i missed the part on Jimmy giving up the million.
he still gets paid right? they're just holding out?
No i still believe he was "bored" rather than "forced" in a way to face his "disease". Everytime he was complacent, he was just wrapped up in a blanket and reading newspapers... what happened when Jimmy strung him along for the sandpiper deal? Chuck got motivated, Chuck face his fear and grabbed Jimmys phone and called Howard (to give them sandpiper).
Chuck then strolled on back to HHM, w/ Jimmy.
When Chuck thought Jimmy was screwing him over, he tailed him and went to the copy store and all that...
Chucks mind was working... to find ways to get back at Jimmy.
When Chuck did that whole recorded conversation thing, the cog in his wheels were spinning!
However, when he lost the case, lost his brother, lost his ex-wife and lost face over being a crazy buffoon in front of his peers... well that was his downfall.
He had to keep busy, OH!!! he had a target, the insurance company (no thanks to Jimmy), then when Howard threatened him, he had a NEW target, HHM.
When HHM settled with him, that did away with HHM and the insurance company as well, Chuck has nothing to do, there is no bugs for Chuck to squash in his own backyard... if he wanted to squash new bugs, he'll have to go away from home, which he won't do... so instead he'll
create a problem... and that was simply finding the phantom powered device. (remember this disease is all in his mind, his fucked up brained created a problem, b/c he had nothing else to do)
