Monday’s episode of “Better Call Saul” titled “Rico” was a perfect setup for the stretch run of the show’s inaugural season.
Heading into the season’s penultimate episode and finale, Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and brother Chuck McGill (Michael McKean) appear to have a major case on their hands that could jump start Jimmy’s career and revamp Chuck’s life.
There’s one thing, I, Barry Dadon, however, will miss if Chuck returns to his normal ways: his infamous space blanket. So far, that has been absolutely one of my favorite parts of the “Breaking Bad” prequel. But at the end of episode eight, Chuck went outside into broad daylight without his cape and appeared to not be affected by the sun as in prior episodes.
Either way, Chuck and Jimmy seem like they are on the verge of striking gold.
Speaking of “Breaking Bad,” it seems like ticket booth operator Mike Ehrmantraut could be joining up with the legendary Gustavo Fringe in the next few episodes. In case you forgot, Fring is the owner of the famed Los Pollos Hermanos in “Breaking Bad.”
After Mike said “You tell me what you got. I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” at the end of “Rico” while seeking some gig, you can’t help hope but think he’s going to start working for Gus this season.
With two episodes remaining, things look like they are about to start getting even more interesting for Jimmy McGill and Mike Ehrmantraut. Chuck McGill, too. I just hope that doesn’t mean of the end of the space blanket.
