Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Mike’s tragic past comes back to haunt him, and he’s forced to seek help from an unusual source. Meanwhile, Jimmy’s moral compass is put to the test.
Our Take
This is a quiet, heavy hour built almost entirely around Jonathan Banks, and he earns every minute of it. The flashback structure pays off with a gut-punch confession scene that reframes everything you thought about Mike. Jimmy’s storyline is barely there, but that’s fine. Worth your time even if you came for the lawyer stuff.
