Remember "Expenses" (an episode late in season 3)? The grimace on Jimmy's face as he walks out of Doreen Valco's office? Had Slippin' Jimmy just let slip to his brother Chuck's malpractice insurance company (Santa Rosa Insurance) that his brother was mentally ill? No slip, rather, an intentional sabotaging of an otherwise brilliant career. Slippin' Jimmy confirms his wicked deed at the end of "Smoke" when he subtly presses the insurance issue during Howard's confession: Santa Rosa's hike for Chuck's malpractice insurance was the last straw for Howard. It became the last straw for Chuck too.
Chuck is dead. Saul is born.
Gilligan/Gould retell Steinbeck's East of Eden, which retells Genesis 4: rivalry between brothers, one blessed and the other neerdowell. It's a modern parable told with soap opera suspense, accompanied by music from the Ink Spots to Gabriel Fauré.
Pay attention TV viewers. This is getting real good. Take notes.
