As the episode begins, we see Jimmy and Kim doing exactly what Mike told them to do: going about their normal day. Kim heads to court, Jimmy heads to his office, and the day ticks on. Meanwhile, Mike and his guys are cleaning out the condo and removing any trace of Howard’s murder. Sure enough, when Jimmy and Kim finally return home that night, it’s as if nothing had ever happened. The place is spotless. But the two of them can’t easily forget what happened, so they head out to a motel for the night. 

At the motel, Jimmy makes it clear that he thinks — or at least hopes — they’ll get beyond these horrible events. “One day we’ll wake up and brush our teeth and go to work and at some point, we’ll suddenly realize we hadn’t thought about it at all,” he says — and Kim remains silent. Things only get increasingly worse, especially after Jimmy and Kim stop by a memorial being held for Howard at the offices of HHM. 

Everyone seems inclined to believe Howard was a drug addict who died by suicide walking into the sea. Everyone, that is, except Howard’s wife, Cheryl. She swears up and down Howard was clean, and mentions she heard from Howard that Jimmy was tormenting him and playing pranks. Jimmy swears he’s innocent and tries to play off his cruelty to Howard over the years as jealousy. But Cheryl isn’t buying it, and finally, Kim steps in — telling an obviously fake story about how, when she was still working at HHM, she saw Howard snorting cocaine. Having a know con man like Jimmy say something might not be convincing, but hearing it from dependable, respected Kim Wexler is another matter. Unable to keep this up, Cheryl runs to the bathroom, sobbing.

In the parking garage, Jimmy says he knows that was hard, but now they can move on. “Let the healing begin!” he states. Kim stops, pauses, looks at him — and then plants a passionate kiss on his lips. Here I thought the show was once again leaning into the idea that being bad (or breaking bad, if you will!) is a huge aphrodisiac for Kim. But then a curious thing happens: Kim gets in her car and drives away, leaving Jimmy behind.
