After the first episode back from the mid-season break took Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton) off the table, last week we saw Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) leave Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk). But could she be used against Jimmy? Only time will tell. Kim knows they’re bad for each other, and the blood on their hands from the murder of Howard Hamlin seems to be too much for her to handle. Especially after attending Howard’s memorial service and having to lie about his fictional cocaine addiction that she and Jimmy fabricated....
