That that we will return to Gene? Jimmy has so much potential to be GOOD, to be more than a &#8220;criminal lawyer,&#8221; and so far at least Jimmy is not the man who would be eager to be a drug lord&#8217;s consigliere, nor someone I would see advising a client to have someone knocked off in jail (and who knows a guy who knows a guy). So I not only want to know what happened to turn him into Saul (Gradual shift? Tragedy? series of Unfortunate events?) but beyond that I want REDEMPTION and I want it to be believable. Because folks, THAT&#8217;S entertainment.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Again, and I can&#8217;t emphasize this enough, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/happynicetimepeople.com\/better-call-saul-better-call-mike\/\">HNTP<\/a> to read the complete recap.
