I almost felt bad for Chuck tonight. Just as he's getting his shit together, he's on the verge of losing everything.
Did the cook see Nacho switch the pills? He was back in the kitchen the whole time with a full view of the dining area. The whole scene was set up so he's in the background, but Nacho neverbseemed to take any notice of him.

Yeah, tense sequence in the restaurant with Nacho and Don Hector. Also liked Nacho showing off his athletic ability by scaling the wall to turn off the A/C.
Glad to see Marco make another appearance in the cold opening flashback with Jimmy.

I know he took the name in a previous episode, but this was probably the first episode that I really saw him as Saul and not Jimmy. The slip scam was total Jimmy, but the community service thing felt like the true emergence of Saul.
I keep wondering what will end up happening with Kim in the end. She seems to keep getting closer and closer to the point where she will have to distance herself from Jimmy to continue to climb that career ladder.

What was the deal with the body that Mike found?

It was the Good Samaritan that Mike felt guilty about. When Mike mentioned to Nacho there was one last thing he needed from him and he took out his notepad, it was asking him where that guy was buried after he was killed.

Ah ok. I assumed that is who it was but wasn't sure. Thanks.

I liked seeing Jimmy using his "powers" to get money from people who have illegally obtained it and are willing to part with it easier, than with legitimate people who pinch every penny.
The convict would hand over $700 without question to get out of work early, but the business owners wouldn't part with $400 for a commercial that they saw was increasing sales.
I think he is learning that the 'hustle' is more profitable dealing with criminals - who won't question the price of the service.

Yeah, that was a pretty good moment where he has to really struggle to get money from the legit sources while the criminal element is easy to get a paycheck from for the "honest" services he is trying to provide.
Also, the bandaid box he keeps the coins in is in his box from the flash forward opening scene in season 1 where he's looking in a memory box.

Sounds like the bottle was 35 years old. 1968+35=2003.

Re: Better Call Saul (S3E08) -- "Slip" -- 6/5/17
So I don't know if anyone has watched this yet, but there is an hour long discussion about Better Call Saul at Stanford Law School with Rhea Seehorn and Peter Gould. I'll leave the link down below if anyone wants to watch it.
What I wanted to note though is that someone from the audience asked Peter Gould about the riskiest thing he has done on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. He mentioned Jane on Breaking Bad, but then said...and I don't think this is a spoiler, but i'll do that just in case:

Re: Better Call Saul (S3E08) -- "Slip" -- 6/5/17
Edit : Actually the date mislead us slightly. From Alan Sepinwall :
Though you’ll occasionally hear Gilligan or Kelley Dixon or someone else on the official Saul podcast mention a date, the show itself tends to be vague about exactly when this is all set, other than six years before Breaking Bad, which itself took place in a nebulous two-year period somewhere in the late ’00s. But when Howard cracks open the bottle of Macallan 1966 and refers to it as 35 years old, that would seem to place current events in 2001, which in turn put the start of Breaking Bad around 2007 (the series itself debuted in January of 2008). Howard could, of course, be using a round-ish number for a bottle that’s 34 or 37 years old, so I wouldn’t go using permanent marker for the date on your Saul conspiracy board just yet.
