Jimmy is heartbreakingly desperate to hear the words 'I'm proud of you' from Chuck (which he said himself to Chuck in 'Bingo'), but he has to pretty much put those words into his brother's mouth.Д«ut the sadness of the flashback is balanced out by an uplifting turn in the 2003 narrative, as the McGill brothers join forces on Jimmy's biggest case yet. His hopes of being hired as a lawyer by HHM are dashed, and I wasn't sure whether Howard was entirely to blame, or whether Chuck had a hand in this decision too.Д¬huck's reaction to Jimmy passing the bar seemed conflicted -В though he's clearly happy and impressed, he's also not particularly eager to work with his brother. The timing of these flashbacks is always ambiguous, but this seems like the furthest back we've ever gone, showing the possible reason why Jimmy turned to scams in the first place.

And judging by the kiss she planted on him when he got the news, they're at least friends with benefits. He and Kim feel more or less like contemporaries, but we learn that she passed the bar before Jimmy did, and from a better university (University of New Mexico vs American Samoa). Though it lasted only the length of a teaser (as did the flashbacks in 'Nacho' and 'Hero'), the glimpse of Jimmy in the HHM mailroom revealed so much about his relationships with both Kim and Chuck.
