What a dick move for David and Main to run an ad after chastising Saul for doing so. Adding insult to injury it is styled like their prior work. They clearly liked the idea of the ad and saw it worked, they just hated that it had production values apparently.

Mike metaphorically and physically rolls out the welcome mat.

Hey, Schweikart dude, never getting that name right, likes a Moscow Mule. Clear proof that he's not such a bad fellow despite being on the opposition.

You know, I bet some people look at Mike snooping around his own house as evidence of slow pacing, but I'd argue this speaks volumes about Mike modus operandi. Not that I'm unwise to Mike's deal, but it certainly fits the plot beats that have been tossed out. And as an added bonus, we get a scenic tour of Mike's house. Which, like Chucks house kinda looks like it is just a set piece because wowza there's some weirdly strong lighting going on for the viewer's benefit. I'm just saying, I don't normally see moonlight pouring in from nowhere when it's the dead of night and I'm slowly moving down a hallway.

Also, special shout out to Billy Mays who is still alive in this time period. Also, special shout out to Mike who takes the slap chop to heart as he slaps and chops these goons down like nothing. Could have probably offed them justifiably in self defense too, but that's unwanted attention and Mike's not quite there yet. This pressure keeps up, hard to say though.

Dudes just standing on that wall, waiting for Mike to notice them...pretty clear message, surely this will make him go John Wick on these people. You don't threaten someone's kid unless you are prepared to face consequences.

I see Kim's taken a shine to the Moscow Mule and lying about who they are.

Oh hello there Saul, good to see you. Almost forgot you were in this episode. Still dragging Erin around I see. And then Kim calls him looking for a con job. Naturally he'd take any excuse to cut away given how Orwellian Davis and Main have become. They couldn't be more anti-Saul if they tried.

I could chat about how Kim and Saul are buttering this guy up to a scam, but I'm more interested in Mike's meeting with Hector. The facial movements Hector is able to pull off here in the past is just blowing my mind, he's so expressive and it's like...the same guy. And this was shot in the future but this Hector looks younger. None of this makes any sense!

Episode ends with Saul finally 'fixing' that damn cupholder. It was funny the first time or two, but what sane person would keep trying it expecting it to one day magically work? You either buy a cup that fits, or install a different model. That said, the fact that it makes no sense signals to me that it is probably one of those metaphor things like how Saul is a 'bad fit' for the firm, but here we see him forcing himself to fit even if it means breaking the firm a bit to do it. Fuck, that has to be it. Vince does seem to love his visual metaphors.
