I apologize if this was an extremely obvious point that's been mentioned before, but I just noticed something interesting in the teaser intro of "Chicanery".
When Chuck and Jimmy are setting up for the dinner with Rebecca, Chuck concocts a lie in order to mask his illness from his ex wife. When Rebecca shows up and asks why the house is lit with only candles, Chuck says something to the effect of, "...Long story short, the bozos at 512 didn't pay their electric bill, and of course, I'm 521."
His lie is built around "switching numbers", which is the very same thing that lands Jimmy on trial in the very same episode. I think there's some intended irony here, as it's yet another example of how Chuck himself is, on occasion, just as much of a liar as his brother. The chicanery is not one sided.
It could be a coincidence, but the inclusion of a cell phone as the climactic trigger in both the teaser and the main episode makes me think the direct parallel between these scenes was intentional.
Has this all been discussed before?
