Meanwhile, Chuck's brother, Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), meets potential legal clients and eventually finds business soliciting from an assisted living facility.
After a fruitless day, Jimmy visits Mrs. Strauss, an elderly woman who collects Hummel figurines, one of which is a rare and valuable Alpine Shepherd Boy.
