Also, I can't get over how Howard's head hit the table counter exactly like Chuck's did back when he fainted at the photocopying place. Both men "fall" after having the worst day of their professional lives (manufactured by Jimmy). Can't get over this episode!
@reveriecode >When Lalo looked at the cockroach, I instantly knew he'd look for Jimmy
You nailed that part.

Absolutely incredible, one of the most heartbreaking moments in the Breaking Bad universe. Never in a million years I'd have expected something like this - always thought Howard was the safest character.
Nacho's death was sort of easy to process since there was so much vindication and control about it, but this was the polar opposite - Howard gets ridiculed, only to then get offed basically for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When Lalo looked at the cockroach, I instantly knew he'd look for Jimmy, just never expected it being so soon. Visual storytelling at its finest.
With this episode, I realized I also changed my perspective on Saul's future as Gene - where I used to feel sort of sorry for him after seeing how he thrives in his heyday, it more and more seems like where things were headed all along. Best character development on TV as always, and masterful storytellers all around.
