"Cobbler" is the second episode of the second season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on February 22, 2016.
As Chuck plays the piano at his home, he is interrupted when Howard arrives to deliver groceries. They discuss the Sandpiper case as well as Jimmy's employment at Davis & Main. Chuck is reluctant about Jimmy joining D&M, though Howard says it was mostly thanks to Kim's efforts that D&M were willing to hire him. After Hamlin leaves, Chuck returns to his piano, turns on the metronome, and stares at it silently.
Before a meeting between Hamlin Hamlin & McGill and D&M, Kim rearranges the seating so that she and Jimmy sit side by side. She asks Jimmy how he is adjusting to his new firm. On a break, they share a cigarette, a kiss, and she gives him a thermos with "World's 2nd Best Lawyer" written on it. They agree to meet later that night. At the nail salon Jimmy receives his new company car, a Mercedes-Benz, and is frustrated that his new thermos does not fit in the cup holder like it did in his old beater.
At the courthouse, Mike is surprised to see Daniel arrive in his Hummer. Daniel tells him about the burglary at his house and Mike cautions him about talking to the police. Daniel, however, is adamant about getting his baseball cards back. In order to prevent Daniel from possibly implicating him in the drug deals, Mike offers to find the baseball cards. He tracks down Nacho at his father's car restoration shop and asks for the return of the baseball cards. Nacho at first brushes him off, until Mike threatens to inform Tuco about the drug deals. Mike negotiates a deal where Daniel trades his Hummer to Nacho in return for the baseball cards and $10,000. The police are still calling Daniel to come in for an interview.
During a meeting between HHM and D&M, Chuck appears and sits in as an observer. Jimmy is hesitant to continue at first but with silent encouragement from Kim he continues to discuss the Sandpiper clients. When Jimmy asks Chuck why he came to the meeting, Chuck simply says he came to "bear witness". Moments later, Mike phones Jimmy, asking for his assistance. Jimmy accompanies Daniel to a police interview, where Daniel tells the detectives there is no need to keep the case open since he has retrieved his cards. The detectives are still skeptical, so Jimmy talks to them privately about a failed gay love affair and the stealing of the cards as revenge. To provide Daniel with an alibi, Jimmy "explains" that the space behind the couch contained fetish videos of Daniel sitting on various types of pies and crying. The detectives, taken off guard by the outrageous story, believe Jimmy.
