From Wikipedia:
E3 "Amarillo"
Jimmy bribes a Sandpiper Crossing bus driver to allow him to solicit a bus full of residents on their way to lunch. At an HHM meeting, Jimmy presents his client outreach report, and informs the group that he has signed up several new clients for the class action lawsuit. Chuck is suspicious of Jimmy's methods, but Jimmy deflects the question. Kim warns Jimmy to keep his methods legitimate, since she recommended him to Davis & Main, and his actions will reflect on her judgment. Stacey voices concern to Mike about gunshots she heard in her neighborhood over the previous two nights. Mike does overnight surveillance without Stacey's knowledge and does not hear or see anything out of the ordinary. At work the following morning, Stacey calls Mike. He rushes to her house, where she says there were three more gunshots the night before and points out a chip in the corner of her outside wall that she tearfully insists is from a bullet.
E4 - Gloves Off
Jimmy meets with the Davis & Main partners, who are angry at him for running a TV commercial without their consent, but Cliff decides to give Jimmy a second chance. Kim meets with Howard and Chuck, and Howard reprimands her for her failure to inform them about Jimmy's commercial, then demotes her to entry level work in the firm's document review office. Mike and Nacho go over plans to kill Tuco, due to Nacho's concern about Tuco's erratic behavior and the possibility of Tuco finding out about his secret deals. Mike decides against killing Tuco, arguing that Tuco's death would draw undue attention from the Salamancas and the cartel. Instead, Mike stages a fender bender by hitting Tuco's car with his, then goads Tuco into attacking him. The police Mike called before the accident arrive during the altercation and arrest Tuco for assault with a deadly weapon, since he was carrying a gun while he was hitting Mike.
