> [@blondebear](#): > > Hmmm…I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention when her boyfriend was taking off for the evening. I thought maybe he was heading off to run an errand or something. As he was leaving he asked her if she wanted to go to the new Outback Steakhouse next Friday. She said Sure, and as he drove off he said “It’s a date!” Then they showed her brushing her teeth, (with an electric toothbrush - she even changed that part of her life) then sleeping in bed by herself. ---

And last week we saw that Saul is Walt and Jesse’s downfall as well–he basically made them into the kingpins they became by spreading word of their expertise to the cartel world. Mutually assured destruction, and it played out just like that. And I’m sorry but I’m not listening to any carping about how much Walt and Jesse and the rest have aged since I had to overlook Todd basically doubling in size from a skinny whippy kid working on the train heist to a bloated farmer looking mofo in “El Camino,” which took place mere months in story time from BB. After that suspension of disbelief nothing will ever compare. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > The next episode is called Saul Gone. A lot of ways that could go. … Indeed. “ **It’s all gone** ” signals a pretty bleak choice by the show-creators, though. > [@iamatractorboy](#): > > I thought Jimmy was very stupid not putting the watches etc back once he saw Jeff crash the taxi. He could’ve just left them somewhere downstairs rather than risk going upstairs again, for all he knew, the vic would assume he’d smashed the glass himself in his drunken stupor and then got his watches out for some reason. You’re right that the victim could have told himself that, though absence of cuts on his hand might make that less likely. I assumed that Jimmy took the watches–and also the dog-ashes-urn, I believe–to lend credibility to a conclusion (by cops and victim alike) that someone had broken in to commit a standard robbery. We don’t see the urn in Jimmy’s place, so possibly he threw it down outside the house, to simulate the anger of (perhaps) kids who’d realized it wasn’t a valuable objet d’art at all and so discarded it. Above all, Jimmy doesn’t want the victim to suspect that the real purpose of the break-in was identity theft. He’d much rather the assumption be that the ‘stuff’ was the target. ---

Yes. That’s exactly what it was. Now it will propagate and the community will know the truth about Howard ---

I don’t have too much to add - it was another great episode. I’m looking forward to the finale and I’ll be sad when it’s over. Any predictions for the finale? It seems like Gene will try to get vacuumed again, but I’m imagining it won’t work. If the cops are on to him now, and Kim has confessed, maybe they both end up arrested back in Albuquerque. ---

Saul dies, Kim is with him, sobbing, she gets arrested, fade to black. ---

Gene is on a very tight timeline now. Unless he has a go bag in his car, he will need to return to his house to get anything of value to help his escape. And any report of Saul Goodman to the police is going to quickly bring the FBI as well. I would guess 45 minutes before someone is at his house. ---

After that suspension of disbelief nothing will ever compare. This is a good point; but my main gripe with Jesse returning is that his entire manner is that of a very confident middle-aged man. At least chubby Todd came across as a believable continuation of the BB character. But I’ll stop there, as I love 99% of BCS. ---

Marion having to plug in the phone cord to her computer to get online made me laugh. And then the very next shot as Gene screws up the lyrics to The Tide Is High and his slightly chagrined response I laughed again. It was a weird moment considering we all knew he was walking into the buzzsaw. ---

Yes, as stated, the FBI will be sending a motorcade towards that house. Perhaps Carol is on the phone passing on his address if she knows it. So can Saul get home, and out before the FBI make it? I guess Carol knows his name, so its not hard to find his home address if she’s on the phone. Perhaps Saul has a backup tincan by a gas station for going on the run. Will need a new car though, unless he’s managed to bypass registration on that one. Full of petrol too, the roadblocks will be up soon, the airports and bus/train stations loaded with cops. It’s looking bleak for Saul to escape now. ---

One of the cops sitting behind Jeff makes the same joke to his partner about the foolishness of ordering a fish taco in Albuquerque that Hank makes to Marie in BB when she orders sushi. I’m wondering if that’s a cop joke or an Albuquerque joke. Or maybe the cop is just a really big Breaking Bad fan. ---

At one point in Florida, I was thinking “Are they speaking in Minnesota accents?” It seemed very Fargo, even more so than when I was watching a documentary based in Minnesota (The Ringmaster). I was almost waiting for one to say You Betcha, Fella. ---

> [@Stanislaus](#): > > A prediction ahead of tomorrow’s episode: > > After a certain amount of tense shenanigans, Gene will come out on top and celebrate doing so by slipping into a sharp suit as the monochrome fades up into colour. Saul triumphant, as he returns to who he really is.[/quote] > Hahahaha nope. > > [quote]Hopefully, after that, he gets his comeuppance, ideally at the hands of Jeffy’s mum. This was really good. Her sheer bravery and moral rectitude in the face of this sleazy man who was clearly considering killing her was quite something - in her first appearance, we saw her fierce independence and that came good when she had to stand up for herself. Magnificent. > [@SmartAleq](#): > > Oh, and Jimmy/Gene pushing the envelope here, daring the world to come get him, basically the same as Chuck nudging the lamp over and over and over. Not enough momentum to actually commit suicide or force the issue to an arrest but pushing. Pushing, pushing, pushing. Really, really good point. He’s been waiting and waiting as boring Gene with his empty life until he could slither out from under the rock and claim his money. That’s all gone. He wanted to reconnect with Kim. She wouldn’t have it. He can’t go back to being boring Gene so whether he realises it or not he’d rather expose himself and go on the run. I remember a poster on here ages ago talking about their past problems with gambling addiction. Specifically, the time they went to the bank, withdrew their month’s rent to take to the landlord and en route stepped into a bookies and dropped the whole lot on a dog at 3-1. The dog one, he went and paid the rent and had a pile of cash to boot. But that wasn’t the fun bit. The fun bit was during the race, when there was a real possibility he and all his possessions would be on the street that night. The uncertainty, which would sicken most of us, was thrilling. Jimmy lives for the thrill. He can’t or won’t suppress that. He couldn’t leave Walt alone, and he couldn’t sit still as Gene. Kim, on the other hand… not redemption, but confession and atonement and probably penance. After the bottled-up life we’d seen, her breakdown was an incredible moment of catharsis. Interesting that it took a phone confrontation with Jimmy to make her see what she had to do. ---

Roadblocks? I don’t think the FBI has the power to set up roadblocks on major highways to catch a single fugitive criminal.
