Expenses (Better Call Saul)

Jimmy does community service by picking up garbage under a highway bridge. At the same time, he uses his cell phone to conduct business for "Saul Goodman Productions". At the end of his four hour shift, his supervisor logs only thirty minutes, informing Jimmy that he violated the rules by using his phone.

Jimmy changes clothes and drives to a reclining chair store to shoot a commercial. When it's complete, the owner declines Jimmy's offer to shoot more. After Jimmy and Kim go through their expenses, Jimmy hands Kim the money for his share, which concerns her because she thinks he might be exhausting his savings. Nacho breaks into Daniel Wormald's (Pryce) house and offers him $20,000 if he can obtain capsules that look like Hector's nitroglycerin, to which Daniel reluctantly agrees.

Mike begins construction on the new playground for Stacey's church and reluctantly accepts some help from the other members of her support group, including Anita. Later as Mike heads to the parking attendant's booth to start his shift, he sees Daniel who tells him about Nacho's offer and asks Mike to be his bodyguard again. Mike refuses to get involved and advises Daniel that he should do the same.

Kim attends a meeting with Paige at Mesa Verde's offices. When Paige praises Kim's cross-examination of Chuck at Jimmy's disciplinary hearing, which led to Chuck's meltdown on the witness stand, Kim expresses regret for having destroyed Chuck's reputation.

At the support group, Mike befriends Anita after she recounts how her husband, a former Navy officer, mysteriously disappeared on a hiking trip. The story compels Mike to contact Daniel and agree to be his bodyguard. While having dinner with Jimmy, Kim briefly plays along with a grifting "game", but quickly makes sure he knows they're not going to actually do it. When Kim wonders whether they did the right thing with Chuck, an exasperated Jimmy replies what happened to Chuck was his own fault and she should forget about him.

Mike and Daniel meet with Nacho, who tells Mike the full story— Hector wants to turn Nacho's father's upholstery shop into a front business for the Salamanca drug trade, so Nacho intends to kill Hector by switching his nitro for a placebo. Mike agrees not to interfere, but advises Nacho that if Hector dies, he should replace the fake pills with the real ones so that the cause of Hector's death won't be obvious.

Because his law license is suspended, Jimmy tries to obtain a refund on his malpractice insurance policy. The agent is unable to comply because the insurance has to stay in effect so that he's covered if someone accuses him of past malpractice while his license is suspended. She also informs Jimmy that his premium will rise by 150% after he is reinstated. Jimmy appears shaken by the news and starts to cry, but then mentions Chuck's nervous breakdown at the bar hearing and apparent mental illness as the reason for his supposed distress. Jimmy leaves the insurance agent's office with a smirk of satisfaction, knowing he's caused serious trouble for Chuck.
