Better Call Saul recap: 'Something Cute' brings a Breaking Bad reunion
Some long-awaited Breaking Bad characters announced in Gus' orbit, while Jimmy plots his newest scam.
Permit'south simply get this out of the way: the best thing about Better Call Saul is non, and has never been, its Breaking Bad callback moments. The tragicomic dramas of Jimmy McGill are damn skilful boob tube on their own, fifty-fifty without the dark-hatted specter of Walter White lurking on the horizon! Just with that said, a character from Breaking Bad makes an ballsy crossover appearance in this week'south episode (no, not that character, but still, a significant i) — and if you let out a petty squealing racket when you lot saw him, well, hey. Me too, buddy. Me too.
Simply we'll get to that in a minute. The start order of business in this episode is to clean up the mess from the terminal ane, which left Arturo dead and Nacho in deep, deep trouble with Gus Fring. To comprehend up the first murder, Gus' men phase a faux roadside ambush, making it look like Arturo was shot while transporting the Salamanca gang'southward drugs. (Sidenote: RIP Arturo, but RIP also to the gorgeous Chevelle that took approximately vii,000 bullets in the making of this scene. Barbarous!)
The twist: Arturo wouldn't take been making this trip lonely, which means that Nacho has to have a seat in the destroyed motorcar — and he has to take a bullet, too. He's shot in the shoulder, gets out wincing, and turns to Victor and Tyrus.
"Tin I make the call now?" he asks, but his last words are cutting off as Tyrus shoots him again — this time in the midsection.
"Gotta make it look real," Tyrus says, shrugging similar he doesn't care 1 mode or another if Nacho survives the wound.
By the time the twins find Nacho, he's in bad shape — and the doc on call (our old friend the veterinarian) isn't exactly pleased to be summoned by the Salamanca twins to rescue him. After performing surgery and a sniff test on the wound (to check for a perforated bowel! The more you know!), he leaves Nacho with a warning to never, ever contact him again… which is probably why he wasn't featured in the cast of Breaking Bad.
Merely hey, speaking of Breaking Bad! After reporting the "theft" of the drugs to Varga, Gus receives an club that should pique the involvement of whatever cocky-respecting fan: to find a supplier on this (the U.S.) side of the border. His next end is a lab, where he finds a helpful, loyal pharmacist with a souvenir for tricky lyrics that we've all seen before: ladies and gentlemen, it'south Gale Boetticher! (Singing Tom Lehrer's "Elements" song, because of form he is. Aw, Gale. We missed you, ya large nerd.) This Gale, however, is younger, disguised, and not all the same involved in Gus Fring's criminal enterprise except to test the purity of other people's meth — which, he points out, is far from quality and riddled with contaminants. (Like chili pulverization, perhaps? Eh???) But when he offers to cook the product himself, Gus declines.
"You lot were meant for better things," Gus says. Knowing what we know about how things finish for Gale, this line feels awfully distressing.
On a more cheerful note, there'due south besides a con afoot — and yet another familiar face up coming into play. When Mike declines to be part of Jimmy's Hummel heist, Jimmy reaches out to his criminal veterinarian friend for an alternative lock-picker, who turns out to be none other than Ira of Vamanos Pest. As Jimmy describes information technology, the heist is supposed to exist a straightforward affair: 10 minutes to go far, switch the fancy figurine for a cheap knockoff, and get out. But as with so many of Jimmy McGill'south best-laid plans, this 1 goes awry — in this case, when it turns out that i of the owners of the re-create shop is camping out in his part overnight. Ira dives under the desk every bit the man emerges from the bathroom and calls his wife, leading to the best laugh of the episode as we observe that he'southward in the doghouse for the most classic of marital blunders.
"You're saying I'g thoughtless, that I don't care," he moans. "Simply information technology is a very, very expensive vacuum!"
Yeah, that's right: photocopier guy is that jackass who bought his wife a vacuum cleaner and tried to pass it off as a present. (And frankly, sleeping in his office is no less than he deserves.) Trapped nether the desk, Ira has no selection but to wait until he's alone again and then phone Jimmy to come up help him — which he does, using some sort of magic carjacking technique to send Mr. Photocopier'south sedan rolling away, alert blaring, every bit he frantically chases after it. Hummel heist complete!
Information technology'due south a sweet niggling moment of levity — the only one in an episode that both begins and ends on a much darker notation. Because afterward a visit to Mesa Verde, where the sheer scope of the firm's upcoming expansion seems to leave her unnerved, Kim returns home and reveals to Jimmy what she'd been holding back: Chuck's letter. She offers to leave him alone while he reads it; instead, he reads it aloud while eating a bowl of cereal at the aforementioned time, chomping and smacking his manner through his brother's concluding words. Contrary to what Kim anticipated, the letter isn't hateful at all; conspicuously written earlier their most recent falling-out (and possibly earlier Jimmy got his law degree), information technology's understated but kind, with Chuck writing that he's proud of Jimmy and will always exist in his corner. Jimmy, still chewing, doesn't cry.
Merely Kim does, and can't stop.
"I demand a minute," she says, as Jimmy rises to follow her — and the hairline fracture in their relationship opens but a piddling wider. She doesn't want him to comfort her.
She closes the door in his face.
