just released on netflix and amc and we
get an incredibly climactic one yet also
a big tease in the mid-season finale

surrounding lalo things just got
extremely scary for the second part of
season six in this spoiler review i'm

which is all linked in the description
below but without further ado let's dive
into my recap and review for better
course or season six episode seven
so in the better call sauce season six
mid-season finale we finally get to the
dark plan of kim and jimmy where they
aim to put the last now in howard's
reputation and career it's a tale of two
men who both have similar thoughts
towards their enemies but one ultimately
receives a more brutal outcome this
comes with both howard and lalo's
reaction to plans that have gone against
them and you could say it's also a
reflection of both the breaking bad and
the better course all world of course
breaking bad would show us the full
extent of numerous deaths throughout its
history while better course all has a
more reserved legal drama format as the
more defined focus but now this is the
moment where we are fully propelled back
into that breaking bad world and we see
the consequences of the actions that
take place better call saul makes a
character death all the more significant
with that of howard hamlin in episode 7
being quite the brutal and devastating
one to see unfold after episode 6 we all
had predictions on what would happen and
while we mostly had those that came
partially true the way they took place
was something that vince gilligan and
peter gould have delivered in such an
unpredictable way and thomas schnauz has
to be given the main shout out for once
again directing a stunner of an episode
in this show in episode 7 it turned out
that jimmy and kim's plan was to make
howard go crazy during his important
sandpiper case meeting of course judge
casemiro had a broken arm and it was a
problem that they had to quickly deal
with as we see with jimmy grouping up
his filming team and the actor rushing
around to quickly reshoot the photos
before releasing the chemical that we
learned about in the previous episode
they re-shot the sketchy photos of jimmy
handing the fake casemiro a bribe then
with not much time left they had to give
these to howard's pi janidowski who yes
turned out to be a fake pi so during the
meeting with a reintroduced irene also
present in the room we get howard
reacting to the photos that his fake pi
showed him and making a claim that the
real casemiro who also entered the room
was in on a bribe with jimmy he firmly
asks for his assistant to get the photos
from his office as proof to show the
rest at the meeting but jimmy and kim
are listening in and so far the plan is
working the chemical really takes its
toll on howard with him sweating and
hyperventilating in front of everyone as
it turns out that the fake pi has even
replaced the photos of casemiro that he
asked to be fetched with them this time
including a random student filling the
part of casemiro in the photos instead
after he realizes he's been conned
howard desperately explains to clifford
maine afterwards that the office got a
phone call that they'd need to switch
their security and his guess is that hhm
fell for the con that involved jimmy and
the fake pi so as a whole howard is made
to look a fool in front of everyone
becoming a conspiracy theorist and it
leads to the sandpiper case being
settled jimmy has won howard has lost
but what do the consequences of this all
mean well i will get to that right after
we discuss the other plot thread of this
episode in lalo salamanca like i was
getting to before lalo is actually quite
the dark reflection of howard in this
week's episode they've spent their
recent time believing that their enemy
has a plan to destroy them and while
both are right it's their distinct world
and reactions to them that are totally
the opposite lalo wants the proof that
gus fring is working against the cartel
and this has set him on a path across
borders and even countries to get it now
he finds himself in sewers a distorted
take on what we saw with gus and his
hidden tunnels the other week but before
everything explodes lalo is clearly the
type of person who can take the time to
really put everything into motion or is
he because as he outlines the difference
is that gus fring is too smart what's
also pretty comical here is that the
video message that lalo records for don
eladio in the sewer is kind of a weird
reflection to what we see with howard
where he goes fully off the rail to
cliff lalo says in the recording that he
knows that gus has the superlab being
centered in the sewer right outside and
then howard himself goes on a rant about
jimmy and how it was all his plan both
are of course right but again the end of
this episode highlights the difference
between their two worlds and the literal
execution part of the title and coming
back to what lalo does he eventually
calls his uncle hector at the medical
home and we quite quickly realize that
mike is recording the call he hangs up
before he can talk to his uncle and he
has a breakdown in the sewer but he
doesn't give up and eventually brings
the home back up explaining to hector
that he's going back to the original
plan a plan a that simply involves
killing gus mike then takes this
recording to gus at one of his los polos
homanos charity meetings and the chicken
boss appears to agree with mike that
they should stick to the plan of
catching lalo with the underground
bunker at his home but there's a big
question surrounding how all of this
will go down is lalo really taking up
the original plan or is he just playing
this up for the tampered call and is gus
really going to stick to his and mike's
original plan with killing lalo at his
house well based on gus hiding that gun
at the superlab a few episodes ago i
think he and lalo both know that this is
all going to lead back there celalo
going back to the original plan might
just be for show and gus's plan is to
lead him back to the super lab we'll
have to see how this all goes down in
the last six episodes but what we do
know is that lalo is not waiting around
when it comes to the climactic events
that follow like i was saying in my
predictions video i wouldn't be
surprised if both the jimmy and lalo
narrative threads fully join together as
we enter the back part of this final
season it would be the perfect entry
point to jimmy's transition into the
breaking bad world and it would allow
the writers the opportunity to connect
the dots when it comes to saul's famous
line about lalo and nacho in the
previous show and that hauntingly
appears to be the case the ending of
betical saw season 6 episode 7 is quite
the chilling end that will keep us
waiting weeks for the consequences to
fully form in the final scene howard
comes straight round kim and jimmy's
apartment and finally tells them what he
really thinks about them just like how
nacho said what he really thought in
episode 3. the only difference is howard
doesn't get to make the move surrounding
his fate while howard gives them the
full truth and surprisingly it's kim who
really gets the big telling about what
she's become he tells jimmy that he's
been like this ever since he was
slipping jimmy and that he hasn't
changed and then with kim he tells her
that she was supposed to be the good one
and he doesn't know why she's become
this way he concludes by saying that he
thinks they're perfect for each other
and that they do it because they like it
and what's so truthful about this is
that they were literally making out
while they were listening in on howard's
earlier meeting and seeing their plan
executed alongside his downfall they
listened in and orchestrated this yet
they didn't even realize the problems he
may be facing in his private life and
what this could do to him and while we
could have seen what would happen next
the show makes it very clear that no
this is really the end for howard that's
because with the hint of someone else
entering the room we literally see the
candle flame flicker on the table as if
a ghost has entered the room from their
dark past and that ghost turns out to be
lalo salamanca himself this is the
moment where jimmy mcgill and kim wexler
are gone forever and this is the moment
where the world of lawyers ends and the
breaking bad world truly begins lalo
shoots howard in the head in front of
them and states that he wants to talk
and that's it that's the shocking moment
we are left with and the moments that
will only escalate and fully entwine the
narrative threads we've seen throughout
the show when howard shows a new
employee how to open a shaken soda can
earlier on and do it in a safe and
successful way we learn that this is
completely wrong in the circumstances
that surround his death the world is not
a safe place
and it's the way that both betical saw
and breaking bad have built on this
tension making it so effective and
meaningful especially when things hit
the fan there are truly consequences in
this bad world and now we have seen the
first of many big ones left to unfold
this season so what did i think of the
mid-season finale for better corsol
season 6 well like all the best episodes
of this show it includes all the
entertaining comedy yet devastating
consequences too this finale has of
course set up the final six and the dark
turn that we are going to be taking but
it also shows us the end of one story
and that is the drama surrounding
professionalism and lawyers that the
show has been so entertaining and
comical with at times now the
seriousness of the narrative has fully
kicked in and this ending was a painful
punch that tells us there's no going
back of course we'll have to see if they
can stick the landing with the last
episodes but the first seven have been a
master class in tb tension character
progression storytelling reaching its
bubbling conclusion and overall complete
payoff again we're not fully there yet
but i have to be honest like episode 3
this one is certainly one of the very
best of the show it delivers on its
title and gets us increasingly anxious
for what's going to happen in the
conclusive part of season six now we
have to wait over six weeks to see where
this goes but what a first half this has
truly been and i think we're in the
presence of tv greatness better cool
soul hasn't quite yet finished giving us
the full transformation of jimmy into
saul goodman but this episode definitely
sets in line the final stages of that
and like i was saying it fully
transitions us into the world that we
knew from breaking bad even the
cinematography and tense notes of music
made me feel like i was watching an
episode from the back part of that show
but whatever happens in the remaining
episodes this july we'll have to quickly
get on board with the world that we once
knew because like kim and jimmy we're
now in too deep
but that was my spoiler review and recap
for better corsol season 6 episode seven
plan and execution is an episode that we
have been bubbling to all season and now
the wait for the last six episodes is
going to be excruciating the title is
painfully reflective of the events and
the writers behind the camera and the
team in front should be incredibly proud
of what they've given us so far but what
this promises us is a final run of
eventful executions and i honestly can't
wait to see how it all goes down the
tension is high and crafted superbly
within the episodes we've seen so far
and my gut tells me it's only going to
go up from here we'll have to see but
better corsol is really on the
trajectory to accomplish great things
come its ending i'm giving season 6
episode 7 of betical saul a rating of 10
out of 10. i will be doing a season 6
part 2 predictions video tomorrow and
bringing multiple videos over the next
week i'm also going on holiday for two

videos for you guys to watch that will
