Well yeah, they really hammered in how cookie cutter the firm was in later episodes, though that wasn't quite so apparent to me then. The main fact that jumped out at me then was that Saul did it his way without consultation. He had even almost walked to the guy to get it signed off but backed down knowing there'd potentially be issue. Better to ask forgiveness then ask permission and all that.

So Saul tries to resign from Davis and Main until he realizes he'd have to pay back the bonus, then much backpedaling happens. So he can't quit, but...can he be fired then and be fine?

On the way to Albuquerque, Saul gets hypnotized by a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. I'm not sure what it is supposed to represent exactly, but sometimes a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man is just a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man.

I see Saul is getting a bit vibrant with his suit choices, he seems to be thinking the same thing I'm thinking. Ah, ok. So the wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man was to impress upon Saul the nontraditional color palettes. Gotcha.

Hot the montage is even allowed to happen at this firm for more than a day is beyond me. They'd take one look at Saul's antics and fully understand and build a case against him because they're all competent lawyer people.

But this is loony tunes land where Saul can bring in bagpipes to work Naturally, the second I say that, Cliff calls in Saul and says he wins and does the thing I just said would have more realistically have happened.

What blindsides me is that Saul then goes to Kim and pitches himself as an option as opposed to the place she was entertaining. Even goes so far as to admit he's gonna be colorful.

Poor Omar. Dude's aces at his job, real upstanding guy, then the dude comes in with bagpipes and now he's gotta witness that person's former law location in a hair salon and help move in a $7000 desk that doesn't even look as functional as the old freebie metal desk (which he also helps move and dispose of).

Meanwhile, Kim's gotta sort things out in her mind. Ultimately, the pitch thrown at Saul amounts to 'solo practitioners together' which is probably why Saul Goodman can later be his own thing without any mention of a Wexler.
