Fantastic episode. As soon as Lalo walked in I knew Howard was dead. And I wondered if maybe Kim would get it too. My only problem with the Howard storyline is that it is very similar to Chuck’s in that Jimmy (and now Kim) are scamming on him and he figures it out to a tee, and then it doesn’t actually matter and they get away with it. That being said, it’s a minor gripe for me and didn’t bother me much at all.

The candle shite was great. And put me in the camp that right off the bat thought Howard has brought his own hit man. I was kinda wondering if he was gonna go off the deep end for good and have Kim murdered in front of Jimmy.

The guy who plays Lalo is so fricking great. You just 100% buy into him being a total psycho/sociopath and off his hinges, while simultaneously being in complete control. He’s a great actor.

Kim was looking good in the beginning of the episode.

No Gene in this half of the season is borderline inexcusable though. But I suspect we will get things wrapped up and have a heavy dose of Gene in part two (we better, otherwise it will feel like a waste).

This isn’t recency bias for me, and I’ve been saying it for a while now, but this show is just better than BB. Just the way it’s crafted and the suspense building just right, it’s incredible television. And while this half season has had a couple of lulls, it’s still been a great ride and it’s not as low as parts of S5 of BB for me.
