From Season 4, Episode 07: "Something Stupid"
He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

"No, I think he's about as recovered as he needs to be"

[@mmtthewkatz4410]

Gus concluded that Hector's recovery was up to los Pollos Hermanos standards.

One could argue that, had Saul not taken a pause to stare at Francesca’s in Breaking Bad, the opportunity to kidnap him might not have presented itself. As such, Walt and Jesse would’ve never had a partnership with Saul if it weren’t for that posterior.

That smile. Gus: _"You're still there Hector, aren't you? Good. I think this is as much rehabilitation as you need."_

Gus was satisfied with Hector's recovery, and he didn't expect another Salamanca to show up at his restaurant, who was more intelligent than the others.

[@SongokuJidai]

This is the moment Fring turned Recovering into just Ding.

[@pablogradiente]

I was literally thinking yesterday of this moment where he keeps Hector broken but I was too lazy to look for it. Nice timing!

[@jsphat81]

Why didn’t Lalo, being the most clear thinking and competent of the Salamancas step in immediately and oversee the health progress of his uncle? Why did the Salamancas just sit back and let Gus handle this unsupervised only because it seemed as an “act of peace”? Lalo could’ve made sure his uncle made a full recovery and fully compensate that doctor for her work.

[@ramblincapuchin9075]

When he caught wind of Gus's agency, that's when he knew things were serious. He likely wasn't as familiar with the facets of intensive care to truly appreciate Hector's condition OR my previous statement got him riled up to engage with Gus along these proceedings There is a lot of overhead involved with Lalo's presence, including matters of jurisdiction. If you remember that not even Bolsa knew of his intentions, leading me to believe that he didn't wait around for clearance. A misstep that could have mitigated the whole DeGuzman ploy Bolsa seems to have the tools to provide his insiders with certain privileges. Namely an alibi for this Mexican national- except that's not the way Salamancas tend to do things What does that look like from your perspective? Having Hector air lifted from a New Mexico hospital while under Gus's provisions?

[@thesatanicraven8815]

I think the Salamanca's just look at hospital's from a broad perspective, they sent hector to a hospital with the highest quality care, they don't think or consider that the specific doctors might be linked to Gus, especially when it just appears as though he is funding the doctors.

[@AllOfTheHallows]

The answer is: because Breaking Bad.

[@SoundxHunter]

Plot hole.

[@freespeech3817]

You seem to forget the "care" Tuco gave to Hector. Throught entire show it was made very clear Salamanca used term "blood for blood" and "family" as a way to get revenge and kill people. Not even one of them were shown to have any empathy or even caring for someoneelse in the slightest. Nacho and Gus decided to take down Salamancas for a reason.

[@EnycmaPie]

Gus found the Hector's level of recovery to be.....acceptable.

[@qwertek8413]

Doctor: great progress, he might be able to talk and walk again Gus: nah, he's good Doctor: wtf?

[@3hutp]

It's crazy that Gus is willing to fund the opening of a new hospital wing just to get this doctor to treat Hector. At any rate that's some serious charity work

[@mmtthewkatz4410]

I like that paella marina is Gus' go-to meal for visitors.

[@SoundxHunter]

Maybe it's the only things he can cook well.

[@mmtthewkatz4410]

@@SoundxHunter I guess it's either paella marina or he brings home a bucket of chicken from Los Pollos Hermanos.

Crazy how Hector could eventually start talking and walking but it was Gus who prevented all that. Everyone talks about Nacho putting Hector in a wheelchair, but that’s partially true. Gus was the one who let Hector in the wheelchair in the end.

[@Soulful_Sorrow]

Nacho took credit for it as a "Fuck you" to Gus. You know Gus was probably pissed that Nacho took credit for the biggest bit of torture to Hector before going out on his own terms.

[@ElStink4K]
