Yes, a lot of time had passed. There was a clock or something earlier before he looked at this watch and it was much later. Have no idea what it means, though...

Yeah, messy was the wrong word. Tangled is better.

Really curious where all of these allusions to UFO's is going.

Wow, this just keeps getting better. Great tension (and excellent use of split screen) in the latest with a nice touch of levity from Nick Offerman. But why would Hank leave Peggy alone?
Loving this show; easily my favorite one on right now. Totally binge worthy too.
