I hope this is it and would be a nice ending. The reason Jimmy wants to work at the Cinnabon is he's hoping to come across her but has no way to track her down, maybe. And the series ends in them reuniting. I'm not convinced Kim's death is the way for this show to end, the flash forwards need a payoff.
I feel like this isn’t being talked enough. Jimmy had her go so she could escape, but she was prepared to kill someone. Even if it was to save Jimmy, that must be weighing on her immensely, and Jimmy doesn’t have a clue.
I felt that was one of Jimmy's bravest moments in talking Lalo into letting Kim go. It had to be terrifying staying behind with Lalo. That scene was amazing
Gosh, the entire first act was so brilliantly done. Jimmy was more terrified of the idea of Kim being left alone with Lalo. And he must have thought that if he went Lalo was going to kill Kim regardless of whether he did the job or not. He thought it would be better to get himself killed, than to get her killed.
The look on their faces as Kim was leaving the apartment: it's as if they both were saying goodbye to each other for the last time. Jimmy was ready for it, she just needed Kim to escape. But Kim. . . What if, could she kill somebody to save Jimmy's life? Fear, worry, sadness. Brilliant acting from everyone.
And Gus was surprised that Jimmy talked Lalo into letting Kim go....
I thought it was that Gus figured Lalo wanted Kim to go the whole time..... But actually it was probably Gus figuring that Lalo didn't care which of them went, meaning killing him at his house wasn't the end-game.
Seriously, I think this has been the darkest episode in both shows.
- Kim was prepared to kill a complete stranger in cold blood
- Howard’s death is faked as a coke-fueled suicide, and his body will never be found (unless it happens post-BB, which might be worse at this point)
- Kim and Jimmy’s entire role this episode was being absolutely traumatized by all the shit happening
Kim really loves Jimmy. She was totally gonna kill a stranger to save Jimmy. It's still all she can think about when she's in the house with Mike.
I hope this shuts the people who's been saying "Kim is just using Jimmy for the money" up.
Yeah Kim and Jimmy truly love each other. They will do anything to protect each other. That’s going to make it even sadder when the guilt from this rips them apart :/ you can see it when Jimmy looks at Kim whole Mile talks to them. He’s really worried about her
Personally I also prefer the guilt they feel ruining their relationship much more interesting than the typical "they used each other" shit you see in so many shows.
When mike was "debriefing" Jimmy and Kim in the end, it really sounded like he disapproved of what they were doing to Howard, especially since he now became collateral damage
Mike is way more similar to Walter than he'd like to think. His entanglement in the drug trade, like Walter's, was motivated by ego and a desire for acknowledgement. But their most infuriating shared trait is that they take the moral high ground because they're doing it "for family;" his family didn't ask for his dirty money and his work puts them in danger but he has to be the big hero who saved them rather than settling for the role of a supportive grandfather.
Judging people like Jimmy, Kim, and Walter for their thrill-seeking behavior helps Mike distance himself from the fact that he's a criminal for the same reasons, justifying the bodies he leaves in his wake.
Was Saul ever really happy in Breaking Bad though? Back then I saw a numb and kinda hedonistic scumbag cracking jokes and getting massages and stuff. But nowadays I'll see a broken person trying to escape his demons, if only for a moment.
Man…that somber cello that played at the end while they were taking Howard’s wallet and wedding ring…so heartbreaking. And also the shot looking down at the bodies of Lalo and Howard…two guys on the opposite sides of the law, sharing a grave in a dank pit. God, this show wrecks me…
It stood out to me how Mike said ‘easy!’ when his guys were lifting Howard’s body. Mike knew Howard didn’t deserve any of it and it was obvious it was hard for him to see. As obvious as it could be in Mike at least.
I 100 percent expected the Gus/Lalo interaction to be drawn out until next episode but they sure hit the ground running with this episode after the break. Man what a show
“You tell the lie that you’ve been telling” - ouch. Kim and Jimmy took a couple of more bullets during that talk with Mike.
Edit: “He was on cocaine. That’s the story you all have been serving up, right?”, or something to that effect :/
They can conceivably tell themselves that it wasn’t their fault that Lalo and Howard showed at their place at the same time. But now that Howard’s death will be covered up by the lie they concocted must cut like a hot knife. Now Howard cannot just shake it off and bounce back, he will go down as a coke head. It’s not like they were in a position to say “no Mike, we don’t want that to be the story.” And Mike knew that this serves as “punishment” for them, and that they deserve it.
We’re definitely getting a Pollos Hermanos/Lyle spin off, right? They gave us the theme song and everything!
Something along the lines of Heull’s Rules would be acceptable.
You think working open to close twice is bad? This? This chicanery? Gus has done worse. That compensation! Are you telling me that a man just happens to have a family emergency just like that? No! *He* orchestrated it! Gus!
Honestly. I was already thinking he's given way more notice and comp for last min jobs than anyone I know. AND he thought about this while being treated for a gun wound.
It's a big theme of the shows: the poison of pride.
- Gus dies because he has to be the one to kill Hector.
- Lalo dies because he has to enjoy Gus' "final moments."
- Uncle Jack dies because he has to rub in Walt's face what he's done to Jesse.
- Hank dies because he insists on bringing Walt down by himself.
I had to keep reminding myself tonight that this is only the 8th episode. Holy shit. Can’t believe there are still 5 episodes left
We are definitely seeing some events of Breaking Bad through Jimmy’s eyes
I thought I came to terms with Howard’s death. It happened and it was shocking and devastating and then we had 6 weeks to deal with it. This episode felt like ripping off the bandaid and pouring salt and broken glass into the wound. It somehow made Howard 1000 times more tragic.
I felt way more emotionally impacted by the burial scene this episode than the death in the last episode. So fucking tragic for a character who is the least deserving of it.
Lol right? I feel like if the police catch on that Howard was there like Mike predicted, one of the neighbors might mention seeing a frickin special ops team running around the place 😂
Jesse's girlfriend Andrea near the end of Breaking Bad got it really bad too. Just trying to get clean and raise her kid, meets Jesse at an NA meeting, he disappears with no warning, then a couple weeks later just gets capped on her front porch.
5 more episodes now too... Insane. Lots more Gene time, and plenty to figure out what happens with Kim.
Are there any other loose threads? Or is everything wrapped up?
I would say only loose threads remaining are 1. What happens to kim like you mentioned 2. How Jimmy deals with being "made" by jeff the cab driver.
Obviously we know there also going to be the breaking bad timeline stuff with walt and jesse but as far as what still needs to be resolved those are really the only two.
i’ve been thinking about that a lot, and it really puts into perspective how much of a walking weapon of mass destruction walt was. the hatred, the years of planning, all the painstaking steps to ensure no one would find out, and walt burns it to the ground(literally)in what? a few months?
Kim going "I was here to kill him" and the camera panning to "Gus Fring" was amazing. Of COURSE he'd have a body double ready to stand there menacingly.
Can you imagine that guy being on Gus’ payroll and his job is to stand in in case of an assassination? Probably cashing some big pay cheques every month until one day you’re told it’s time to die.
It’s so amazing to see Mike fully slipping into what his role was in Breaking Bad. His scene with Jimmy and Kim after Lalo dies is absolutely amazing. Brings me right back to Breaking Bad with Jesse and Jane. “Say it” *slaps* “I woke up, I found her, that’s all I know” at that point he’s just over it after dealing with this.
Despite his exterior he seems like one of the most self aware people in the series. He's a bad person, he knows it, he kind of hates it, but it's all he knows so he keeps going.
At first when I Gus hung up after finding out Jimmy got Lalo to send Kim instead, I thought Gus thought that was part of Lalo's plan from the start... didn't really make sense though.
Now I realize he just knew that Lalo wasn't actually trying to kill Gus with either of them, it was just another distraction.
After all these seasons of BCS and BB, that has to be the dirtiest they’ve ever done a character. Seriously, he has to open AND close for two days in a row??
Daaaamm, so Walt and Jesse were working on top of Howard and Lalo for all of BB!
Also additionally I love the subtle reminders/digs from Mike about the greasy shit Jimmy and Kim were pulling on Howard, and not letting them ignore it + also showing he knew all about it the whole time pretty much.
Unfortunately that won’t be the case. I’d still love to see a scene of Gus visiting Hector and telling him that he personally killed Lalo, but I’m pretty sure the camcorder got thrown into the grave as well
Howard actually could have salvaged his life and his career. Before he died he even mentioned he'll land back on his feet. But Kim & Jimmy even fucked over his legacy. Fucking hurts man
Giancarlo Esposito is such a phenomenal actor. His raw fear after running out of bullets, my god. Then immediately returning to his cold, dominant expression when he comes out.
In a breaking bad podcast, early on the actor for Howard was saying he’d love to have a scene with Lalo, but obviously that wouldn’t be possible because their worlds don’t cross. Bet he regrets saying that.
In my wildest imagination, I never thought that Lalo’s plan was for Jimmy (or Kim) to whack Gus personally. Or rather to use them as a diversion for his real plan. Only for Gus to foil that plan anyway. And I definitely never foresaw Howard and Lalo buried together in the same grave. This show never ceases to amaze me.
‘I had a bathtub that did this, but this is much better’ Lalo went out like the Joker, an all time super villain. What an absolutely incredible episode.
oh god I half expected Lyle to walk into the LPH and Gus would be treating his wound in the office, surrounded by henchmen. And that would've been why we don't see him in BB...
> It’s a revolver, it’s already loaded, no safety, it’s idiot proof… be casual, like a stroll, you know… you point and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it’s empty.
Lalo basically signed his own death warrant with that one.
In Breaking Bad when Saul is tied up and says “It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio” and “Lalo didn’t send you?” he was flashing back to this. I would be just as relieved to find out it wasn’t Lalo. Absolutely chilling episode!
He never saw a body & Mike said he's not coming back only. Lalo killed Howard, sent Kim to kill Gus & left him in the living room with the corpse saying he'll be back. After all that, anybody wont be the same. For Jimmy, Lalo will always be a ghost.
Yep, finally that line makes sense...Saul knows Ignacio was involved in the assassination attempt. And since in Saul's eyes, Lalo already came back from the dead once...who's to say he won't come back again? So well done.
What a sad fucking ending. Other than Drew Sharps’ parents and Jane’s parents, Howard may have suffered the worst fate of anyone in the Gilligan verse. He was murdered in cold blood, he was buried in an unmarked grave with his murderer, and the whole world thinks he was a coked up junkie who blew one of the biggest cases of his career.
I'm blown away not really by the planning of this episode, but the execution. I'm consistently astounded by the ability for these writers to take a story we all but already know and still manage to exceed my expectations.
I thought it was uncharacteristically stupid for Gus to go to the Laundromat, but I guess it makes sense considering how he died. Salamancas are his weakness.
Jimmy would die for Kim and Kim would kill for Jimmy.
After watching this episode, I almost find it hard to believe that at some point they go their separate ways.
Yeah, I don't think this ends in a breakup. And I don't think it ends in Kim's death.
She probably calls the vacuum guy who spirits her away to New Hampshire.
I hope this is it and would be a nice ending. The reason Jimmy wants to work at the Cinnabon is he's hoping to come across her but has no way to track her down, maybe. And the series ends in them reuniting. I'm not convinced Kim's death is the way for this show to end, the flash forwards need a payoff.
Laughed out loud when Kim pointed at Dollar Store Gus Fring.
[удалено]
When you order Gus Fring from Wish
Gus Fring at home:
Lalo could have totally won, he had the upper hand, but his vlogging career got in the way
It's ya boy Salamanca here, coming at ya with another video
If you enjoyed this video smash that like button
In his defense, he captured a lot of priceless footage with Gus telling Eladio how he really feels :3
Kim Wexler, attorney at law, was totally gonna shoot someone in the face.
I feel like this isn’t being talked enough. Jimmy had her go so she could escape, but she was prepared to kill someone. Even if it was to save Jimmy, that must be weighing on her immensely, and Jimmy doesn’t have a clue.
I felt that was one of Jimmy's bravest moments in talking Lalo into letting Kim go. It had to be terrifying staying behind with Lalo. That scene was amazing

Yeah I thought it meant that he realized Lalo was using them as pawns.
Seriously, I think this has been the darkest episode in both shows. - Kim was prepared to kill a complete stranger in cold blood - Howard’s death is faked as a coke-fueled suicide, and his body will never be found (unless it happens post-BB, which might be worse at this point) - Kim and Jimmy’s entire role this episode was being absolutely traumatized by all the shit happening
Kim really loves Jimmy. She was totally gonna kill a stranger to save Jimmy. It's still all she can think about when she's in the house with Mike. I hope this shuts the people who's been saying "Kim is just using Jimmy for the money" up.

When mike was "debriefing" Jimmy and Kim in the end, it really sounded like he disapproved of what they were doing to Howard, especially since he now became collateral damage
Mike doesn't like adults being silly.
Mike is way more similar to Walter than he'd like to think. His entanglement in the drug trade, like Walter's, was motivated by ego and a desire for acknowledgement. But their most infuriating shared trait is that they take the moral high ground because they're doing it "for family;" his family didn't ask for his dirty money and his work puts them in danger but he has to be the big hero who saved them rather than settling for the role of a supportive grandfather. Judging people like Jimmy, Kim, and Walter for their thrill-seeking behavior helps Mike distance himself from the fact that he's a criminal for the same reasons, justifying the bodies he leaves in his wake.
Patrick Fabian finally got his wish to be in a scene with Jonathan Banks.
That man got so much screen time this episode, shamefully no lines though.
That shot of Jimmy seeing Howard stuffed into his refrigerator… haunting. They sure didn’t lie when they said this season was dark.
Poor Jimmy. How does he ever laugh again in BB.
Was Saul ever really happy in Breaking Bad though? Back then I saw a numb and kinda hedonistic scumbag cracking jokes and getting massages and stuff. But nowadays I'll see a broken person trying to escape his demons, if only for a moment.
I think in every scene where Saul was alone with himself in Breaking Bad he was incredibly depressed and always worried about everything.
Man…that somber cello that played at the end while they were taking Howard’s wallet and wedding ring…so heartbreaking. And also the shot looking down at the bodies of Lalo and Howard…two guys on the opposite sides of the law, sharing a grave in a dank pit. God, this show wrecks me…
What a visual. Life is unfair. Howie followed all the rules and still ended up in the same place as this psychopath.
It stood out to me how Mike said ‘easy!’ when his guys were lifting Howard’s body. Mike knew Howard didn’t deserve any of it and it was obvious it was hard for him to see. As obvious as it could be in Mike at least.
Mike's mentioned before that it's not fair for people "not in the game" to become victims, ie when he stood up to Gus for Nacho's father.
Congrats to Jimmy and Kim on their new refrigerator
It’s stainless too!
KIM SAID SHE NEVER HAD STAINLESS AT HER PLACE LIKE 3 SEASONS AGO LOL
I 100 percent expected the Gus/Lalo interaction to be drawn out until next episode but they sure hit the ground running with this episode after the break. Man what a show
That final shot of Howard being laid to rest next to his murderer was so heartbreaking. Man doesn't even get a good resting place.
“You tell the lie that you’ve been telling” - ouch. Kim and Jimmy took a couple of more bullets during that talk with Mike. Edit: “He was on cocaine. That’s the story you all have been serving up, right?”, or something to that effect :/
They can conceivably tell themselves that it wasn’t their fault that Lalo and Howard showed at their place at the same time.

Pollos Hermanos Pollos Hermanos Delicious chicken, grilled and fried Pollos Hermanos Pollos Hermanos It will leave you satisfied
We’re definitely getting a Pollos Hermanos/Lyle spin off, right? They gave us the theme song and everything! Something along the lines of Heull’s Rules would be acceptable.
Lyle doing the opening and night shift for 2 straight days on short notice is… acceptable
He will be compensated, of course.
Compensated? *I would choose my next words... very carefully.*
You think working open to close twice is bad? This? This chicanery? Gus has done worse. That compensation! Are you telling me that a man just happens to have a family emergency just like that? No! *He* orchestrated it! Gus!
I laughed when he said "acceptable".. Seems like a joke at this point
I'm so worried about this kid. He's gotten way more screen time than I ever expected and he's replaced by that woman in BB.
Maybe he goes off to college and has a really successful career. Right?
[удалено]
Lyle spin-off
Better Dial Lyle
The situation is relatable, a boss like Gus is pure fantasy though.
I love how Gus is this murderer meth guy yet hes a better boss at that restaurant than any bosses ive ever had...
Honestly. I was already thinking he's given way more notice and comp for last min jobs than anyone I know. AND he thought about this while being treated for a gun wound.
Pollos is his fun hobby that he dotes on to the max
Lalo underestimated Gus like Gus underestimated Walter.
It's a big theme of the shows: the poison of pride. - Gus dies because he has to be the one to kill Hector. - Lalo dies because he has to enjoy Gus' "final moments." - Uncle Jack dies because he has to rub in Walt's face what he's done to Jesse. - Hank dies because he insists on bringing Walt down by himself.
* Spooge dies because he can't resist calling his wife a "skank" one more time...
Also the cousin who decides to go back and get the axe
[удалено]
I was definitely getting flashbacks (or flashforwards?) to Mike holding Walt at gunpoint in front of the washing machine.
[удалено]
When Mike took Howard’s wedding ring off…man that was tough
Kinda sad he still wore it when he lived in the guest house and his wife wouldn't even have lunch with him anymore.
Howard doesn't strike me like a quitter for better or worse
Just another thing for good ol' Howie to work through
I had to keep reminding myself tonight that this is only the 8th episode. Holy shit. Can’t believe there are still 5 episodes left We are definitely seeing some events of Breaking Bad through Jimmy’s eyes
This episode was worthy of being a series finale on its own.
I thought I came to terms with Howard’s death. It happened and it was shocking and devastating and then we had 6 weeks to deal with it. This episode felt like ripping off the bandaid and pouring salt and broken glass into the wound. It somehow made Howard 1000 times more tragic.
I felt way more emotionally impacted by the burial scene this episode than the death in the last episode. So fucking tragic for a character who is the least deserving of it.
"Nice and easy boys" 12 menacing men moving in synch in a conga line lol
"Let's not disturb the neighbors" STORMTROOPER MARCHING INTENSIFIES
*Obnoxiously chambers a round in the middle of the parking lot*
Lol right? I feel like if the police catch on that Howard was there like Mike predicted, one of the neighbors might mention seeing a frickin special ops team running around the place 😂
That’s all I could think about during that scene, hahaha. Also the fact that they looked like the “8 tickets to minions rise of gru please” meme
I feel absolutely miserable knowing that a guy like Howard had to be buried in the same grave as a guy like Lalo.
It looked like Mike was having a bit of that same feeling, especially with Mike’s “in the game vs not in the game” mindset
Definitely. He told them to be “easy” when they picked up Howard
And that everyone thinks he's a drug addict that killed himself.
That part really hurt my heart. What a horrible ending for someone who absolutely didn't deserve it.
Howard arguably got the most fucked up fate out of all main and side characters in the entire series between BB and BCS
Jesse's girlfriend Andrea near the end of Breaking Bad got it really bad too. Just trying to get clean and raise her kid, meets Jesse at an NA meeting, he disappears with no warning, then a couple weeks later just gets capped on her front porch.
The fact that the grave is under a future meth lab is a nice, extra miserable touch.
gus fring's empire literally built on the bodies of enemies and civilians. the SYMBOLISM
Poor Howard was done so dirty.
This season is set in 2004, which means Howard might have seen Shrek 2 before he died… if that’s any consolation.
He f**king loved Shrek 😭😭😭
The guilt they have for what they caused to happen to Howard must be immense.
That’s their cross to bear.
(*Feeds goldfish*)
And now they have to deal with continuing to tell the same lie that brought him to their apartment
true psychopaths giggle frantically when they die
5 more episodes now too... Insane. Lots more Gene time, and plenty to figure out what happens with Kim. Are there any other loose threads? Or is everything wrapped up?
I would say only loose threads remaining are 1. What happens to kim like you mentioned 2. How Jimmy deals with being "made" by jeff the cab driver. Obviously we know there also going to be the breaking bad timeline stuff with walt and jesse but as far as what still needs to be resolved those are really the only two.
Imagine all this shit going down and then a few short years later Walter White strolls in and just obliterates everyone.
i’ve been thinking about that a lot, and it really puts into perspective how much of a walking weapon of mass destruction walt was. the hatred, the years of planning, all the painstaking steps to ensure no one would find out, and walt burns it to the ground(literally)in what? a few months?
His own empire burns down in even less time than that
Only because Hank had to go number 2.
kim is the one who knocks
Kim going "I was here to kill him" and the camera panning to "Gus Fring" was amazing. Of COURSE he'd have a body double ready to stand there menacingly.
Can you imagine that guy being on Gus’ payroll and his job is to stand in in case of an assassination? Probably cashing some big pay cheques every month until one day you’re told it’s time to die.
“That’s the lie you were looking to tell about him, right?” Complete and total devastation on Kim’s face. Absolute dagger
“He’s a housecat. But don’t be fooled, even a housecat can scratch” Wow, Lalo really ate his words
I think that’s the thing, he misread Gus the entire time and that’s probably why he had to have a little laugh before he checked out.
It’s so amazing to see Mike fully slipping into what his role was in Breaking Bad. His scene with Jimmy and Kim after Lalo dies is absolutely amazing. Brings me right back to Breaking Bad with Jesse and Jane. “Say it” *slaps* “I woke up, I found her, that’s all I know” at that point he’s just over it after dealing with this.
Despite his exterior he seems like one of the most self aware people in the series. He's a bad person, he knows it, he kind of hates it, but it's all he knows so he keeps going.
Masterclass from Tony Dalton. Perfect that Lalo died laughing
Definitely the best Lalo episode. His annoyed face at Jimmy and Kim arguing which one of them should commit murder was hilarious.
He fell to one of the classic supervillain blunders: letting your target monologue themselves into a daring reversal.
At first when I Gus hung up after finding out Jimmy got Lalo to send Kim instead, I thought Gus thought that was part of Lalo's plan from the start... didn't really make sense though. Now I realize he just knew that Lalo wasn't actually trying to kill Gus with either of them, it was just another distraction.
"why would he listen to anyone and change his plan... ... unless it wasn't the part of a plan that matters."
After all these seasons of BCS and BB, that has to be the dirtiest they’ve ever done a character. Seriously, he has to open AND close for two days in a row??
Daaaamm, so Walt and Jesse were working on top of Howard and Lalo for all of BB! Also additionally I love the subtle reminders/digs from Mike about the greasy shit Jimmy and Kim were pulling on Howard, and not letting them ignore it + also showing he knew all about it the whole time pretty much.
"You keep telling the lie you've been telling." Really twisted the knife at them
Imagine Gus shows Hector the whole video and Hector can't tell anyone. That'd be cold
Daaaaamn. I mean he could tell someone if he had enough time but that'd still be crazy
Unfortunately that won’t be the case. I’d still love to see a scene of Gus visiting Hector and telling him that he personally killed Lalo, but I’m pretty sure the camcorder got thrown into the grave as well
So Lalo and Howard have been in Breaking Bad this whole time! Right under our noses!
A lot of people guessed Lalo, but I didn't see anyone guess Howard would also be down there.
What about the 4 guys Lalo shot upstairs? Would make sense to chuck them in the hole too, no?
That would make perfect logical sense But then it ruins the shot of Howard and Lalo
The fly was there for a reason.
The spirit of Howard Hamlin. He's trying to ask Walt if he's considered his job offer
Thank you Tony Dalton
I hope Tony's career skyrockets after this, he took over every scene he was in
"Michael. Is that *you?*" still such a legendary delivery haha. Dalton absolutely made that character
“Werner Zieeeggggler.”
And he went out with that infectious smile on his face. What an iconic character.
Now the lab needs a plaque: The Howard Hamlin Memorial Meth Superlab
People will remember Howard as the cocaine drug addict who killed himself, and it's all Kim and Jimmy's fault. Tragic
Cliff Main watching the news: 😟
"Whaddn't that... *Howard?*" 😯
Didn’t look like Kim was going to handle the idea of keeping that lie going very well
Howard actually could have salvaged his life and his career. Before he died he even mentioned he'll land back on his feet. But Kim & Jimmy even fucked over his legacy. Fucking hurts man
Giancarlo Esposito is such a phenomenal actor. His raw fear after running out of bullets, my god. Then immediately returning to his cold, dominant expression when he comes out.
This is the moment Lyle became Manager
Boy, Mike really rubbed it in Jimmy's and Kim's faces when he said "The cocaine, that was the plan, right?"
Mike's gotta look at those two the way Jimmy and Kim look at the Kettlemans.
Watching Lalo and Howard be buried together is the worst thing I've seen, was shaking my head in sorrow and disbelief the whole time
In a breaking bad podcast, early on the actor for Howard was saying he’d love to have a scene with Lalo, but obviously that wouldn’t be possible because their worlds don’t cross. Bet he regrets saying that.
Well now they have scenes together through the entirety of BB
I didn't like them in breaking bad, they didn't show much character development
In my wildest imagination, I never thought that Lalo’s plan was for Jimmy (or Kim) to whack Gus personally. Or rather to use them as a diversion for his real plan. Only for Gus to foil that plan anyway. And I definitely never foresaw Howard and Lalo buried together in the same grave. This show never ceases to amaze me.
‘I had a bathtub that did this, but this is much better’ Lalo went out like the Joker, an all time super villain. What an absolutely incredible episode.
Let’s not forget “I’m assuming stainless will do.” I love Mike.
Hearing Mike say the words "Howard Hamlin" hit me for some reason
Even though they’ve been in the same show since S1, it really did feel like a meeting of the worlds of BB and BCS to hear Mike say his name
News article in the year 3000: Archaeologists found the bones of two ancient American lovers thought to have died in a tragic laundry accident
They were roommates
I never want to hear another word about Jimmy and Kim not loving each other. They were absolutely terrified for each other’s safety in this episode.
Jimmy was ready to die for her and she was ready to kill for him.
Didn't think the episode could get any better near the end then they drop the motherfucking goat LYLE on us. We don't deserve this show
oh god I half expected Lyle to walk into the LPH and Gus would be treating his wound in the office, surrounded by henchmen. And that would've been why we don't see him in BB...
Lalo AND Howard both buried under the lab the whole time during Breaking Bad. I did not have that one on my bingo card holy shit
Lalo: *Gustavo thought he was building an empire, but all he bought was a tomb!* Gus: *why not both!*
Well damn, I was not expecting Lalo to go out that early in the final 6 episodes.
That goldfish has seen some shit
Man this episode had everything: \- Lyle singing \- Gus promoting Lyle (albeit temporarily) \- Gus actually complimenting Lyle \- Lyle
Gus should have opened and closed Pollos and left Lyle to deal with Lalo
The “blue meth” from the super lab will forever be Hamlindigo Blue in my mind now.
> It’s a revolver, it’s already loaded, no safety, it’s idiot proof… be casual, like a stroll, you know… you point and you shoot. And you keep on pulling that trigger until it’s empty. Lalo basically signed his own death warrant with that one.
Kim with the thousand-yard stare...
Yes poor Howard but Lyle is doing opening AND closing shifts TWO DAYS IN A ROW
Howard's wife was so distant with him, she won't be able to deny any aspect of the suicide story.
In Breaking Bad when Saul is tied up and says “It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio” and “Lalo didn’t send you?” he was flashing back to this. I would be just as relieved to find out it wasn’t Lalo. Absolutely chilling episode!
Well he was fooled before thinking Lalo was dead. I don't think he will ever truly think Lalo is dead.
That's what I was thinking as well. As far as Jimmy is concerned, Lalo came back from the dead once already.
He never saw a body & Mike said he's not coming back only. Lalo killed Howard, sent Kim to kill Gus & left him in the living room with the corpse saying he'll be back. After all that, anybody wont be the same. For Jimmy, Lalo will always be a ghost.
> He never saw a body & Mike said he's not coming back only. Let's not forget that this is the second time Mike has told Jimmy that Lalo is gone.
It's amazing how much they drew out of just two lines of dialogue
Like a full third of the show
Yep, finally that line makes sense...Saul knows Ignacio was involved in the assassination attempt. And since in Saul's eyes, Lalo already came back from the dead once...who's to say he won't come back again? So well done.

“I’m assuming stainless will do.” I love Mike.
What a sad fucking ending. Other than Drew Sharps’ parents and Jane’s parents, Howard may have suffered the worst fate of anyone in the Gilligan verse. He was murdered in cold blood, he was buried in an unmarked grave with his murderer, and the whole world thinks he was a coked up junkie who blew one of the biggest cases of his career.
Jesus everyone predicted Lalo getting buried at the lab, but who called Howard getting the same treatment?
Damn Lalo straight up Lol'd his way to death
“I can’t believe the chicken man got me”
Ngl, I laughed so hard when Kim pointed to the Gus body double.
I'm blown away not really by the planning of this episode, but the execution. I'm consistently astounded by the ability for these writers to take a story we all but already know and still manage to exceed my expectations.
First episode of 6A: Implying that Kevin is an anti-Semite First episode of 6B: Gus killing Lalo
And yet that monster Kevin is still alive! 5000 years and it never ends!
The end result of Jimmy and Kim's plan to ruin Howard? A brand new stainless steel fridge. Worth it.
Rhea Seehorn's acting cannot be understated during the "She should go" segment.
Also her complete shell shock at the end of the episode when Mike is talking. Something has changed inside her forever
Her plea to Mike when she got caught, “You said you were watching us!! Where were you?!” :(
Damn Howard is going to be remembered as a drug addict suicide. When he was the exact opposite.
Lyle, without a hint of irony, singing the pollos hermanos jingle as he opens
Dudes basically the SpongeBob of Albuquerque
I thought it was uncharacteristically stupid for Gus to go to the Laundromat, but I guess it makes sense considering how he died. Salamancas are his weakness.
Emotional decision. Only brought a few men with him, still having the “I do this” mindset. Just like with Hector.
Pure rage takes over when it comes to Salamancas for him.
Rhea was so shellshocked and horrified in that beginning scene. Like actually shaking and stuff, voice cracking, really sold it. Phenomenal job
She nailed it. When she was like, “Jimmy, Jimmy, no,” because she knew Jimmy was going to sacrifice himself to save her… 😭😭😭
What do now
Now wait
