Last week’s Better Call Saul saw a ‘Slip’ and this week it was a ‘Fall’, as Jimmy fully descended into some real nasty business and playing it straight took its toll on Kim.

I bemoaned a lack of screen time for the supporting characters in episode 8, slightly wishing by this point that the prequel was Better Page Gus or Better Meet Mike In A Dark Parking Lot, and episode 9 wasn’t much different, though it was, on the whole, a stronger instalment.
Mike got just a single scene this week, heading to the offices of Madrigal Electromotive (which you’ll remember from Breaking Bad) for a meeting with Lydia, who offered him a dummy role of ‘security consultant’ in order to launder his money.
Takeaway 1: she was matter of fact about it but clearly fearful of the scheme’s mastermind, “more than just a drug dealer” Gustavo Fring.
Takeaway 2: Mike resembles a boulder more and more each week, and his withering response to a Segway should be the internet’s new favourite reaction GIF…
