Oh. Well, they certainly didn't have me wait too long for Mike to do his thing. Out in the middle of nowhere pulling a cartoon antic to rob from the bad guys. Still a little fuzzy on motivation, other than needing to suddenly pay for a nicer house for his daughter-in-law, but it is sure nice to see Mike being a little more proactive. I wonder how long he can shake down Tuco's outside contracts before something nasty happens. Also, it never fails to amuse me how these places always have big enough windows for us audience folk to make out what's happening.

And Saul's plan blooms spectacularly. Love how Chuck in his arrogance, flat out tells the Mesa Verde they're wrong, even after being confronted with evidence to the contrary. He really takes issue to this minor error. I think even von Karma would tell him to chill out for a bit.

Oooh, Chuck's suspicions seem to run deep and he summons the relevant parties to his lair. Even changes the locks. This is starting to feel like it is gonna be a legal case without the courtroom. Who will win the fight for truth?

Lots of emotional bombshells going off. Chuck makes the right case, and Saul makes a reasonable defense, but Kim makes lots of emotional sense in that Chuck's demeanor towards Saul has helped Saul be how he is. Both have their share of the blame. Heck, she probably realizes Chuck is right on some level, but is still managing to side with Saul.

Such hoops just to get a shot of a flag behind him. It is as creative as it is bold.

Speaking of bold, Mike goes for another meeting with Nacho with Nacho pretty convinced Mike was the one who did Hector some financial harm. This whole 'not pulling the trigger' thing is forcing me to draw some parallels between Mike and Jesse. Perhaps they had more in common than I care to admit.

Nacho lays out Mike's motivation...to strike back at Hector as well as get cops on him. Nacho also informs him that a random innocent person got killed as part of the cleanup. Even when you try and play nice, innocents can suffer so why not take out the baddies to begin with. Heck, I'm thinking I heard him say something to that effect to Jesse in some conversation.

More importantly, Saul's got 'the best 60 seconds of television ever' made and is poised to show it off the next day. But first he's gotta cover his tracks more at the printing place because his brother is very intelligent, as vampires are known to be.

Oof...that was a very chunky sound as Chuck smacked into the counter. Bad idea going into a place that's 95% electricity. The kicker of it all is that Saul had to watch too to make sure it all went to his wishes, and if he rushes in to help his brother he's then basically admitting guilt. Where will his loyalties lie?
