Complete story — includes the ending

Jimmy and Mike return the detective's notebook. The two Philadelphia detectives are unsatisfied with their explanation, though one privately tells Mike he has nothing to fear from their investigation. Jimmy finds Chuck standing outside his home, claiming he is building up a tolerance to electromagnetic waves. He stores legal documents at Chuck's house as part of a plan to pique Chuck's interest in cases, hoping to get him back into practicing law. Jimmy asks Kim to join him in a law partnership, but she declines, citing her loyalty to HHM. The Kettlemans fire HHM and hire Jimmy after Kim tries to convince them to accept a plea bargain that includes jail time for Craig. Jimmy also attempts to persuade them, but Betsy blackmails him, pointing out that the "retainer" the Kettlemans paid could be considered a bribe. Jimmy later discovers that Kim has been demoted to the document review office because she lost the Kettlemans as clients. Together, Mike and Jimmy steal the embezzled money from the Kettlemans. Jimmy returns the bribe/retainer money to the stolen funds and gives everything to the prosecutors, compelling Craig to accept the plea bargain to keep Betsy out of jail.
