Jimmy McGill discovers from Irene Landry, his former elder law client who represents the class in the Sandpiper Crossing lawsuit,[a] that the company has offered a settlement. Irene has refused because the lawyers have advised her they believe they can get Sandpiper to offer more. Jimmy stands to receive $1.16 million, and tries to persuade Howard Hamlin to accept, but Howard refuses.
Howard and Chuck McGill meet with their malpractice insurance agents. Based on the information provided by Jimmy,[b] the agents inform them that because of Chuck's mental condition he will need to be supervised by another attorney at all times or HHM will face a substantial premium increase. Chuck wants to fight the insurance company, but Howard disagrees and says he will force Chuck to retire since his judgment can no longer be trusted. Chuck sues HHM for $8 million, the value of his share of the partnership.
Mike Ehrmantraut becomes a contracted security expert for Madrigal, a paper transaction designed to launder his stolen money[c] by having him give his cash to Lydia Rodarte-Quayle and then receive monthly consulting fees. Kim Wexler takes on Gatwood Oil as a second client to cover office expenses[c] in case Jimmy is unable to pay his half while his law license is suspended.[d]Nacho Varga admits to his father Manuel Varga that he is working for Hector Salamanca and begs him to follow Hector's order to use Manuel's upholstery shop as a front for Hector's drug trade.[b] Manuel refuses and orders Nacho to leave his house.
Jimmy pulls a series of psychological and social manipulation tricks to turn Irene's friends against her so that she believes refusing the Sandpiper settlement is against the interests of her fellow clients. She decides to accept, meaning Jimmy will receive his much-needed share. He returns to his office to give Kim the good news, but she is too busy preparing for an important meeting with Gatwood Oil to listen and leaves in a rush. Due to fatigue from overwork, Kim falls asleep at the wheel and crashes into a boulder.
