Plot
The episodes started some time in the past, as Jimmy and an unknown friend left the bar. In the alley, they find a wallet with cash, and nearby a drunken man who is barely conscious. The companion took cash, and Jimmy took his Rolex watch and estimated the value more than his wallet, leading his companion to redeem the money he earned plus his own extra money in return for the hour. After the colleague took off, it was revealed that the whole incident was a fraud organized by Jimmy and the "unconscious" man. The two then return to Jimmy's residence and congratulate each other.
Currently, Kettlemans offers Jimmy a bribe if he does not reveal they stole $ 1.6 million. Jimmy instead gave them the option of hiring him as their lawyer, but Kettlemans refused. The next day, Jimmy thanked Mike for his help in solving the difficulty. After Nacho was released from police custody, he accused Jimmy of warning Kettlemans and said he would face "consequences." Jimmy denied by implying that he warned the family for the sake of the children, and that given Nacho's carelessness he should be grateful for any warning because it saved him.
Back to his office at the salon, it was revealed that Jimmy took Kettlemans bribes. Jimmy cooks his books to look like money is a legitimate expense for his services and spends money on makeovers and billboard ads that share a clear and intentional similarity with law firm Chuck, Hamlin Hamlin & McGill, maybe out of spite. Kim confronts Jimmy on imitation, and Howard Hamlin takes Jimmy to court over trademark infringement, where he is ordered to remove the ad within 48 hours.
After failing to convince every news outlet to cover up his difficulties as a human interest story, Jimmy arranges for video requests, calls for sympathy for the situation, using freelance media teams. During filming, however, the worker removes the ad slip and falls, which is held only by his harness. Jimmy pulls the worker into a safe place while watches and public records. It was revealed that the accident was staged by Jimmy as a publicity stunt. Howard and Kim, watching the news, look through the hoax instantly. Due to his new popularity, Jimmy received many new consultations.
Jimmy visits Chuck, but hides a newspaper that reports "help" so Chuck does not see it. Chuck congratulated Jimmy on his new success, but was unaware of his actions. Chuck noticed that one of his daily newspapers was missing, which Jimmy had crossed out. After Jimmy leaves, the suspicious Chuck painstakingly rushes to his neighbor's house and collects their newspaper, where Chuck reads about the action.
