It goes without saying that there are spoilers in this review, so don't end up looking like one of Slippin' Jimmy's marks.###This week's episode – written and directed by Saul co-creator Peter Gould – is called Nailed, and the title couldn't be more apt in/with regard to’concerning’regarding both the major storylines.###We start in the desert with a literal interpretation, where Mike has been laying a trap in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the ice cream truck used by Hector Salamanca and his minions to transport drugs and cash. The home-made stinger Mike was working on last week sends the truck screeching off the road in the middle of nowhere. Soon, Mike has the propel r trussed up and is slicing into the tyres, finding a hefty haul of cash that was making its way south of the border. Soon abundant’ample’plentiful , the merely’barely place it's heading is the boot of Mike's car.###After the credits, we're at Chuck's house, where the older McGill is dressing to go outside. Howard's in the living room ready to propel him to a hearing to approve Mesa Verde's merger, and is convinced he can handle it himself – after all, this might too much electromagnetic exposure in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his work partner. But Chuck is insistent, and even fearless’bold courageous s the metal detector at the establish ing where he and Howard, joined by Kevin and Paige of Mesa Verde, are meeting the State Banking Board. But bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e that, we see Jimmy watching them leave Chuck's house, and sneaking in to replace the documents he doctored with the originals.###As expected, the approval hearing appears to go well until the address discrepancy Jimmy inserted into the filing documents is discovered. Soon, things are erupting in confusion and the mood is tense between Chuck his clients. It's exacerbated by the fact that the hearing board can't reconvene in/with regard to’concerning’regarding six weeks. And Chuck starts to suffer from the lights; this episode features another great representation of how all the crackling electricity around affects him.###Back at his house, Chuck is furious even as Howard tries to mollify him. But Chuck is convinced there was now mistake. He knows who is to blame…###Talking of rage, Mike is once again planted across from the ice cream parlour, quietly drinking in the sight of Hector "Tio" Salamanca tearing a strip off his henchmen in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the loss of the truck's cargo. Later, at a bar, Mike slips one of the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous bills he stole from the truck, and buys a round in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the house. Three cheers in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Mike!###At Kim and Jimmy's office – or at least the establish ing that will become their space – they're busy removing the dentists' chairs and redecorating. They're painting the place themselves because they don't possess’own’nurse the budacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to hire anyone. Kim acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s a call: it's Paige, asking her to take over Mesa's business! Jimmy is thrilled in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her, but Kim is a combination of apprehensive and suspicious. Still, she starts trying to figure out how to handle the new client, and is still doing so when Ernesto calls and says that Chuck is ready to hand over all the documents.###So Jimmy and Kim reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue up at Chuck's place in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the handover and we're treated to another grandstanding Chuck moment. His anger fuels him, and he accuses his younger brother (accurately) of tampering with the documents. Chuck's monologue is a great one in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Michael McKean, channeling years of rage over Jimmy's methods, even bringing up his brisk business in fake IDs at high school. But Kim wants evidence of this current crime, and doesn't buy Chuck's accusation… Or at least doesn't appear to. When they're alone in the car outside, Kim seems to be trembling with her own barely-controlled anger, and when Jimmy asks what's wrong, she just punches him on the arm several times and tells him to propel . Uh. Oh…###Still, this latest cause in/with regard to’concerning’regarding concern isn't weighing on Jimmy, who is once more filming shots in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his new commercial. He and the usual cohorts (plus a make-up artist) sneak into a school to grab a shot of him looking heroic with a flag. Confronted by the authorities, he blabs his way around the problem by explaining – lying – that Pina Colada songwriter Rupert Holmes went to school there and his little filmmaking band is at work on a documentary. And yes, trivia fans, Rupert Holmes was born in England, and while he did move to America at the age of six, he lived in a New York City suburb.###We check in with Mike as he grabs breakfast at a diner and mildly flirts with the waitress. But then Nacho calls and asks to meet. At the usual abandoned warehouse, Nacho confronts him with regards to’concerning’with respect to the truck, puzzled as to why he did it, but telling him he's not there to take him down. Hector Salamanca might possess’own’nurse in/with regard to’concerning’regarding gotten with regards to’concerning’with respect to Mike, but Mike didn't in/with regard to’concerning’regarding acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure with regards to’concerning’with respect to him, but he does say it's over. And there's the usual display of cold Ehrmantraut steel when Nacho seems to be reaching in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his gun. Yet after Nacho tells him that Hector killed the rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent samaritan who came upon and then helped the propel r, you can see the weight of that consequence in Mike's eyes as he prepares to propel away.###Jimmy and Kim are in bed at the end what has been a long day, but while they seem to be okay, she's still a little distant, ploughing through Mesa files. As Jimmy tries to sleep, she mentions that Chuck will be quite the adversary and that her boyfriend had better possess’own’nurse checked all the angles on his latest scheme. Which sends Jimmy to the all-night copy shop, where he spots Ernesto interviewing Lance, who helped Jimmy with the materials in/with regard to’concerning’regarding in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ge the Mesa documents. Smartly figuring that Ernesto will return with Chuck, he bribes Lance and then retreats to watch him lie to Chuck.###A frustrated Chuck is having no joy with Lance, and it's eliminate’remove that he's really starting to suffer standing in the copy shop, which with its humming machines and bright fluorescence, is fundamental ally Chuck's Kryptonite. And as he becomes angrier with regards to’concerning’with respect to Lance's recalcitrance, he starts to collapse… But as he goes down, he strikes his head on the counter. Even Jimmy, watching from across the street, flinches at the sound it makes. This will not end well in/with regard to’concerning’regarding anyone.###Holy crack. And no, that's not a typo. Nor does it refer to drugs. It's the shocking moment from the end of this week's episode, another refutation of the idea that reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s such as Saul, which take their time slow-cooking their plots, characters and themes, are no less entertaining than something that makes explosions fun. As Gould and co. tighten the screws on the various plot lines, pushing the ever-present Jimmy/Chuck rivalry to the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding efront pays dividends. The team always acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent results when they let Michael McKean rant, and throwing in Chuck in/with regard to’concerning’regarding ced to fearless’bold courageous the fizzing electronic world, claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate ing his fury at Jimmy will carry him through, is a fantastic scene. Admittedly, it's a little convenient that Jimmy happens to reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue up at the copy shop just as Ernesto is talking to Lance, but we'll let that slide when the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue is reaching peak conflict.###Rhea Seehorn also acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s a few wonderful moments as Kim, especially her twin reactions to Chuck's accusation.###Bob Odenkirk also acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s to go full Slippin' Jimmy in the scene at the schoolyard – it's not eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully TV series that has its antihero sing a chunk of the Pina Colada song as he's trying to con two school officials into letting him shoot in their playground. Another favourite moment? Jimmy describing the final (as yet unseen) commercial as "the greatest 60 seconds on television".###In Mike's world, the truck heist goes smoothly, but the fallout looks sure to come back to bite him. Still, it's great drama and when you possess’own’nurse someone like Jonathan Banks, who can play eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullything from happiness to sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious anger across his face, it's easy to appreciate. Next week is the season finale, so we're expecting enormous’vast’massive’tremendous things.
