Written and directed by series co-creator Peter Gould, "Marco" aired on AMC in the United States on April 6, 2015.
Kim Wexler calls Jimmy to report the Sandpiper case has grown too big for HHM, requiring them to partner with Davis & Main.
This episode was written and directed by series co-creator Peter Gould, who also wrote "Uno" and "Mijo" earlier this season.
During the montage of scams, Marco speaks the line, "Hey, kid, help me get my wife's car out of this bad neighborhood."
This is a reference to the Breaking Bad episode "Abiquiu", where Saul (Jimmy) tells Walter White, "I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.
The finale brought us to the moment where Jimmy made the decision to abandon his attempt to walk a righteous path and, instead, give over to his baser drives and desires.
On the whole, though, this was a gorgeously designed and executed episode; one that leaves enough room for – what we hope will be – an equally extraordinary second season.
