In the past, Jimmy meets with Clifford Main (Ed Begley Jr.), who wants to hire hi for his law firm.Jimmy takes Kim (Rhea Seehorn) aside and wonders if he takes the job, does this mean they is no future for them. Unhappy with Kim's response, Jimmy rejects Clifford's job offer. 

Back in the car, Jimmy asks Mike what the hell is wrong with him. Why didn't they take the million, split the money, and run off as kings? Mike did his job and that's how far he wanted to take it. Jimmy thinks he made the wrong choice and he should have been thinking of himself. 

Driving back to the nail salon, Jimmy makes a fool of himself as he drinks the water. He runs to the back to his small office and rips off the paper on his door.  

Daniel (Mark Proksch) meets with Mike in his flashy new hummer. Knowing the yellow color and flames brings out attention, Mike refuses to get inside. Mike is then fired by Daniel, who's just sick and tired of paying him. 

Nacho (Michael Mando) shows up at his meet with Daniel. Pretending to be interested in the hummer, Nacho manages to sit inside the passenger seat. Opening up the glove compartment, Nacho finds out where Daniel lives.

Giving fake names, Kim and Jimmy make Ken pay for the entire bottle of tequila and their food. Drunk and laughing together, Kim and Jimmy ditch Ken with the check. 

Kim looks Jimmy and plants a kiss on him. Waking up in the morning, Jimmy gets dressed alongside Kim. Jimmy pretends he has some place to go afterwards, Back at the swimming pool, Jimmy thinks about playing a game with another mark, but Kim doesn't answer his call; making him feel lonely.

Daniel Warmolt calls the police after his home is ransacked. Daniel tells the police that his baseball collection has been stolen, but he doesn't want to tell them how much money was robbed from him. Noticing Daniel still has his computer and hummer, the police officers discover a secret compartment behind his couch.

Taking the job with Clifford Main, Jimmy is presented with his new office. He looks at the weird painting in his office but doesn't want to change it. As an act of rebellion, Jimmy flips the switch that says, "Don't" but nothing happens.
