Second best episode of the show so far if you ask me. And more than likely the funniest episode thus far too, that string of scenes of Jimmy meeting with crazy clients feels like something only Vince Gilligan could pull off without it feeling like filler.

It's nice to now care about what's happening with Chuck a little more, although I do think that having the entire potential issue of him being upset with Jimmy for pulling a con again seeming to have been resolved in a single conversation is a pretty big wasted opportunity.

And while I'm complaining, I did think some of the shots of Mike doing...whatever he was doing at the end of this episode were obnoxiously long and not really showing much worth showing.

But I am now interested in what they might do with Mike going forward, so it's nice they're not going to keep him stuffed in a box all season.

So while it doesn't quite reach the heights of the Tuco episode, it's still pretty bloody awesome.
