Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jimmy’s client outreach efforts succeed, and he exhibits new heights of showmanship; Mike is puzzled by Stacey’s upsetting news.

Our Take

A slower, quieter hour that spends most of its time on Jimmy’s sales pitches, and Bob Odenkirk makes the repetitiveness work through sheer charm. The Mike subplot feels thin this week, more setup than story. Worth watching for the character work, even if not much actually happens until the final scenes.
