is anybody having trouble getting back into this? It's been so long since I was into these storylines I don't remember what the hell is going on

---

that's why you binge the previous season before the new season starts bruh

eta: like rebel said there's a bunch of recap videos you can watch, I think there's some 10-15 minute SEason 5 recap vids on youtube that would probably be helpful. And if you can find the time, it might not hurt to watch the S5 finale just to roll right into s6

Maybe this has been answered, but how did Lalo know who Werner's widow was and where to find her?

Is it just me or was everyone else impressed by Werner's ability to pull trim.

She's not drop dead gorgeous or anything, but way hotter in an old lady way than I though Werner could pull.

There’s a good season 5 recap video out there, about 15 minutes long. It should be easy to find.

Just how difficult would it be to find a Margarethe Zeigler that has the same address as a Werner Zeigler?

I think it has something to do with the big picture of everything with HHM, but I can't put my finger on it either. It's pretty complex going all the way back to the beginning when Jimmy wanted to buy out Chuck's share of the firm when he was still sick. Then there was the initial thing with the Kettleman's & Kim and then the Mesa Verde stuff.

Something really set Jimmy off when Howard offered him a job at HHM though.

Someone suggested howard was more of a scapegoat since his brother is dead. i think thats a part of it as well as howards past conflict with jimmy and kim. its only been about year since chuck's death and jimmy more recently got his license unsupsended from that. so the conflict with howard is still fresh despite the fact that it howard was only indirectly gatekeeping. howard kept bringing it up offering 'reparations' type deals for jimmy, as if howard still was in a power position over jimmy.

also howard was a part of not getting that girl jimmy wanted to get the scholarship. he is basically a symbol of the self-righteous powers that be that provided many obstacles for jimmy getting into law.

plus targeting howard makes sense for scamming because it can potentially make bank from the settlement. although I dont really think they would have targeted howard had he just kept his space and not tried to butt in offering jobs or warning kimmy about jimmy. a flaw for them this series is they keep looking for the next con, and howard positioned himself for being the next con.

so i think its more that they are trying to justify their con on howard with somewhat misplaced hate. bc they had tried to only 'use their powers for good', but that is slowly getting corrupted.

Question for anyone that recalls. Does anyone in the Cartel besides the Salamancas know that Lalo is alive?

We know Hector knows, does the rest of the cartel think he's dead still? I don't think we've seen anyone else with that knowledge yet.

---

only hector on the cartel side as far as anything to be evidenced from the show. maybe something offscreen happened, but that seems unlikely in this show.
