Figuring out these episodes makes its own suspense. You might not be wrong, but always wonder about being right.
Unexpected twists are especially hairy in "Wexler v. Goodman": Saul betrays Kim; we expect she will walk away before she gets irreparably harmed (as she does with her drunken momma in the opening flashback); she has suspected all along that her boyfriend has an identity disorder, but instead of giving him tough love she ends up loving both personalities (Saul as much as Jimmy); and most unexpectedly, instead of doing what's reasonable and smart, she suggests they should get married. Saul appears to muck up Kim's life and career, but Kevin will probably take the deal he offers, and all will be good, man.
Meanwhile, Mike outs Lalo with virtuosic control and sneakiness. He anonymously leads the police around by their noses. They get their suspect in the wire-service murder (what ended season 4). Who will Lalo call with his legal problem?
Some loyal IMDB critics complain that viewers who gush about Better Call Saul (like me) should be more circumspect. I give every episode ten stars because this bizarre story has never made a misstep.
Eventually our unconventional, scrappy defense lawyer will tease Walter White about not having the immorality that would save money by putting a prison shiv into Badger. Taking out Jesse Pinkman is like "Old Yeller," remember? There's still a long road ahead. I can't wait travel it.
