The story of Hector & Lalo on 'Better Call Saul & # 39; is sure to please fans of "Breaking Bad"

The penultimate episode of You better call Saul Season 4 gives spectators a lot to wait for the season finale. But it's a small moment to the beginning of "Wiedersehen" that may excite fans the most. The spoilers follow. Viewers finally learned The bell of Hector You better call Saul, and it turns out that Lalo is responsible for it. No wonder Saul was so scared of Lalo when he first met Walter White. But let's go back a bit. In breaking BadThe only form of audible communication of Hector Salamanca was his golden bell that he would strike with his right forefinger. The sound became synonymous with this drug dealer – and also the disappearance of him and his nemesis, Gus Fring. So, in case you have any doubt about the importance of Lalo in the story, he proves with this gift that he will be essential to move forward.

With Nacho at his side, Lalo goes to the assisted living center where his uncle Hector currently lives. (If you try to keep track of Salamanca's family tree, Lalo is probably a cousin of Tuco and "Cousins" Leonel and Marco.) Lalo tells of the time when Hector burned down the lorry. hotel of a "great university professor". who had been rude to him. Hector slowly murdered the owner of the Tulipan Hotel while his wife was listening to him, then burned all the property of the man. But not everything has been destroyed. Lalo says that he went back to the hotel after the fire because "I'm sentimental, I wanted a souvenir." He then presents to his uncle Hector his groom's bell.

Since Gus stopped his medical treatment after his stroke, Hector's main mobility is using his right index finger to tap. And the bell is the ideal solution – complemented by a diabolical and absurdly appropriate backdrop. Armed with this new form of communication, Lalo returns Nacho so that he and Hector can talk privately with Gus. Once their conversation is over, Lalo says cheerfully to Nacho: "Even old man, Hector, he just wants to kill everyone."

The bell of Hector is emblematic of breaking Bad Fans. He encapsulated the rage felt by Don Hector to be trapped in his body breaking Bad and You better call Saul confirmed that Gus was partially responsible for this loss of mobility. The bell is also what kills Gus. In season 4 finale of breaking BadWalt conspires with Hector and creates an explosive that will be triggered by the bell. Hector frantically rings the bell in a final act of revenge and unleashes the explosion, killing himself as well as Gus and Tyrus. After the breaking Bad Final broadcast, the bell was purchased by a fan for $ 26,750 at an accessories auction. As The Hollywood journalist noted, only the registered Strands of grass that Gale had given Walter had gone to get more money.

As for the rest of Lalo's actions in "Wiedersehen", he then takes Nacho to Los Pollos Hermanos. Unlike Hector in Season 3, Lalo is a bit more subtle when it comes to attracting Gus' attention to the restaurant. He pretends to be interested in a franchise opportunity and once alone in Gus' office, Lalo tries to make him turn against Don Eladio. But Gus is smart enough not to incriminate himself.

The two men play well with Lalo, saying that they should work together. But it's clearly the beginning of another great rivalry. Because even if Hector could not have explained to Lalo the details of how Gus had left him paralyzed, he would certainly have been able to communicate the depths of his hate. So, Gus knows that he's going to have trouble in Salamanca when Lalo tells him, "I'm going to be in town for a while." Lalo then asks Nacho to take him to the Gus Chicken Farm, which serves as a drug collection center. But Gus has the advantage because apparently without Lalo 's knowledge, Nacho really works for Gus.

In addition to the additional Lalo roadblock guarding his drug supply, Gus also suffers a setback at his super table. Chief Engineer Werner Ziegler cheats Mike and runs away from the refuge located at the end of "Wiedersehen". (Like any other Sound of music "Auf Wiedersehen" means "Goodbye".) Although Werner's betrayal is a blow to Mike, who trusts him, Gus is not going to be happy either and that should have a huge impact (totally pun expected) on the final of the season.

Then there is the fact that the bar has not reinstated Jimmy. Kim and Jimmy had rebounded after choosing the path of "Slippin & Kimmy", but Jimmy suffered this defeat in their first major fight. However, they apparently end the episode by proposing another plan to make Jimmy a lawyer again. So, although Hector receives the bell is not a huge plot topic in "Wiedersehen", it's an important reminder of storytelling You better call Saul did so well before the finale of season 4. Because the bell of Hector emphasizes the fact that objects and events so small and unpretentious can have truly explosive consequences in this universe.
