How is vandalizing Howard's car going to further Saul's interests?


Are we just supposed to wait until next week to find out?

Also why did Gus have his guys leave the money? He easily could have escaped with it? Is this just so that Krazy-8 can fulfill his end of the deal and not have to rat out anymore drops going forward?

I think Jimmy trashing Howard's car is his way of lashing out at Howard for pressing him about changing his name to Saul & secondly for mentioning Chuck.Plus he probably thinks Howard's being condescending with his job offer.

Yeah that’s what I thought but considering he does that right after meeting with Ackerman I thought those two events might be related. Guess not

They explained they had to write off the money or the DEA would know someone tipped them off. It had to appear business as usual. 700K is a drop in the ocean really.

Right but Hank and Gomie were under the impression that Gus's guy just saw them. Then when he abandoned his car and escaped through the sewer he could have taken the money with him. Again I can accept that he left the money because if he didn't Hank would start pressing Krazy-8 again and he would have to rat out another drop.
