Chuck can't use phones because of his illness, they can't even be near him, hence Jimmy leaves his in the mailbox before entering Chuck's house. That's why that phone call was out of the ordinary and made Jimmy suspicious. Chuck never would have used a phone if it wasn't of extreme urgency. And it was since the meeting was going to be the next morning.

So, I had to avoid spoilers until this episode, but one of the main themes of this show is the feud between two brothers. Jimmy obviously loved and looked up to his brother, but his brother was always jealous of Jimmy because Jimmy was popular and people liked him. Ironically, I think it was because Jimmy looked up to his brother that he decided to work in the mailroom and study for his law degree. With Jimmy's personality, he could have been a top earning salesman at a lot of different companies. He wanted to be like his brother... but of course his brother rejected him.

We thought that maybe Chuck has made some progress since he's able to go out more now, and that maybe he would be able to make phone calls too and that wouldn't be suspicious to Jimmy. But the fact that he did it behind Jimmy's back says everything.

It's so sad how Jimmy was trying so hard only to be so cruelly rejected 😕 Maybe if they'd had a healthier relationship, things would've been different for Jimmy career and success-wise.

I think if Chuck had brought Jimmy in as a partner it would have been a nice story of two hotshot lawyers (and Hamlin) taking on big cases and winning most of them using their complimentary abilities... but alas, we'll have to save stories like that for other lawyer shows.
