This was an absolutely stellar episode. I was expecting the story lines established by the previous episode to stretch through the season, but a few of them conclude right here. It really feels more like the second part to a double length episode started by the last one. But this episode had a lot more comedy and some higher stakes drama.
We start out with Chuck, playing the piano. He was noticeably absent from the last episode. Michael McKean is great in this role. There was palpable tension every time that he and Jimmy were in a room together in this episode. Jimmy starts getting the perks from his new job. Mike deals with a moronic client, resulting in some very funny scenes and some very tense scenes. The episode ends with a hilarious scene followed by a dramatic scene. Both of these were among the shows' best, bringing big laughs then realistic drama.
Great episode of Better Call Saul; perfectly balances comedic and dramatic tone to bring a show that is just as similar to Mad Men as it is to Breaking Bad, with as much humour as the two combined.
