Season 5 wraps up with a bang as Kim gives the finger guns and completes her transformation into Slippin’ Kimmy… set on staying with Jimmy and ruining Howard’s life. Speaking of ruined lives, uh oh Nacho! And Lalo’s not doing great either.

The cash is in the bag, and the bag is in the courthouse. Lalo walks free and Jimmy gives him a made-up story about what happened in the desert. But the desert follows Jimmy home as he struggles to process the carnage he saw, and Lalo outsmarts Gus’s entire operation before making it Jimmy and Kim’s problem. The uninterrupted 16 minute final scene is one of the tensest stretches of this show, so come listen to us gush about it.

With a little help from Mike, Jimmy has managed to do the impossible: get bail release for Lalo “Jorge de Guzman” Salamanca after the grisly murder of Fred Whalen. One hitch in the plan is that the $7 million dollars in cash needs a ride, and that results in some… complications. Does this pseudo-bottle episode keep working after its spectacle wears off?

This episode is a very strong argument for having initials that can’t be twisted around to make a motto that will haunt you for the rest of your days. The Jimmy and cartel plot lines collide as Lalo enlists him to arrange for bond, so he can escape being imprisoned for the murder of Fred Whalen. The problem is? He has to pick up the money.

This standout episode of season five sees the culmination of Jimmy and Kim’s plot against Kevin Wachtell… even if Kim tried to pull the plug at the last minute. This leads to a blow up with a very unpredictable outcome that gives us a lot to chew on.

Mike did a whoopsie and nearly got himself killed, so Gus kidnapped him to Mexico to heal him or make a very important point. Meanwhile, Kim and Jimmy start putting together a plan to save Mr. Acker's land.

When Howard sweeps in to give Jimmy the job offer he's waited more than a decade for, Jimmy has a... paradoxical reaction. Meanwhile Kim, Kim enlists his help with the Acker situation, and Gus sacrifices a lot of money to get the DEA off his back. Also, we argue over whether or not Mike was trying to commit suicide by dude.

Someone call Powerman 5000 because we’ve found out what it’s like when worlds collide. Following a cartoonish affair last episode, Jimmy’s plot and the cartel plot run straight into each other as Lalo reaches out to Jimmy to help clean up the mess with Krazy-8’s arrest.

What harm could deep deep discounts cause? There’s no way they could set off a chain reaction that leads directly or indirectly to the creation of a Heisenberg, right?

Season five begins with the (legal) creation of Saul Goodman, an alter ego Jimmy creates for his new law practice that lets him finally step out of his brother’s shadow. But Kim isn’t very happy with this, or Jimmy’s more brazen scheming. Meanwhile, Gus and Mike deal with the aftermath of Werner Ziegler’s escape, and Lalo’s new suspicion about their plans.
