Jimmy has already guessed that Cliff has assigned Erin to keep an eye on him, and each of her actions seem to confirm his suspicions. At the courthouse, Mike speaks to his daughter-in-law on the phone, who happily tells him about their new place and how much safer it is. At the courthouse, Jimmy encounters an old colleague petty with a prior! After she and Howard meet with the new clients and she enthusiastically offers to start working on the case, Howard tells her not to bother — she has enough to worry about down in Document Review.

Chuck decides to start a new work schedule before everyone else comes in to avoid all of the electricity, and is surprised to see Kim still there.
