![]() Will that mean working with Mike and Gus to take out Lalo? Or making sure he goes to prison for the rest of his life? Jimmy will do whatever it takes to protect Kim. Will this be her ‘scared straight’ moment? Kim, more than anyone, is responsible for Howard’s death. Why did Lalo go to Jimmy and Kim and not to the laundry? How can he use them to get to Fring? ![]() We know Jimmy will adapt to his new role but will Kim? Or does she disappear? Lalo killing Howard, in essence, also ‘kills’ the legal careers of both Kim and Jimmy. Just seeing Lalo and Howard standing next to each other seemed surreal, like a live action figure was in the same movie as a cartoon figure. Holy crap! I did not expect that to happen. Howard’s blood splatters across the wall, he falls and hits his head on the table and lands on the floor. Just as Howard is about to speak again, Lalo points the gun at Howard’s head and shoots. “I think I’m in the middle of something” Howard nervously says. She begs him to leave but Lalo tells him to take his time as he pulls a gun out of his jacket and screws on a silencer. “I’m just here to talk to my lawyers.” Lalo says. The unsuspecting Howard doesn’t notice that someone has walked in and approaching them. All of a sudden the look on Jimmy and Kim’s faces change. Just as things are getting heated between them Jimmy notices the flame on the candle flicker again, just as it did earlier when he opened the door for Howard. he calls them sociopaths which I don’t think is true but they are sociopaths in the making. He asks why they did it? What had he done to deserve them trying to ruin his good name? He comes to the conclusion that they did it for fun. He explains that whenever HHM won a big case, mostly thanks to Chuck, they would celebrate by drinking McCallan’s. He looks disheveled, probably drunk and he’s brought Jimmy a bottle of McCallan’s. Kim notices the flame on the candle flicker as Howard walks in. It feels they were expecting it to be Howard so Jimmy goes to open the door. That evening, Jimmy and Kim are curled up on the couch, watching Born yesterday (1950) on TV and finishing up a bottle of bubbly when there is a knock at the door. Was the whole con just a long exercise in foreplay? As the conference call came to an end Jimmy and Kim could be seen in the background, celebrating their victory by having passionate sex. The whole time Jimmy and Kim have been listening in on the conference call. They have to settle immediately or get nothing. he knows he’s been conned but it doesn’t matter. He knows that the photos were switched by the planted P.I. He puts together that Jimmy managed to get his own man hired as P.I. He figures out that there was some chemical on the photos that made his eyes dilate. Howard is rattled but he puts it all together. Howard looks like a stark raving lunatic. Then they notice how dilated his eyes are, the drug working it’s magic. They show Jimmy handing a frisbee to some guy with a mustache, clearly not the judge. However, the photos in the manila envelope are different. He tells his secretary to go back to his office and bring the photos on his desk. Howard and Cliff enter the sandpiper mediation meeting and when Judge Casimiro walks in Howard takes the bait. delivers the photos to Howard who immediately notices they are wet and the trap is set. They develop the film, lace the photos with the drug the veterinarian gave them and Jimmy puts them in a manila envelope and hands them off to Howard’s P.I., who we now see, works for Jimmy. Kim shows up and assists with creating the phony arm cast and sling and they shoot in the park. Jimmy makes the mad scramble to re-assemble his film team to take new incriminating photos with their lookalike judge. Mike left Tyrus and his team at the laundry so Lalo could take them out. They just need to wait for him to show up. Gus is to go straight home as if nothing is different. He’s pulled his people off all other low priority spots and directed them to Gus’ house. Hector can ring that damn bell all he wants, it doesn’t matter. ![]() The Chicken Man! So he calls back and knowing Gus will hear him, he tells Hector that he couldn’t find the proof so he’s going back to Plan A. ![]() He calls his uncle to let him know that he has the proof now to go to Don Eladio but while on hold he hears a funny noise. He’s casing out the laundry where Gus has built his underground meth lab. He’s living in the sewer, coming up at night to visit the local gas station to take a shower then back down he goes. The mid-season finale promised fireworks and I almost thought we wouldn’t see any….and then the last ten minutes happened.
