Ya the reveal was done so well! The little pan over to the los pollos sign and then having Gus blurry like that behind Jimmy. Because if you'd never seen BB you'd never know who was back there but anyone who has seen it knows exactly who that blurry figure is. And I feel the exact same way about Gus! He's terrifying in a very different way. He definitely creeps me out but he's such a great character!
Watching Jimmy explode was so very sad. And to find out that yet again it was all a set up by Chuck is just... UGH. Amazing acting in that scene from both of them though.
And yes. Kim is amazing. ❤️😭
So I watched that steering wheel scene a few times while editing this trying to figure it out and realized he's looking at the car through the rear view window. So I think that's why it looked like the right side. Everything was flipped.

And the plot thickens....., for both Mike and Jimmy. It’s amazing to me that every week the show gets better and more intriguing with each new episode. I loved your reaction to how they introduced Gus into the plot. As soon as you saw the “Los Pollos” restaurant sign you knew that something special was about to happen. But instead of a big reveal, they slowly teased it out, with Gus blurred in the background and slowly being introduced to us. Brilliant writing, directing, and acting. I feel sorry for Mike having the tables turned on him but as we know, Gus is one heck of a mastermind and not someone to be trifled with, so it will be interesting to see how all this will play out. Of course, sending in Jimmy to do undercover work may not be the best plan, but it sure was hilarious. Gus is one of those characters who is scary in a different way than is usual. Unlike some of the characters who are vicious and crazy, Gus is scary in that quiet calm way, which creeps me out, but I do love his character. One of the best.
And poor Jimmy just keeps on digging his own grave deeper and deeper every episode. We know Jimmy is not a dumb guy, he has shown many times that he’s a lot smarter than he acts, but his emotions keep getting the better of him. As we saw, if he had only listened to Kim instead of rushing off to confront Chuck, he may have saved himself a whole world of trouble. Here she was logically explaining to Jimmy that the tape cannot really harm him, and that Chuck must be up to something else, but she just can’t figure it out. Of course, the plan all along was to get Jimmy all riled up so he would break into the house and destroy the tape in front of witnesses. Chuck played Jimmy to the max, petty little bitch that Chuck is. I can’t believe I hate him even more now than I did last week. I keep on pleading in my head for Jimmy to listen to this wonderful friend he has in Kim and heed her advice. Gosh, what I would give to have a friend like Kim in my life. She is the best. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope that he can work his way out of this mess he has gotten himself into. AND DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LISTEN TO KIM FROM NOW ON JIMMY!!!!!
Great reactions Kelsea and can’t wait to see how all this plays out next week. Have a great weekend.
PS: I said the same thing to myself about the steering wheel being on the wrong side of the vehicle that the guy was driving. Still haven’t figured that one out yet, because it was on the right side in the next scene. One more mystery to be solved.
