Jimmy has manipulated everybody including Kim. There is no way this show will make me feel sorry for Jimmy when it comes to his brother. The whole putting "Howard in his place" is based off Jimmy's lies and manipulation of everybody including Kim. Yes he lied and manipulated her as well.

I feel like Jimmy is hard to nail down this season he is going through a lot and I think there are a number of valid interpretations to his behavior. My take on the job interview is that Jimmy wanted the job but then when he was successful in manipulating them he lost all respect for them and turned. I think all his turmoil around Chuck is part of it and also it reminded him of his dad getting manipulated by every huckster around.

I know S&P are several episodes ahead of this already but just adding this. I think Gus was looking at Hector's toxicology report. He saw that there was something else in his system and not his normal medication. Because nacho had swapped it. It confirmed his suspicions.

Yes Pudgey, Gus was unsure of Hectors fate and bitter, so killing one of his men was a way for quick revenge on Hector for killing his partner earlier as revealed in breaking bad flashback scene.

I agree with your analysis of motivations. I would just add that most of our characters at this point (Jimmy, Kim, Howard, Gus, Nacho) are going through various crises and are just acting a bit wild due to their strong emotions. Some are in denial, some are letting off steam, some are punishing others to ease their own guilt, etc. Everybody's stress level is at 11 right now and they're coping.

Spartan, great explanation for why Jimmy didn't take that job. Nailed it.

lol Howard did definitely not deserve that from Kim imo, especially since we the audience know at this point that Jimmy is the one who caused the insurance issue AND Jimmy’s response to Howard last season. Poor Howard being used as a punching bag
