She interrupts him to tell him to take the deal. He offers her a drink if she promises to listen to him rant about Howard.

The employer is obviously nervous about the meeting and Mike does his best to calm the man. Mike and his employer wait for the people they're meeting to do their exchange.
Howard refuses her an explanation until she's on the way out. Kim visits Howard to intercede on Jimmy's behalf. Jimmy asks for an office and Howard tells him they won't be hiring him. Howard is excited to have the case and offers Jimmy a settlement fee when the case is over. The entire office staff turns out to celebrate his return with a hearty round of applause. They added Chuck's reflective blanket to the inside of his suit and HHM has shut down their electricity to help him return to the office. Jimmy and Chuck go to HHM for a meeting with Howard. Mike incapacitates the loud mouth, scares the bigger guy off, and takes the whole job for himself. When their employer shows up, the loud mouth tries to convince the employer to send Mike home because he didn't bring a gun. One of them talks too much and annoys Mike. Mike and two more of the vet's workers wait in a parking deck. While Jimmy sleeps, Chuck goes outside to the mailbox and retrieves Jimmy's cell phone. Jimmy wins the hearing and returns to Chuck's house to find boxes of files opposing counsel sent to stall the filing of the class action lawsuit.

Chuck looks fearfully toward a power transformer and Jimmy tells him to focus on feeling the grass beneath his feet instead. He’s going to stay Gus Fring, arguably the most brilliant person ever to appear on either show.Jimmy and Chuck sit on a bench together in the sunshine as Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 9 begins. I don’t think anyone should assume that he’ll move in next door to Mike and borrow a cup of sugar.
He makes people work to get to him as we saw him make Walter White work very hard and jump through a great many hoops to get to face-to-face with him in Breaking Bad. This is a character who is very circumspect. It could have been through Gus Fring’s agency but not him personally.Īnd furthermore, just because Fring’s back-technically speaking, if not literally-it doesn’t mean that folks should assume that they’ll see him at the beginning of Season 3. As we know from Breaking Bad, Gus Fring is a man of great resources and is very much a long-term planner and he has some very skilled and cold-blooded folks working for him. In a perfect world, in our mind’s eye, the way this would have worked is people would have said, “Oh, man, who left that note?” And then weeks or months from now Peter would have tweeted out, “Hey, look for a clue,” and people would have said, “Oh, was that Fring?” Having said all of that, that doesn’t mean people should assume Fring put that thing on the windshield with his own hand. It certainly reminds us again that we better keep all our i’s dotted and our t’s crossed in every aspect of the show. Gould: It’s hard to complain about people paying attention to every aspect of the show. Vince Gilligan: And their attention to detail, and God bless them for it. I guess we really underestimated the genius and hard work of our fans. And we thought we’d be revealing it maybe sometime over the summer. We worked very hard more than that, the folks in our office, Jenn Carroll and Ariel Levine, worked very, very hard trying to help us figure that out. We had this-to us-this very bright idea of encoding the words “Fring’s Back” in the episode titles. Peter Gould: We were hoping it would be more of an open question at this point.
