Sometimes, you have to meet people where they live.

Yes, thats literally true when Jimmy trespasses past Mr. Ackers gate and raps on his front door.

This is Jimmys specialty, more so than his scrappy persistence or silver-tongued solicitousness.

Hes always gotten people.

Namaste starts off fancifully enough for Jimmy and Kim.

Jimmy brushes it off, putting the onus on her landlords to tend to their mess.

Kim, unsurprisingly, sweeps the glass up herself, ever eager for a clean slate.

Lyle is, through no fault of his own, bearing the brunt of Guss muted frustrations.

Only then is Lyles work deemed acceptable.

You get the sense that Hank feels no different about the DEAs haul.

Until then, beers on him!

Howard, meanwhile, might never know who vandalized his sweet ride with a minor armada of bowling balls.

Jimmy didnt see through it at first.

(That, and a drug-distributing family keeping him on the side of more unsavory business.)

He presses and pleads for the chance to atone, but she can pick up on the act.

So, he returns to the scene of last weeks street-thug beatdown, ready to take his licks.

Its another telegraphed scene of self-loathing, right up until a knife plunges into his side.

The time for peace is through.

Apart From All That

Jimmys little longhair switcheroo in court?Not unprecedented.

MoreBCSfun with numbers, courtesy of Tucumcari lots 1102 and 2375.

Think writer-director Gordon Smith is so good with banking jargon because he shares aname with this guy?

Maybe whoever named Howards judge/golfing buddy Ian Lawloris a footy fan?
