There was nothing, bud. Howard’s wife asked why she was doing this, and it cut away before she answered. I think it was just a surge of emotion after the trauma of the meeting.

She asks Kim if she’s going to be arrested, postures a civil suit, but for all intents and purposes, Kim’s waterworks were brought on by catharsis of easing her burden by admitting to her part in Howard’s death

Ok. We missed her saying that. Thanks

Jimmy approaching Marion with the telephone cord in his hands was reminiscent of Walt standing over his family with a knife in Ozymandias.

damm intense as fuck. The very downfall of Saul. Cant imagine a good ending for him.

Loved everything but the scene with Kim and Jesse. Felt fan service. I was expecting R2 to appear or something.

I thought this, too. That, acting like Miracle Whip was a new product, and the black and white made it feel like Wandavision. The sex scene with the guy saying Yup or whatever had a Fargo quality to it. Some really odd choices.

Fan service. Maybe some show runners playing in their sandbox too much? There’s a chance that’s our last Kim scene?

Either way, Aaron Paul definitely read as early Jesse, who was annoying as it was

Disagree. It was a vehicle for Kim to express how she felt about Jimmy immediately after their divorce was made official. It was also a nice way for the BB and BCS timelines to come together.

This show is a spin-off none of us knew we wanted. When it was announced, I thought, “What a terrible idea.” It’s been better than BB every step of the way, and I appreciate that the Walt and Jesse appearances have been meaningful rather than just Saul is in the foreground and they happen to be walking in the background.

The "This is what Kim is doing now" bit could have been cut in half.

Amazing episode. A perfect one had they cut that Jesse scene. I can’t bring myself to say anything too bad about a show I love so much so I’m just gonna forget it happened.

Also: Rhea. Motherfucking. Seehorn.

It was meant to lull you into the mind-numbing monotony of what her life has become and it makes the phone call that much more impactful.
