Mike went from part-time bodyguard to feud with Tuco/Hector due to the threat on Stacey and Kaylee's lives.

Jimmy went from someone struggling with the straight life to going all-out con man. His beef with Chuck went from personal to business. Chuck in particular had a huge transformation this season, going from quiet influencer to full-blown involvement, and Jimmy actually had earned the upper hand for a minute... Jimmy had set up his new wheelin'-and-dealin' life perfectly, and he had actually found a way to make things work with Kim, and now he's blown that, because Chuck exploited the fact that he knows he is Jimmy's greatest weakness.

I don't understand anyone saying that "nothing happened." The characters are in very different places at season's end than they were a season ago. The worlds of the main characters have moved forward tremendously.
