Another episode to do in this season, and the pieces are set up for some explosive developments. The creative team does not want to let us breathe and wait for the inevitable. Kim actively, and Nacho passively, arrive at their own crisis points where they will have to declare themselves for a certain type of future. And unlike the cases of Jimmy, Mike and Gus, we have not seen and we do not know what this future must be.
Kim first. (Kim always, Kim forever.) She surely runs this trap on the planning chart of the city of Lubbock with practical ease and no apparent scruples. The ka-piece of the stamp of approval on each page of the plans exchanged, just before the list of credits, constitutes the culmination of the episode in pure pleasure. This scene is the reverse of the Coushatta study: which was far too expensive and takes too much time to make by the book (getting approval of a more eye-catching project for the Lubbock Mesa Verde branch, in the sense the one in Tucumkari, as Kevin wanted) can still be done by skirting these procedures with a light role play. But it is also Kim who applies the exact methodology of Coushatta in another way: if you want something, do the work of the legs. Take a trip by car, go straight to the weak point, put your weight forward and put some weight behind.
But she is not quite willing to see in this behavior two people other than an expedient for particular situations. "I think we should use our powers for good," she says. And what is good? "As Potter Stewart said, we'll know when we see him. Jimmy is doing it because he's about to get his license back! Another obstacle, an audience of more. He has his professional face, he charms them with his humility to work in a mobile phone store ("You do not have to sell as many phones to enter the Silver Circle, believe me"), he dazzles them with knowledge of Crawford c. Washingtonhe moves them with his story of passing the bar with a law degree by correspondence.
But then, it hurts everything when they ask him one last question: is he influenced by someone in particular? And until Kim Zero at that time, he did not even see what they were trying to make him say: "What does Chuck have to do with that?" It's just how completely he has put his brother out of his conscious mind, even if everything he does still comes out of his bitterness towards Chuck and aims to piss at Chuck's grave. The tragedy of James McGill lies in the fact that he has internalized the fatalism he attributes to others. Because he could not make Chuck see him differently than Slippin 'Jimmy, he thinks everyone else finally sees him in the same way, so why try to be something else? Even Kim, who loves him, is blinded by the leanness of his self-esteem. "You think I'm a kind of lowlife, a kind of lawyer hired by the culprits," he argues after she explained why her license was denied. "You look at me and you see Slippin 'Jimmy!" It's as if Oedipus was obsessed with the prophecy of the oracle instead of believing that he was escaping, every day believing that the courtesy and deference of the people of Thebes was a sham, and that behind doors, they were all waiting to murder dad and marry mom so that they could congratulate themselves for knowing all the time.
In the world of Gus, Eduardo ("Call me Lalo") goes to Los Pollos Hermanos to offer a business opportunity: form an alliance against Don Eladio. The boss plays the Salamancas and Fring against each other, leaving everyone's jealousy and ambition to keep them in line, but they could upset his control and place each other in a better position. position by teaming up. It's a game of power on the part of the Salamancas, of course, as we saw when Eduardo visited Hector and gave him his signature bell by evoking a hotel they had set on fire when his owner had crossed them. "I'm happy with the current arrangement," Fring hisses. This is also a statement of hostilities for Lalo, who throws his Los Pollos mug out the window as they come off the field to get to the Gus Henhouse / Drug Transfer Point. But Gus has a man inside, and next week he will probably call on Nacho to undermine Lalo – or worse.
What Gus does not know yet is that Mike's trust in Werner was misplaced. Checking a faulty connection during a demolition, Werner nearly collapses, shaking and hyperventilating out of sight of the team. Later, he begs Mike to give him the opportunity to return a few days to Germany to join his wife. it is the longest they have been separated in 26 years of marriage. "Finish the job," Mike tells him, and he will never be forced to leave. He promises Werner an extra phone call the next day and gives him a personal conversation: "Hang in there, my friend." His German-speaking supervisor listens to the call and hears nothing more disturbing than 39, a new puppy and a trip to Baden-Baden. But when Mike returns to the caravan during the night, his vague worries begin to subside: a dead pixel on a camera, a spike of tension that knocks another for a few seconds. And then, a look outside, on the manhole concealed by the truck of Tyrus during the demolition, confirms it to him. Werner escaped. Gus has a big problem to deal with, and that's Mike's responsibility.
We leave Mike and Kim facing situations they have not chosen, involving people they have known. A man who did something reckless, dangerous, breaking a relationship that Mike counted on; and a man who threatens to do something reckless, dangerous, because he thinks he has ruined a relationship he relied on. If I had to guess, I would bet on Mike to blame himself for letting a friendship grow and pushing the hammer down because of the betrayal. But it looks like Kim wants to find a way to bring Jimmy back on the basis of his desire to be a lawyer. It is there that they forged their alliance and, without this common point, their relationship is unrelated. What kind of lawyer can Jimmy be and how will that change the type of lawyer that Kim can be at his side?
The answers will be painful. But if the lark of Lubbock is an indication, we will have a great time between sobs.
Observations lost:
- At the Lubbock Town Planning Office, Jimmy plays Phil, a bull who wears a T-shirt with a Wrangler, who helps Aiden, eight months old, while "Elizabeth" is stuck by an injury rider. My favorite moment of their performance is the reprimanding tone of Shirley, the municipal employee, when Kim wobbles in front of them: "Go get the baby, Phil! L & # 39; s help! "
- Lalo is quite the greedy, preparing a plate of shrimp last week and rhapsodizing on Los Pollos chicken this week ("crisp, but not dried, and seasoning!").
- This look that Gus gives to Nacho, causing a shrug of shoulders tired, suggests that their alliance could go beyond fear and despair.
- I love the fact that Jimmy repeats, in all sincerity and wonderfully, that the mobile phone sector has given him "a new perspective of customer relationship". The big question for him as a lawyer has always been to know where he has grown his business. He clearly states that Kim believes he is a lawyer for the guilty, but he forgets, in the heat of the moment, that she herself is a lawyer for the guilty. Not like Jimmy Underworld's team, maybe, but she knows that people who have done wrong have the most need of a good defender.
- Jimmy would never give me back his license. I feel better knowing that it never happened to Kim either. She is preparing for the big moment by painting "AGAIN" with red nail polish on her "World's Best Lawyer" cup and packing a monogrammed case.
- After all that Kai has done wrong – including cheating on volleyball – it's Werner who puts the operation in jeopardy. It is not made for such dark affairs.
- Jimmy really understands that Kim no longer wants to share an office with him as Wexler-McGill. When he throws it in his face, taking it short and quivering as she realizes how much he has stammered these practical details, it's a very good portrait of the kind of person who never lets go of anything.
