In the present, Jimmy goes to HHM to hand over the paperwork for the Sandpiper case, as well as Chuck's accommodations, since [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS1E9Pimento he'll no longer be handling them]]. Both Howard and Kim are impressed by Jimmy's dedication to his brother and his calm, matter-of-fact demeanor. He has a breakdown over Chuck while calling bingo at Sandpiper Crossing, explaining the full story of the "Chicago Sunroof". Back in Cicero, a very drunk Jimmy defecated through the sunroof of a man who had wronged him. Unfortunately, Jimmy didn't notice that Chet's kids were in the backseat, trumping up the charges for what otherwise would have been a misdemeanor. Jimmy would have faced jail time and ended up on the sex offender registry if Chuck hadn't stepped in, and now he feels he's been "paying for it ever since."

* ConsummateProfessional: Mike's stated reason for not helping himself to any of the Kettlemans' embezzled money back in "Bingo" is simply that he was hired to do a job, therefore he only did exactly what he was told to do. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Jimmy would have faced jail time and ended up on the sex offender registry if Chuck hadn't stepped in, and now he feels he's been "paying for it ever since." Jimmy abruptly leaves and returns to his home town of Cicero, where he meets Marco at the same bar Jimmy left before. Jimmy awkwardly mentions that he visited Cicero for his mother's funeral without meeting Marco, to his disappointment. Jimmy's agreement to do an involved con with Marco involving a "rare" half-dollar coin leads to a extravagant week of scams.

At Marco's apartment, Jimmy finally reveals he's a lawyer, and he has responsibilities to his clients in Albuquerque. Although impressed by the idea of "Slippin' Jimmy" becoming a lawyer, Marco insists they do the Rolex scam one more time before he goes. Everything goes smoothly until Jimmy pokes Marco, who doesn't stir. Jimmy calls an ambulance while their mark runs off with Marco's money. Marco suddenly stirs awake, peacefully telling Jimmy before he dies that "this was the greatest week of my life."

** When Jimmy needs to tell Marco that he needs to go back to being a lawyer in Albuquerque, Marco's astonished that Slippin' Jimmy's become a lawyer and imagines him driving a white Cadillac and making tons of money at this point. Jimmy says will take [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain a long time to build something like that]].

Added DiffLines:

* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: Waking up from their week of fun, Jimmy checks his phone and goes through voicemail messages of his elderly clients he promised to help. Remembering his responsibilities as a lawyer and still keeping Chuck in mind, he tells Marco he has to go back to Albuquerque. Seemingly, however, it's also {{Defied|Trope}} at the last moment, when he turns his back on a chance to work on Sandpiper with Davis & Main.
