She sees that Jimmy still wants to do the joint law office thing, so she goes directly to Schweikart to ask for a job. Then she lies to Jimmy and says that they asked her. She could have actually told him flat out that she needed to take the job so that she can keep doing her pro bono work, but she instead opted to make up a bullshit story.

So, this is all a reaction to Jimmy not going to the therapist like she wanted?

Rest of the episode was still really good. From Jimmy's revenge (with the return of Huell) to Jimmy's "pep-talk" to Howard to the stuff with Mike to Chicken Man's speech to Salamanca.

I still think they need to do a time jump though. If for no other reason than Kim doesn't have to keep wearing a cast.
