Another great episode. It picks up the pace a little from the ultra slow burn of this season so far, but I also wouldn't say that it's an acting packed thrill ride. It follows two parallel plots; Jimmy dealing with the fallout from his gaffe in the last one, and Mike taking on a job for Nacho.
For the most part, the Jimmy scenes were the less entertaining part for me. However, there is one scene featuring Jimmy and Chuck towards the end that was just phenomenal. It's the most they've talked since that fateful scene in episode 9 of season 1, and things seem a bit more three-dimensional now that we've seen Chuck's lack of faith in Jimmy actually be kind of right. The acting a d dialogue of this scenes is incredible.
The episode's other plot focuses on Mike and Nacho. It also features more than one character from the early seasons of Breaking Bad. One of them is mentioned throughout the episode, so it isn't particularly surprising when they show up (although it still gives you a kick). But the other one was a complete surprise. This sequence also leads to some hilarious use of Mike.
So yeah, a pretty strong episode with some nice little surprises for Breaking Bad fans and a great scene pushing the envelope on this show's central conflict.
