This week on BetterCallSaul, a traumatized Jimmy returns home from the desert, while Kim makes a big move. Alan Sepinwall’s recap
Jimmy and Kim have separately met with Lalo at the jail in past episodes , but when he enters their home, armed with a gun and a smile, any distinction between the cartel and civilian aspects of the show has ceased to exist. Earlier in the episode, Kim quits Schweikart and Cokely, and Mesa Verde, because banking law now bores her; in the process, it feels as if the series has left behind nearly all interest in non-criminal life.
Mike assures Jimmy that he will move past this trauma in time, and with Lalo heading toward a permanent end, it seems to Jimmy for a moment that he has a chance to return his world to something resembling normal. But some combination of fate, Kim, and Lalo have other plans for him. Like Mike says, once you go down the road, you’re on that road, no matter how hard you try to turn off it.
They don’t get to take that argument to its conclusion, though, because suddenly Mike is making a frantic call to Jimmy, and Lalo is standing in their doorway, as unnervingly relaxed and chipper as usual. They have no choice but to let him in, and as he crosses the threshold, Kim unequivocally passes over into the world that’s home to Mike, Gus, the Cousins, and, eventually, Heisenberg.
“If you don’t trust your men with your money,” she tells him, summing up the simple but firm closing argument, “you have bigger problems than if you trust Saul Goodman.” Then she advises him, “Jesus, get your shit together!” Whether or not Lalo believes Jimmy, Kim successfully refocuses his anger towards a target south of the border. He leaves, allowing her, Jimmy, and Mike to exhale, even though none are particularly at ease with what just happened — and what almost happened next.
