He's been pretty much spot on the entire time.

With Jimmy, the ends always justifies the means. This came up when Jimmy was talking to Cliff, then Kim, then Chuck. His first defense was always the results, not the method. Cliff hit the nail on the head: the partners have spent their careers building the integrity and reputation of Davis & Main. A single commercial isn't going to derail that, but it's that *type* of behavior that is the risk.

Also, note that for as cold as Chuck can be, he still trusts and loves his brother. He accepts Jimmy at his word when he said Kim had no idea about the commercial. He doesn't question Jimmy the person, he questions "Slippin' Jimmy". And, again... is he wrong?


That said, I'm still cautiously optimistic Jimmy is going to win over Chuck somehow (because of his relationship with Kim). He's just hit a bottom, and there's a lot of season left.
