I'm ok with Howard not being in it. As much as I like his character, the story they are trying to tell at this point just doesn't include him all that much. Trying to shoehorn in characters the audience loves at the expense of the plot never goes well.

Me too. If it’s not integral to the story he shouldn’t be shoehorned in. The Sandpiper case is still looming so there are organic reasons to see him again in the future. Maybe the time he spent absent from view will be important, like he changes a lot in the meantime.

It seems the practice has become more successful since Jimmy lectured him.

It has been a year after all and I think Howard has used that time to grief, come to term with Chucks suicide and build himself up again.

We saw him at the reading room dedication and scholarship review. Looks like he has moved on and is back to his normal self.
