With this episode being called "Breathe" I kind of figured this would feature Hector and his condition, especially after him being wheeled away very recently.

Tickles me how much Saul's background lets him relate to Neff's 'wall of crap' with him working in a mail room, making counterfeit ID, and knowing old people. Naturally, since Charisma is Saul's highest stat, the Neff guys like him a fair deal. I'm wracking my brain because I'm certain I've seen/heard the name 'Neff' before either in a prior season or on Breaking Bad. I feel like there is a connection, or maybe I've just seen a wayward internet comment or two.

...and unfortunately Wisdom is lacking because then he turns around and berates the guys for hiring him. Clearly he's got a time machine and has been stalking Walt because this is pretty much that tier of crazy.

Hector scenes doing some nice work. We see a mysterious grant letting a fancy pants doctor in...I like how much deference the resident doctor shows her. Those two cousins are there being super stoic. Even Nacho shows up and has a little chit-chat about the current state of Hector's empire.

Damn, Kim flaring up hard. I adore Howard as a character, and absolutely love the actor's ability to bring him to life, but Kim...Kim just devastates his intentions. I think this is the most passionate I've seen her, I like it!

Speaking of passion, she and Saul do a little dinner and a movie years before netflix existed. I look the date netflix was founded just to double check that my little jest is valid, and it turns out that netflix was founded in 1997. 2020 strikes again.

Late at night, Saul goes online to look at bavarian boys and sees that they are worth over 8k.

And as the episode draws to a close, Gus lets us know what it is like to not be able to breathe oxygen very well. Not quite a box cutter, and Nacho definitely gets off a bit easy here, but effective nevertheless.

"From now on, you...are...mine" - Gus, putting a number of more powerful villains to shame. Like, Darth Vader has super powers and the ability to blow up planets. What does Gus have? A few people willing to tie plastic around people's heads and some chicken restaurants. Yet slap the two in a head on match against one another, and I think my money's on Gus.

The way the plastic crinkles with the dude's dying breaths...such a glorious detail.
