Howard hamlin seriously got the worst end of the stick in BCS. Everyone else has some sort of moral ambiguity to them but Howard’s just been suckered into a life he didnt want and consistently tries to do right by people even to his own detriment. He admits that he always wanted more and respects kim for going for what she wanted because he never had the opportunity to- he was pressured by his father into becoming the second H to HHM. When chuck prevents jimmy from being hired Howard takes the fall for chuck and accepts all of jimmy’s resentment just to protect their relationship. He liked jimmy, and respected his work ethic, but was pressured by his father’s partner who made the firm to keep him out. Everything he does against jimmy in the beginning is out of obligation to chuck, and even when chuck betrays howard by suing the firm howard literally buys him out with his personal savings and loans (at his own financial detriment!) to protect the image of everyone. Poor guy was already depressed and just trying to live life and didnt deserve the end he got even if he was Kind Of Rude Sometimes
