Yes

He set up the gun a few episodes ago

he got shot in the neck tho its not like it was a non fatal shot and he gave up and gus did some vengeance type speech then finished him off, feel like it still made sense but i also get where youre coming from to an extent

Spoiler dis this has to be for next wpisode

Reminder that this is a top 5 scene

Yeah these next few eps gonna be absolutely tragic

the FLY

even at breaking bad's most depressing moments, i dont think it even comes close to what we've seen and are going to see this season

Seeing Kim in the room with all of Gus's men was so surreal, like she really is in the game now, straight up in the mix. Shows the difference between how Gus operates and how the Salamancas do. She was safe with Gus's men and would be returned to where she needs to be, whereas Salamancas would've cut her head off or some s\*\*\*

Plus notice that Gus played it super similar to how he saw Nacho play it - he learned from watching that situation.

Nacho talked that s*** and controlled the speed of the situation by gassing up Hector and company, and in doing so created a window to do what he needed to do.

Gus saw how Hector reacted, knew the hubris of the Salamancas, and played the situation with Lalo to his advantage in the same way. Started talking that s*** for the camera, making Lalo feel like the big man on campus, then pulled the rug out from underneath him in the same way that Nacho did. Only difference was he had home court advantage.

There was a whole episode about the gun in the basement

Excellent point my friend

Gus probably realized its going to be this cat and mouse game with Lalo unless he solves it himself. He also showed in BB how he can handle himself in scenarios like this too. Remember how he took out basically all of Eladios crew? Hes killed people on this show too. hes a bad man

Oooh that's a really good point I didn't even notice that

Rhea been teasing that she was around in the BB timeline.

I still feel like Kim broke bad a while ago and she feels alive doing the type of s*** she’s into now. I think she was in shock after seeing someone she knew get murdered next to her, but if anything that might’ve cracked her even further.

Also, I have a feeling Gus/Mike worked a deal with Kim before they returned her to Jimmy that will play out further into the timeline.

the way u put it kinda makes me think its a possibility she will be around for bb timeline

in what ways has she teased that though?

The whole teaser for this episode showed us the lab as this final showdown place

Even had the lights go out and the spotlight on similar to the episode.

How would Gus/Mike hide that from Jimmy? I mean he would def be able to put 2 and 2 together. I don't think they would go another suicide route either

I forget the term she used but basically it was seeing certain scenes through someone else’s perspective. She said certain things we’ve seen in Breaking Bad will play out differently or have a different type of context.

Which makes me think Kim has scenes with Walt & Jesse

Rashomon effect

this might sound a bit far fetched but i was thinking maybe gus just does it without mike knowing because i doubt mike would be okay with that, there is tension between gus and mike now that u can see in the end of last episode with the things playing out differently scene. Kim saw a lot of faces and was very shooken up so i feel like gus has to do something. Whether that being killing her or maybe even taking her under his wing who knows. Either way it probably wont be anything we're expecting tbh.

i feel like if they have scenes with walt jesse and kim in the same room though it wouldnt make sense cus why wouldnt they show it in breaking bad, thered be no reason not to. Only way that could work is if shes just there and not introduced to them i think. But that def does point towards a possibility of kim being behind the scenes with jimmy in breaking bad for sure

Yo, were Mike & co. watching Walt & Jesse eat with Gus all this time
