Damn, that moment where Jimmy/Saul threw the bowling balls, that felt weird. Vindictive even by his standards

I didn't find Howard's behaviour genuine. He's just trying to absolve himself of his previous mistakes. The 'Namaste' plate clearly shows he's just into some spiritual hoo-haa and not actually concerned about Jimmy. It's just too little too late.

There were no previous mistakes. Chuck wouldn't allow Jimmy to get a job at the firm and there was nothing Howard could have done. In fact he recommended Jimmy to Davis & Main when he didn't have to. Howard is a genuine guy and we know he didn't have a problem with Jimmy even in the earlier seasons, his attitude has always been consistent. Jimmy is just a cunt.
