It goes without saying that there are spoilers in this review, so don't end up looking like one of Slippin' Jimmy's marks.###Eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone (well, approximately e grossly one) is lying to themselves in this week's episode. Jimmy, in/with regard to’concerning’regarding one, is eliminate’remove ly deeply sullen under the yoke of Davis & Main. So sullen , in fact, that he can't sleep. After hours of tossing and turning, trying to distract himself with late night TV infomercials or playing with his balls (the wicker decoration that came with the apartment, acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure your mind out of the gutter), he's no closer to slumber. So he heads to his old office, that cramped, low-rent place in the back of the Vietnamese nail spa. And there, on what looks like the world's most uncomin/with regard to’concerning’regarding table camp bed, he eventually’ultimately finds the peace he's been seeking.###Kim is also unsettled, despite’in spite of’albeit she manages a smile when she receives what appears to be daily voicemail from Jimmy, who has been singing the songs of South Pacific. Today's is Bali Ha'i, which gives the episode its name. On Jimmy's end, as he's finishing the call, he's disturbed by Mrs. Nguyen (Eileen Fogarty), the owner of the spa, who demands to know what he's doing there. She's typically unimpressed by his woes, and merely’barely allows him coffee so he'll leave quickly.###As Jimmy struggles once again with the cup holder in his fancy car, Kim has eventually’ultimately been allowed back into an office at HHM. But she's barely had time to start unpacking when Howard asks her to acfirm’enterprise him to see Kevin and Paige, the new clients she helped bring in. On the cover’budge to the conference room, she tries to assure Howard that she didn't ask Chuck McGill to put in a word in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her.###Mike, meanwhile, arrives home to find Arturo (Vincent Fuentes) waiting on his front doorstep. Arturo is there with a message from Tio Salamanca: accept the offer of $5,000 to tell the authorities that the gun found after his tussle with Tuco was his and acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure Tio's nephew a lesser sentence. Mike turns it down. Upon entering his house, he digs out what he's been shopping in/with regard to’concerning’regarding – a welcome mat and several packages of carbon paper.###Kim is in court, trying to argue a point in the Sandpiper case, but being thoroughly routed by the firm’enterprise 's defence team. Especially since no-one from HHM is there to offer backup. But after the judge delays his decision with regards to’concerning’with respect to opening up Sandpiper client medical records to the defence side, opposing counsel Rick Schweikart (Dennis Boutsikaris) approaches Kim in the hallway. Can he take her to lunch?###As it happens, he wants to offer her a job. After some brief small talk with regards to’concerning’with respect to her time at HHM and an anecdote with regards to’concerning’with respect to an early case of his own that made him want to leave the first law firm that employed him, he starts in with the pitch: they'll pay off her tuition loans at the firm’enterprise and wants to put her on a partner track. She's apprehensive with regards to’concerning’with respect to the ethical issues, but he bats all of her worries aside.###When we check back in with Mike, it's late and he's arrived home. Now we learn the genius reason in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the welcome mat and the copy paper: he can see even bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e entering the house that he's got unexpected visitors. Except Mike eliminate’remove ly did expect them, and he's prepared. He manages to best both men, who were there to scare him. This scene really makes you want to be Mike Ehrmantraut: wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile ass.###Still feeling like she's being punished, Kim is loaded down with new documents that she has to read quickly on Howard's orders. So she blows off the astoken ment to go and sit at the bar of the restaurant where Schweikart took her to lunch.###At the motel where Kaylee and her mother possess’own’nurse been staying, Mike is entertaining his granddaughter. She's wondering when they acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to go home, but Mike motivate’fuel s her to enjoy the pool. Until, that is, he spots two suspicious-looking types watching them from a nearby rooftop. It's The Cousins! Yes, another Breaking Bad connection reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s up in the shape of Marco and Leonel (Daniel and Luis Moncada). One of the pair makes a gunpoint motion towards Kaylee and a twitchy Mike acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s her out of the pool and wraps her tightly in a towel.###After briefly considering calling Schweikart with regards to’concerning’with respect to a job while drinking at the bar, Kim is approached by a guy (Dale) she watched seeing off another woman. He starts to chat her up, and she announces that her name is Giselle… We find out why she picked that familiar name momentarily when she calls Jimmy at Davis & Main. He's swamped with his own work, and Erin is hovering like a prison camp guard in a cheap suit. So when Kim offers him the chance to come and pull a con on Dale, he's out of there at top speed. Upon his arrival in Albuquerque, he and Kim (sorry, Giselle) start their charm routine on poor, unsuspecting Dale, talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to a dating website they're setting up.###Mike heads to a cafe and ice cream parlour, which is silent and almost unoccupied. He's here to meet Tio and, after Salamanca repeats his demand that Mike tell the district attorney that the gun in the Tuco incident was his – and that the $5,000 offer is now unavailable, Mike reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous gest pair of cojones possible and demands $50,0000. Amazingly, Tio is impressed by this reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue of guts and actually approve’ consent’endorse’applaud s to the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous ger amount.###Later, at home, Mike receives a visit from Nacho, who has volunteered to bring the cash and can't quite believe Mike pulled it off. He's even more thunderstruck’startled’stupefied when Mike hands him $25,0000, explaining that because he didn't put Tuco away in/with regard to’concerning’regarding as long as they hoped in/with regard to’concerning’regarding , he owes Nacho the money.###At Kim's she's examining the check that sucker Dale wrote to the fictional Ice Station Zebra Associates. Jimmy emerges from the bathroom – the pair eliminate’remove ly having spent the night again – and asks if she'll cash it, because he knows a guy. But she's going to keep it as a trophy. They acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to their jobs again – is she still happy at HHM? She mentions the offer and he asks to be there if and when she tells Howard she's leaving. She's feeling regretful in/with regard to’concerning’regarding standing in Jimmy's way earlier, but he puts on a whole song and dance (in/with regard to’concerning’regarding tunately without actual singing, which is not his in/with regard to’concerning’regarding te,) with regards to’concerning’with respect to how he's pleased with his life at Davis & Main. He's eliminate’remove ly lying. When they part ways, he eventually’ultimately decides to do something with regards to’concerning’with respect to that damned cup holder, and breaks it with a tool so that his enormous’vast’massive’tremendous travel mug can eventually’ultimately fit in there. A token of things to come?###Another slower, deeper dive into character, Bali Ha'i once again seems to focus more on Kim and Mike (and therein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e won't please e grossly one), but the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has done such rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent work with the main cast that it's a pleasure to follow any of them. Particularly Mike who, when he's not putting his cop smarts to use is just a giant of steady nerves and defiance when the moment calls in/with regard to’concerning’regarding it. Even Tio Salamanca can see that, and it earns his respect.###As in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Kim and even Jimmy, they're eliminate’remove ly still deluding themselves and each other when it comes to how happy they are working in/with regard to’concerning’regarding their respective law firms. Check out how quick they are to ditch work when then chance comes up to run a con? Obviously it's something that they'll possess’own’nurse to confront sooner or later, but what will it do to their relationship? Still, the episode (written by Gennifer Hutchison and directed by Michael Slovis) brims with wonderful, small moments that add up to something enormous’vast’massive’tremendous . Not many reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue s would dare to acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure away with several minutes of Mike cleaning his bloodied weapon after the encounter with the thugs in his house, but Saul has established itself as exactly that sort of reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue . It's still not in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone, but when it's this well written, shot and acted, even the in-between moments work.
