Jimmy enters the money from the Kettlemans in his accounts as a retainer so it appears to be a legitimate payment. He spends the money on a personal makeover that imitates Howard Hamlin's appearance and a billboard advertisement that shares obvious similarities with Hamlin Hamlin & McGill.
Better Call Saul season 6 brought back season 1 characters the Kettlemans, and in a surprising move, they end up receiving money from Jimmy. Caution: SPOILERS for Better Call Saul season 6, episode 2.
Jimmy enlists Mike's help, and Mike sprays a fluorescent liquid on cash taken from Jimmy's bribe, which he plants outside the Kettleman house. The Kettlemans find it, assume it came from the embezzled money, and add it to the rest of the cash in their hiding place.
He did it to help Kim. As much as he'd have liked the notoriety of representing them, and the money he could charge them for doing so, he didn't want to see Kim hurt, especially while he stood to benefit from her loss.
They end up at HHM where Kim puts in an incredible effort to get Craig's jail time reduced from decades to 16 months but Betsy rejects even that. The whole Kettleman saga of delusion doesn't end until Jimmy finally comes up with one of his more brilliant schemes.
Kettleman is the husband of Betsy Kettleman and the father of Warren and Jo Jo Kettleman. He was a treasurer for Bernalillo County who embezzled $1.6 million, and is trying to flee away his conviction while mostly getting help from his wife. He and Betsy currently own the company Sweet Liberty Tax Services.
Unnerved by Nacho's plan to rob the Kettlemans of the $1.6 Craig Kettleman embezzled as county treasurer, Jimmy makes an anonymous call warning them of the impending house invasion. It comes back to haunt him when he learns that the entire Kettleman family has been kidnapped and that Nacho is under arrest.
Irene has refused because the lawyers have advised her they believe they can get Sandpiper to offer more. Jimmy stands to receive $1.16 million, and tries to persuade Howard Hamlin to accept, but Howard refuses. Howard and Chuck McGill meet with their malpractice insurance agents.
At the end of his four-hour shift, his supervisor credits Jimmy with only thirty minutes. Jimmy shoots a commercial for a reclining chair store but the owner declines Jimmy's offer to shoot more.
Following an unsuccessful attempt from Jimmy to use a “carrot” approach (bribing the pesky Kettlemans) Kim intentionally opts for a much more heavy-handed “stick” method. She takes it a step further by threatening to turn them into the IRS during her ruthless intimidation.
When he's alone in his future office, pondering his altruistic actions, Jimmy suddenly kicks the door in a rage. He just gave away $1.6 million. And since Kim regained the trust of her boss Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), she won't team with Jimmy and expand his law practice.
So, Juan Bolsa was behind the attempted hijacking of Lalo's $7 million in bail cash. At least, that is what Gus has concluded after talking to the elegant, even-tempered señor. The question is, why? Here's why, according to Gus: “He was trying to protect his business by protecting our business.”
At the police station, Jimmy tells Nacho that witnesses have placed him in the van parked outside the Kettleman house, and that blood was found in the van when the police searched it. Nacho maintains his innocence, saying that he watched the house but did not kidnap the Kettlemans.
Lalo tasked Jimmy with picking up the $7 million in bail money, believing he's the perfect guy for the job. Jimmy's task was the focus of this week's episode, "Bagman." Meeting the cousins in the middle of the desert to get the money sounds easy enough on-paper, but nothing's that simple in the Breaking Bad universe.
To quickly recap, Jimmy/Saul has had his license suspended due to criminal charges he faced for breaking into his older (now deceased) more successful brother Chuck's home to destroy audio recordings of Jimmy confessing to manufacturing evidence.
Chuck is semi-reclusive and believes that he suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. He was amicably divorced from Rebecca Bois, who was unaware of his EHS, a few years before the events of Better Call Saul.
While Jimmy previously gave John his word he would stop rodeo riding, he says once he recovers he will continue his newfound passion, breaking his promise. Instead of leaving Jimmy to his own accord to navigate rodeo life, John sends him out with horse trainer Travis.
John is disappointed with Jimmy as he had previously given him his word that he wouldn't take part in rodeo riding again. However, as Mia was eager for her boyfriend to not give up, Jimmy broke his promise to his boss.
Drunk, Jimmy decides to poop through the sun roof onto the white leather interiors of the car. Unfortunately, Chets kids were in the backseat. He gets the DA to charge Jimmy with indecent exposure and threatens to have him listed as a sex offender. So ends the story.
decided to agree to the offer that the Sandpiper Crossing clients offered to the residents, meaning that Jimmy and Kim did indeed win.
One of the subplots of the show follows Chuck's obsessive compulsive order (OCD), a mental illness where people suffer from intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
When Jimmy realized that Irene was desperately sad and alone thanks to him, he faced a choice. He could ruin this woman's life, or he could fess up to what he'd done—and likely lose out on the $1.16 million. He chose to give up the money and rescue Irene's social life.
But the Kettlemans' return in the final season of Better Call Saul is more evidence that Kim's the real ruthless one when it comes to her and Saul. As a way to continue Clifford Main questioning Howard's professionalism, Saul goes to the Kettlemans to lure them with a carrot.
Believing Nacho has kidnapped them, Jimmy tries unsuccessfully to reach him by phone. Jimmy is picked up by the police, who tell him they have arrested Nacho and that he has requested Jimmy as his lawyer. At the police station, Nacho admits to Jimmy that he surveilled the Kettlemans but denies kidnapping them.
Lalo is killed by Gus in the season six episode "Point and Shoot". Gordon Smith said it was considered for Mike to kill Lalo, but this idea was discarded in order to let the "biggest big bads" in the series – Gus and Lalo – come face to face.
