Good call. I didn't consider that angle but she's just trying to salvage something out of this whole situation. Or maybe it's a bit of, "Jimmy isn't bothered about it, why should I care about that hoity-toity world any more?"

It was November 12th at 3 PM. I rewatched this part of BB...Saul is not seen at all in "Ozymandias", it was two episodes before that where Jesse mangles his face, and in the following episode Saul talks to Walt about what happened and how Jesse is a problem that needs to be taken care of. Then later he finds Walt at the carwash, and tells him the Huell is missing...so we don't know exactly what triggers Saul to get out of Dodge, but my guess is that Jesse dropped Saul's name to Hank and Gomie, and he got a call from the DEA.... I think Jimmy does what he always does, finds a way to use an opportunity. Seeing Howard suffer emotionally for Chuck's death means that the 'suffering' is happening, and it's not on Jimmy to deal with....he can move on. And with Kim....the self-sabotage is becoming quite apparent, she obviously just wants to feel like she's doing something 'good', and doesn't quite know what that looks like....my feeling is that she sees Jimmy trying to be 'good', and thinking that once he becomes a lawyer again, if she's at his level (doing PD work rather than the high-profile stuff) then she can be 'good' with him. I think she also has the feeling of "If I had just been there with Jimmy when he was younger, if I had been able to set him straight and just help him a bit...maybe he would be a better person and feel better about himself....I care so much for him and I want him to feel better....he's been through so much and obviously he feels so terrible about his brother's death (which that bastard Howard is responsible for) and is just trying to be strong and move on....maybe I can make up for it by helping others like him instead of just making a bank richer...." Something like that. One thing I just realized - it doesn't make sense for Kim to be lawyer that Francesca calls. Francesca obviously knows Kim, she used to work for Kim for crying out loud! And she certainly wouldn't have to tell Kim that "Jimmy sent me". The only - ONLY - way it makes sense is if Kim is now working for another firm somewhere as a criminal lawyer, and saying "Jimmy sent me" is some sort of code that gets someone sent over to her. With regards to the call on November 12th - Jimmy is actually asking Francesca to be at a certain place at 3 PM. If anything she is going to *receive* a call, not make it. I think it's likely from the dialogue that Jimmy will be calling her on a burner phone he has provided for her, or she will have to get something from someone to get to him somehow. What the call might be about is still quite up in the air, but I am quite sure that it's to give her his new address so that she can get something to him, or maybe just news about what happened to his practice and his clients, and to make sure nothing follows him to Omaha

I have a feeling that Jimmy is going to get his revenge on the punks. Maybe not the money, but his revenge. Trying to figure out who the other lawyer might be or what the Francesca phone call is about. One thing I can say for sure is that the opening scene does not follow right after the scene where Jesse attacks Saul in BB....Saul and Francesca are wearing different clothes. So it's a different day. Also according to the Breaking Bad timeline, Saul uses the Disappearer on March 15th, by the time Francesca makes that phone call in November, Walter White will already be dead....trying to find the significance of that date, and can't yet...I'm still speculating strongly that Kim will use the Disappearer first, maybe on November 12th of the coming year....

I am beginning to think the whole Kim thing is going in a new direction.... OK try this on for size. Kim is clearly disillusioned about being a high-priced enabler for Mesa Verde, she wants to feel like she's making a difference in the world and is going through an existential crisis. She'll end up working as a public defender in the district court because that's what's she angling for in Episode 4. One of her defendants will end up being a Gus Fring cartel member...maybe even Nacho? She will delve too deep into the cartel stuff, and get herself into real trouble, despite Jimmy trying to use his contacts to keep her out of it. I predict that *KIM* will be the one who will need the services of the Disappearer first....she'll have to bail and start a new life, back towards her home in....Omaha Nebraska. Where someday, Jimmy McGill AKA Saul Goodman AKA Gene Takavic will be able to join her.
