I've watched this show over a dozen times at this point but this episode, and especially the final scene, never fails to make my heart race, toes clench, and breathing seem to cease. Nothing like it on TV with all the context and tension built up throughout most of the entire series around this moment.

RIP Howard :(
So sudden. The candle flicker gives me chills every time.
It's not clear what Lalo's plan is, but what gave him the idea is seeing "la cucaracha" in the sewer, what he called Jimmy when Kim visited him in jail.
While reading the script, Patrick Fabian (Howard) thought the writers had cancelled their plans to kill off Howard with how much screen time & dialogue he was getting.
Then he turned the page. At the top it said "Lalo enters" and the episode ended half a page later...
