** Back in season one, Jimmy explictly notes to the injured twins that he talked them down from a brutally cruel death sentence to a "six months probation", boasting "im the best lawyer ever" while still shocked and traumatized from the violence. Ironically, the one person on earth who is even worse than Tuco, has reached the exact same conclusion, through the same train of thought and even makes a very similar remark, while using it as an argument to hire Jimmy even against his will.

* DirtyBusiness: Mesa Verde has to evict an old man who refuses to vacate land that they have purchased for their new call center. There is no dastardly conspiracy to steal the man's land and the bank is legally and even ethically in the right. However, Kim still feels like crap for having to force an old man to leave the home he lived in for 30+ years.

There is nothing ethical about taking a man's home, regardless of legal justification for doing so.

* AsYouKnow: During the initial confrontation between Everett Acker and Kim, Acker says that his house and land are his by virtue of adverse possession (often referred to as 'Squatter's Rights', a legal principle where someone who does not officially own a piece of land or property can become the legal owner by owning it in practice for a long period of time). Kim immediately counters that Acker attempted to argue that in court already and lost, which Acker obviously is well aware of, so the dialogue mostly serves to make it clear to the audience that Mesa Verde is acting legally and ethically in taking Acker's property, and that the courtroom part of the dispute has already been settled.

* ResolvedNoodleIncident: Hank and Saul's [[Recap/BreakingBadS2E8BetterCallSaul first scene together]] on ''Breaking Bad'' indicated they'd dealt with one another before (and neither party liked the other much). We finally get to see that first meeting here.

* BribeBackfire: Saul attempts to offer a ridiculously high price for his services to prevent himself from getting involved with Lalo's cartel business. Unfortunately, Lalo has more than enough cash to cover that cost, and so simply pays Saul in full.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Played with. Upon getting the joke of Saul's PunnyName, Hank (and Gomez) have a good chuckle...before proceeding to mock it.
Added DiffLines:
* PunnyName: Hank instantly gets the joke of Saul's name. It also makes him the ''only'' character in the entire franchise to immediately realize the pun off the bat.
