On the plot section[edit]

It is interpretive to describe Jimmy's reaction to his elder law client's death relative to how he reacted to Chuck's death. We are not allowed to make interpretive jumps in plot sections. We're only shown what the show shows us, Jimmy shut down after Chuck's death but didn't show us every moment in the short term so he may have been more emotional but we just don't know. I do agree as a viewer that it seems significant to see how different Jimmy's reactions were, but at this point it doesn't affect the story so far; as a strict recap of what we are seen on TV, we simply know the news caused Jimmy to tear up and go home to look at his ads with her, but we're not in position to compare that to what he did in wake of Chuck's death. --Masem (t) 13:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Masem: It's dark at night and bright during the day. Those are self-evident circumstances, like crying versus not crying. You don't need a Shakespearean soliloquy from an actor to see the change in condition with your own eyes, or understand what the condition signifies. What WOULD be interpretive is the question of whether by grieving for Geraldine, Jimmy's really (finally) expressing his grief for Chuck. I'd say maybe so, but who can say for sure? I think no one can.

That said, I'm not going to make this edit to the article again, because I don't feel like arguing.

Whether completely shutting down all emotions , or breaking out into tears, is showing "more grief" is debatable. Now if later this season Jimmy's vastly different reactions are called out in show, then I can see adding this back in, but not until then. (This is partially why its okay on the next episode to talk to why Gus ended Hector's therapy sessions, because we know that end game from BB, although his conversation with the doctor danced around the point). --Masem (t) 18:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
