[@DarkHarlequin]

I mean to be fair it really on indirectly resulted in his death by making Howard be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lalo wasn't some part of their plan. Like this could have also happened if howard came by after he made up with Jimmy. Still I get how its tragically convenient/fitting.

[@rafaelfernando5304]

@@DarkHarlequin Jimmy was the Guy who took Lalo out of the jail for a similar crime. He Denied Howard's job proposal but accepted Lalo's money even knowing that he was guilty. Jimmy is not guilty for Howard's death, but he is responsible for Lalo being on the streets doing whatever he wants. He took actions that caused Howard's death.

Hats off to Jonathan Banks. In this whole monologue, Mike emits so many emotions toward these two-incredulity, contempt, concern and above all a threatening menace. In every word, flatly and calmly delivered, you can feel how much anger he has and the fight inside of him to keep it professional. At least Nacho was in the game-he got dealt a bad hand, but he was a player in the game. He knew the risks. Mike knew Howard wasn’t- and he obviously knew the con they were pulling and didn’t approve of it. Mike’s no saint, but he has a code-no innocent bystanders get hurt. And now he has to clean up a mess that wouldn’t exist if not for a lie against such a person, and in doing that he has to trash the man’s reputation completely after being gunned down because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And while Mike isn’t above lying, he would only do it for what he thought was a good reason. The whole thing with Howard? Mike would consider that contemptible and juvenile.

Having watched their arcs in “Better Call Saul,” the really fascinating thing I notice about Saul and Mike in “Breaking Bad” is how they revert back to their original personalities. In “BCS,” Jimmy turns into Saul while Mike becomes a jaded hitman. In “Breaking Bad,” Saul gradually reverts to his Jimmy persona while Mike, through his relationship with Jesse, gradually starts to become more emotionally open and vulnerable again. It’s really poetic when you think about it. Both characters try to change in response to their cynical perceptions of the world and themselves, but they end up being forced to face who they really are at the end of the day.

@jcorb So?

[@hovz-zo8lf]

The last thing that needs to be made about this universe is a fake documentary about everything that happened. The only people interviewed should be some of the survivors because realistically others wouldn't talk. But they need to play it like it's a documentary of a real crime.

[@creed0795]

Everybody gangsta until mike says: here‘s what’s gonna happen…

[@ovskii96]

This feels so much like a mirror of Mike's first scene in Breaking Bad.

[@amandeepdash9014]

I think, in their relationship, Jimmy somewhat appreciated that Kim was more morally upright than him. Sure, he loved little schemes with her but always looked for her opinion on things he does and respected her. Lately, he hadn't been happy about Kim joining the dark side, most evident from his reaction to how she blackmailed and intimated the Kettlemans, that's something Jimmy would never do. And now, Kim was totally going to kill an innocent person (from her perspective) to save Jimmy's life. I don't think Jimmy knows that yet, and I think he's really not gonna like how low Kim has dropped her morals. Either this will repel him from her, or push him further towards being the Saul that's okay with suggesting stabbing Badger in the chow line.

[@spacemann1425]

Jimmy sent Kim so that he can put her out of danger's way. He knew Mike would be waiting for her there and she would be safe, while he'd be unsafe with Lalo.

[@altafkalam2716]

I think Howard's death is going to knock Kim back to her senses. She had some guilt over what they did to Chuck back in the day even though Chuck deserved it and they had no choice. With Howard, she really didn't think it was gonna be all that serious. But now the guy is dead and she'd partly responsible. I think she'll now realise how bad of an influence Jimmy has been on her, a question Jimmy himself has asked her before. She leaves Jimmy.

[@amandeepdash9014]

@@spacemann1425 I don't think he knew anything about Mike being there. He didn't even know whom he was sending to kill. He would have no idea what it was about. He wanted her to flee or go to the cops, knowing that Lalo would kill him for it.

[@spacemann1425]

@@amandeepdash9014 I think he understood who Lalo was talking about when he said "black, with glasses, looks like a librarian". He had met Fring when he was patrolling for Mike. He knew about Fring pretty well.

[@murphsmurf87]

I think the revelation that she knew Lalo was alive and never told him is going to have an even bigger impact on their relationship.

[@blazewarTV]

Lalo's death feels to me like the most "what now?" Moment of the series.

[@babayaga3064]

Howard led a legal life, Lalo led a very illegal one but in the end both shared the same grave. Hits different...

[@ovoiknowu]

[@arizonashane]

It's tough to see that Mike's admiration for Kim may have diminished a bit after Howard's death.

[@deadchanneldontwatch7347]

a bit ?

[@futuremovieactor]

They made up a lie and set up Howard to derail his career and now that he got killed and they were traumatically forced to watch, they have to use that lie as the cover. Punishment fits the crime.

[@JerseyFTW54]

One thing I love is that Mike knows these two well enough to get through to them by using movie references ("You're Meryl Streep, you're Laurence Olivier")

[@krypticunlimited6925]

I just realized that had Howard finished his rant literally 1 minute earlier, he would have probably passed by Lalo in the hallway, and neither would have any idea who the other was or what they were there to do….

[@epicfan1598]

If howard also showed up an hour later he would have lived

[@maxpower2511]

The fact that this was not a wakeup call for Jimmy is mind blowing.

[@FreshZCORD]

Yeah that's what makes it worse for me. I can't really feel any sympathy for him feeling broken and depressed post breaking bad, knowing that despite any guilt he shows here, he is still going to be Saul Goodman eventually going about his life like nothing happened.

[@patricksowens5159]

Howard thought the same thing right?

[@BareBandSubscription]

If he didn’t learn his lesson after what happened to Chuck (or their father, for that matter), he’d never learn after Howard.

[@zejaguar]

I think Jimmy became less aggressive toward his competition.

The last time we see Mike in Better Call Saul, he's cleaning up an incriminating death for someone. The first time we see Mike in Breaking Bad, he's cleaning up another incriminating death for someone else but he slaps him.

[@davidkeown8477]

Mike hates the mop up after things don't play the way he wanted or hoped. It happened with Ziegler . It happens with Jesse in BB with Jane. He hates when procedure doesn't happen. His go to line is always.. here's how it's going to play out so when it doesn't he takes it as a personal sleight. He does care. He has compassion but he is still a hitman.

[@Simpvanas]

It is nice to see why Mike has little to no respect for Saul by the time we meet him in Breaking Bad. Saul is a paycheck and more money for Mike & Kaylee, nothing more. Howard wasn't in "the game" and that flies in the face of Mike's personal code. Great writing.
