Better Call Saul giveth and taketh away from Jimmy in "Bingo"

Think I noted something, and thought it was neat enough to comment on. If I’m right, potential spoiler alert I guess so be warned.

Did you notice when Jimmy is flipping through the dictionary, the topic we notice that’s alphabetically before “embezzlement”? It’s “electricity”.

Maybe his brother Chuck’s aversion to electricity, is a neurosis he’s developed to shield him from thoughts about the next word - embezzlement. Which could mean, maybe Chuck did some embezzlement from Hamlin Hamlin & McGill, probably in a weak moment, which hasn’t been found out yet. Perhaps for some difficulty their mother found herself in, such as health, losing her house, or some other similar problem. Or, perhaps Chuck just found himself dipping more and more into the till.

In which case this potential problem could cost Chuck his law partnership, and more importantly his own integrity and view of himself. As well as Jimmy’s respect, and even hope, as the one man he respects and considers universally good shows feet of clay.

That’s my thought. So love the show. For me, this creative team is coming through in every way.
