Howard Hamlin arrives to deliver groceries as Chuck McGill plays Gabriel Fauré's Sicilienne on his home piano.
Chuck says he is apprehensive about Jimmy McGill joining Davis & Main, which Howard says happened mostly through Kim Wexler's efforts.
Jimmy is hesitant to discuss Sandpiper client outreach but continues after silent encouragement from Kim.
Jimmy talks to them privately and fabricates a story about a failed gay love affair and the stealing of the baseball cards as revenge.
She asks him why he would threaten his legal career by committing a crime for a pro bono case.
Bob Odenkirk was said to have inspired the name of the episode and the fetish portrayed in the police interrogation room scene.
[3] Including DVR playback, the episode was watched by 4.373 million viewers and attained an 18-49 rating of 2.0.
Club gave the episode an A− rating, comparing the police scene to the bar scene from the previous episode, saying It’s the criminal defense equivalent of the Viktor-with-a-K con from the premiere, a web of pure fabrication that plays right into the police’s jaded worldview: People are sick; anything’s possible; it’s almost too crazy not to be real.
But to seal the deal, Jimmy buys some baked goods and films Daniel sitting on them.
[8] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix called the scene "the funniest Breaking Bad universe moment since Jesse thought Walt was going to build a robot, and the show sending a reassuring message that it will do just fine whenever the switch in Jimmy's office flips permanently to the Saul position.
I particularly loved the notion that as convincing as Jimmy was, the cops apparently ended the interview less than fully persuaded that a lover’s spat, and the aforementioned fetish, explained the home robbery of Daniel Wormald, the world’s most irritating naïf.
[...] And it’s worth pointing out that in deciding to help reclaim the cards only after Dan reveals some of them belonged to his dad, we catch a glimpse of the tragic father-and-son backstory we learned about Mike in Season One’s strongest episode.
