I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Both plot threads involved tricking someone into changing out a battery. Chuck was deceiving Ernie as much as Mike was deceiving whoever was tracking him.

Sort of annoyed that I get to be worried about Gene all season now. I doubt he died but he's probably sick or something.

I'm not sure about state law but in Calfornia, not only could it not be used like that, Chuck could literally be brought up on charges for a concealed recording.

In some states it'd be fine, only one party in a conversation needs to consent to recording, in this case Chuck, and I think New Mexico is one of those places and this was looked up last season...yeah, and in fact with an in-person conversation consent isn't necessary at all in New Mexico BUT this is from a law from 2012, not 2002, which I'm having a difficult time finding information for.

Anyone feels like theorising about Gene fainting?
It seemed to be stress related, but I'm sure there are weird theories out there.

E: here's one to get started: Walt poisoned Saul with ricin.

Like I said, I'm worried about it, but I think it was probably stress but possibly could be something like cancer. In which case he knows what to do.

This is getting painful. If anyone is still confused about the gas caps and tracking devices here's a handy guide. There were 4 tracking devices in the episode, one in the job car, one in Mike's regular car, the one Mike bought, and the fresh one the goons at the end swapped with the "dead battery" one.

Edit:^^ God. loving. Dammit...efb...

^^Dude, promo stuff is considered spoilers.

Anyway something I didn't see mentioned here was that second thing Mike got from Chuck's, Jimmy seemed surprised and excited about it, I think Mike said he found it in Chuck's address book in his desk, so probably just contact information. Could be someone Jimmy will use as a character witness or maybe something that could be the location of the tape.

As sweet as watching this build-up is I still don't see how it'll help Jimmy not get disbarred given how dismissive they've been about discussing Chuck's condition.

"My "medical condition" is actually a mental illness and I'm incapable of accepting that and my brother is retroactively shown to have been willing to go to absurd lengths to make me feel like I'm in full control of my faculties which almost definitely includes a supposed confession" is what we call "not good."

Yep, I forgot about the past actions Jimmy took to play into his brother's delusion. That worked perfectly.

Mike explaining cement work to volunteers like they're a bunch of children

I'll admit that I didn't know that texture was achieved by using a push broom until Mike explained it.

Don't the owners often also manage?

They can, I dunno about Cinnabon, but I've worked at places where the owner was a manager mainly so he'd have more stuff to do and also to save money not hiring a manager.

In this case Gene is probably the manager and Saul is the owner.

At the very least it's attempted suicide, it's to be seen if he actually did die.

Surrounded himself with books and barricaded the doors with appliances. Chuck is loving dead :smith:

I wonder if Chuck cashed Howard's check before he died.
