them of it just as he’s been denying his own complicated feelings regarding his brother’s death. What he doesn’t do, however, is mention his deceased brother at all, which is particularly glaring when he’s asked if anything or anyone in particular influenced his view of the law. ![]() That confidence is justified Jimmy absolutely nails his interview, coming across as thoughtful and down-to-earth while demonstrating his greatest skill as a lawyer, his compassion for his clients. ![]() ![]() Jimmy waltzes into his reinstatement interview just as confident as I was that he’d be free to practice law again.
