Tired of Kim's schizophrenic personal struggle with lawyer ethics/morality

I get the impression (I'm hoping at least) that this is leading to Kim's exist from the show which is why this is being emphasized so much. We've now had two Nacho & Lalo-less episodes in a row with a heavy emphasis on Kim's strange lawyering "troubles" where she's now going out of her way to sabotage her own high profile clients because of some incoherent moral delima. I really hope they wrap up this arc of hers soon. A good season so far regardless

Good thoughts. I agree, and figure that her story will go along something like you say. I was a bit surprised that she scammed her own clients and business partners by getting into the dirt with Saul. We've seen her do it before though, but as you say, she tries to be on the moral high ground yet gives in and enlists Saul's help with these schemes. I wonder if it's because her relationship with Saul but I feel also that she's a bit easily led.

For all the talk about Jimmy "bringing her over to the dark side", what Kim chose to do on her own is frankly worse than what Jimmy/Saul has done because she's now actively trying to screw over her own clients, abusing their trust in her when she could very well just quit. The shady, corner cutting antics that Jimmy/Saul engages in are at least typically for the benefit of himself & his clients.

Yes, I do wonder where her moral compass is. It can't all be due to her liking Jimmy/Saul or being led by him. She goes along with it. I'm thinking she may pay a job and career price for it given that her manager is now very suspicious of her. Maybe her crashing in job/career is what will cause her split with Saul.
