First quarter of this episode all about Mike and a peek into his past...it's pretty much what I expected it to be like.

Back in the show's present, we're still on Mike who summons Saul by chanting 'lawyer' three times in front of some cops. Never figured Mike for a magician, but he is a man of many talents and few words.

This is kinda like the first episode, there is a LOT to absorb here regarding Mike's background, and frankly I'm only barely keeping afloat with my general knowledge of who and what Mike is from BB.

I like how when we go back to the past, presumably to Philly, the universal sign of 'we're not in Albuquerque' is that there is snow on the ground. Happened in New Hampshire too. Man, it is so weird seeing Mike operate in anything other than peak condition. Except given what he did (with the aim he had) and some of the actions before the goons were on him, he must have been expertly acting drunk to guide their actions. Mike never fails to amaze.

"I broke my boy" Welp. Now I can say it is weird seeing him operate in less than peak condition. Here Mike is having emotions and stuff. :'(

Very little Saul this episode, he was more like a guest star. This one was all about Mike and now a lot of my confusion earlier in the episode is gone, I'm left walking away thinking I know Mike that much better. On that front, quite the excellent episode!
