Jimmy referred the case to Howard and Cliff, and stands to make a few million dollars once the settlement is complete-but Howard is insisting on holding out for even more money. ![]() In case you haven’t set aside 10% of your brain to store Better Call Saul plot details, these are the old people whom Jimmy and his brother, Chuck, discovered way back in Season 1 were being systematically overcharged by their retirement home, Sandpiper Crossing. Probably he’s just antsy because he’s so excited to remind his Sandpiper class-action plaintiffs why it’s in their interest to wait endlessly to receive their settlement money. Speaking of shook, what is going on with Howard’s jiggling leg? I get that he’s not really on coke, but ease up on the Adderall, my dude. We’ve never seen Gus this shook, have we? Just kidding! He’s so nervous he can’t even upsell a customer on the signature spicy curly fries without having a panic attack, which is a true testament to Lalo’s destructive powers.

It’s some kind of … measuring instrument. At first, I thought we were back in Gus’s superlab with Walt and Gale cooking up a batch of Blue Sky. Obviously, on the surface, it’s reminiscent of the loving depictions of crystal-meth manufacturing that were so prevalent in Breaking Bad. I’m doing my best to wiki-search so you don’t have to, but if I miss something, please do let me know.Ĭase in point: this cold open. But now that I’m on the hook, I have to say … this series has more arcane lore than Game of Thrones. You know, when I volunteered to write about the final season of Better Call Saul, I was thinking mainly about how enjoyable I found the show’s shambolic energy.
