Ah yes you're right! Definitely answered my question from a few episodes ago! And ya that part where Mike is crying and upset about not living up to his son's expectations broke my heart. Gosh the actor did such a good job! Such a good episode I could watch this one over and over.

As always Kelsea, great episode and wonderful reactions. For those of us, and I would guess there are many out there who love Mike, this was such a fantastic episode. Getting his back story and the tragedy of losing his son told us a lot about what kind of man he is and the lengths he would go to avenge the murder of his son. It was so sad to see Mike carry the burden of not living up to his sons expectations and to the heartbreak that it eventually led to. I most commend you on figuring out what Mike was up to. I knew something was up also, but you hit the nail on the head guessing that it was all a ruse. Good work Kelsea.
This episode also answered a question you were pondering a few episodes ago about Mikes attitude to the two cops that had Nacho under arrest. You can understand now why Mike has no love for the police after what happened to his son.
Glad we got some answers in this episode, but of course there are still so much more to explore and am looking forward to the upcoming shows and your reactions. Have a fantastic weekend and hope all is well with you.

Hey Kelsea. IMHO this might be the best episode in the series. Mike is a great character, forever intuitive, street smart and rock solid, but when conflicted, he can be compassionate. There is depth to his persona. Just don't try shortchanging him on tickets. LOL.
I loved the acting. Jonathan Banks is top tier and Kerry Condon, (Stacy Ehrmantraut) was equally enthralling.
Excellent episode, and as you say, it ties BB and BCS together through Mike's journey. There are scams and slight of hands a-plenty, so be on your toes. Cheers.
BTW, I just finished watching your Kasey vid on YT. Very good and thank you for the shoutout. You are way too generous. π₯°
