It goes without saying that there are spoilers in this review, so don't end up looking like one of Slippin' Jimmy's marks.###Time is a factor in the second episode of Better Call Saul's new season. Starkly reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue n by the first image to hit our screens – a metronome. It belongs to Chuck McGill (Michael McKean), seen in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the first time this season. He's playing the piano in the shadowy darkness of his little house, but can't contrive to keep the tune toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her. He's annoyed with himself, but is distracted by a knock at the door. It's Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), his partner at HHM, arriving with some supplies. Chuck enquires after his younger brother Jimmy, and is thunderstruck’startled’stupefied – and troubled – to learn that he's working at Davis & Main, collaborating with HHM on the Sandpiper case that was set up in the wake of his investigation. He tries to sound like he's happy in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the younger McGill, but can't quite pull it off. After promising he'll try to come into the firm one day this week, he sees Howard out and goes back to the piano… But he's still distracted.###After the credits, we're in one of the HHM conference rooms, where pastries and folders are laid out in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a meeting. Kim, studying the layout, moves Jimmy's folder next to hers. The meeting is with regards to’concerning’with respect to the case, and Jimmy and Kim are playing a subtle game of footsie under the table like teenagers.###We cut to them taking a smoke break in the parking garage at the firm, and Jimmy's talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to possible places he can live now that Davis & Main are paying him a proper wage. Though the couple talks with regards to’concerning’with respect to their plans, there's some vague tension between then that's hard to clarify. Still, Kim has a present in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Jimmy: a mug that read's World's (2nd) Best Lawyer… Cute. A quick kiss and they go their separate ways.###Talking of separation, Jimmy is eventually’ultimately able to ditch his grotty old car, as he's trading up to a shiny new firm’enterprise Mercedes. He seems to love the new vehicle, but there's just one issue – perfectly relayed via one of the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's trademark shot from through something, in this case the cup holder – the new mug doesn't fit. A token of trouble ahead? Anything's possible in this reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue .###Mike, meanwhile is working his usual spot at the parking lot serving the police station and court. A Jurassic Park-style vibration in his water glass heralds the arrival of Daniel Wormwald in his embarrassing rolling pride-mobile. Seems the police, still investigating the theft of his baseball cards, possess’own’nurse asked to speak with him again. Mike being Mike straight away’in a flash’promptly’instantaneous’in a trice twigs what's going on and orders Wormwald to park up in the lot. The police, he explains, are on a "fishing trip", looking to find out what's really going on with Daniel. Despite Wormwald's disbelief, Mike convinces him that he will find the cards, but it'll cost Daniel. Grumpily, Dan approve’ consent’endorse’applaud s.###Over at Davis & Main, Jimmy is quietly working, but keeps hearing a guitar playing. He amble’stroll’bimble’meander’roam s the open plan office beyond his walls to find Clifin/with regard to’concerning’regarding d Main (Ed Begley Jr.) strumming away. It helps him decompress, apparently. Jimmy talks up an idea he's had, some financial double-dealing going on that taracquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s the Sandpiper care home residents and might be something they can exploit to help with the case.###Mike has headed to an upholstery facility where, surprise, surprise, we find Nacho working with his father. After spinning some tale with regards to’concerning’with respect to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting new seat covers, he finds a way to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure Nacho alone and threatens him… Well, more offers him a deal that would be hard to refuse. If Nacho (who found Wormwald's real name and address last episode) approve’ consent’endorse’applaud s to return the cards, he would also pocked $60,0000. Nacho wonders how that might happen.###A brief check-on with Chuck, who has decided to head to HHM and we're at the far-flung meeting place that Wormwald, Mike and Nacho possess’own’nurse been using. And here's how Nacho will acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure his money: Daniel has to hand over the keys to the car. It's fun to watch Wormwald squirm as Nacho explains that he'll be taking the Hummer to the nearest chop shop. The business between Nacho and Daniel – in all manners of speaking – is now concluded. But the police are still calling Wormwald's phone.###At HHM, Jimmy is explaining his potential case exploit when an assistant arrives and e grossly one has to hand in their phones and other devices. The lights are convert’transform ed off meaning merely’barely one thing… Chuck has arrived. Jimmy's eliminate’remove ly not pleased as Chuck takes a seat at the end of the table and listens as the younger McGill returns to talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to his idea.###With the meeting concluded, Chuck and Jimmy square off at least, hiding their real feelings behind base pleasantries. But the undercurrent of tension shines out even as Jimmy acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s a call; it's Mike, offering a side job. If Jimmy hadn't had the sudden pressure of Chuck's return, he might possess’own’nurse turned him down. As it is, we acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure a flash of Slippin' Jimmy – or even Saul Goodman – as he asks where and when.###Turns out, Wormwald has reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue n up at the police station, aiming to tell the police that it's all settled and he found the cards. The detectives are still suspicious of him, and start asking with regards to’concerning’with respect to the hidden hole that the officers found in his place last episode. And here's where one of the funniest scenes the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has ever filmed kicks in. Jimmy, acting as Daniel's lawyer, sends him out of the room and spins a wonderful, meandering tale of what the hiding place is really used in/with regard to’concerning’regarding . It suffers a little if you can't see Bob Odenkirk deliver the lines, but it boils down to the idea that Daniel has been making weird (clothed) fetish videos in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a fortune’property y patron, in which our luckless wannabe drug kingpin sits in pies. Jimmy rattles off a list of amazing names in/with regard to’concerning’regarding this peculiar fetish, including "Squat Cobbler", which partly gives the episode its name. It's hilarious, and the police, who are baffled by the concept, approve’ consent’endorse’applaud to let Wormwald loose. There's just one thing, Jimmy tells Daniel as they cover’budge through the parking lot…. He'll possess’own’nurse to make one of the videos.###Cut to Jimmy taking boxes from his car to his apartment, and then sitting on the bed with Kim, eating one of the leftover pies. He explains his gambit to his initially amused lover, but her brow furrows when she realises this means he fabricated evidence. The old ways are still lurking in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Jimmy. She can't hear with regards to’concerning’with respect to any of this again, or they're done. Note that she says she can't hear with regards to’concerning’with respect to it. Not that he can't do it. There are some things even she can't control.###Some possess’own’nurse described Better Call Saul as frustratingly slow burning, which can be true occasionally. But this is a reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue that likes to take its sweet time, much as the early days of Breaking Bad were in no hurry to push Walter White to his dark side. We know that Saul is in Jimmy's future, but the series finds pleasure in detail and attentive ly crafted character moments. Not e grossly reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has to possess’own’nurse an explosion each episode… Saul's genius is in finding the magic in minutiae, metaphor and tone, drawing human drama from the smaller scale and delighting in the simmering bundle of contradictions that is Jimmy McGill.###Odenkirk, McKean and the rest do great with what they've given, and when you're allowed the sheer awkwardness of a scene such as Wormwald handing over the keys to his beloved car or Jimmy's amazing pie fetish story, there's no reason to feel impatient. Things will ramp up in their own time – witness the end of last season. This is establish ing the structure that creator Vince Gilligan and co. will enjoy knocking down later. For now, simply wallow in the joy of a reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue that unfolds more like an indie comedy drama than an action thriller.
