2025-08-30 03:11:00 +0000 UTCDid you recognise the Doctor at the free clinic as Gus' Doctor after the Cartel assassination in Breaking Bad? :D Again, we always seem to get returning characters in multiples. We saw Victor last episode, but did you see Tyrus standing behind Gus when he met with Mike? :O Both those guys were working with Gus before Mike! "The revenge" is a shortening of the slang term "montezuma's revenge" meaning traveller's diarrhoea, which would probably suit why Mike would be in this Mexican clinic. But since this is Gus' Doctor and part of the grand plan he has to take down Hector, calling it The revenge works as reference to that too and the Doc probably recognised that code. I think there may be a competition going on at the moment between Mike & Chandra for who has the best eyebrow raises🤣 You may have noticed that the truck in the intro was a Pollos Hermanos truck. The shoes were also weather-beaten & the stop sign bullet-ridden, meaning it was in the future. This means that in the future, Gus is the one who has taken over Hector's transportation route for the cartel. A sign of his eventual rise through the ranks and that he's not quite yet the top dog that he was in BB. Not only that but his system is so clean & efficient that his drivers didn't even need to stop to deposit weapons before the border. Bill Oakley is such a fun character. Really added some light to what would've otherwise been quiet a sombre episode. He was only scheduled to be in S1E2 for his "petty with a prior" montage but they loved him so much they've kept him around. There's a few characters like that in the universe. Poor Ernie. Had his good nature & loyalty to his friend manipulated and it cost him his career most likely :(

I do like that you guys are examining it in the discussions, though. I will say that I think the only time Chuck has been wrong about Jimmy on this show is how he expected him to break in. And he was only wrong then because he gave him too much credit that he'd do it in a smart way. 😆
