in the Chuck vs Jimmy discussion.

When Kim gave her two weeks to Howard, she said that she would be sharing facilities with Jimmy but was clear she would not be working with him.

When Howard told Chuck Mesa Verde was going to Kim, he (whether deliberately or not) did not disclose that Kim would not be partners with Jimmy.

Such a brilliant move from the writers because it begs the questions... Would Chuck have been so gung ho about Mesa Verde if he knew that Jimmy would not directly be benefiting from them as a client? Would Jimmy have used diplomacy instead of sabotage if he had known that Chuck didn't know? Could this all have been prevented if it weren't for that glaring omission from Howard?

Howard's character was somewhat absolved last season when we found out Chuck was behind everything, but I think this adds another great layer of nuance to his motivations.
