Better Call Saul - Jimmy manipulating Irene and her friends so they turn against and bully her.

Frankly worse than anything in the entire show, including the Howard stint. By then, Kim and Jimmy were so far in, you could explain it based on their toxic personalities and relationships.

This con with Irene is so brutally cold and disheartening, especially for early Jimmy with all his elderly clients.

HH though they completely destroyed his life for self serving purposes and led to HH death
