Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Kim and Jimmy enlist a knowledgeable contact. Howard scrutinizes Jimmy’s business practices. Mike refuses to compromise as tensions mount within Gus’ operation. Lalo interrogates a witness.

Our Take

This one’s mostly setup, and it moves a little slower than the episodes around it, but the flashback structure pays off nicely and gives Kim some welcome depth. Howard’s suspicions finally start building toward something, even if the Mike and Lalo threads feel like treading water. Worth watching, just don’t expect the season’s big moments here.
