Very, very good.

Just some dang good television from beginning to end. It didn't at all start how I thought it would, and it didn't end how I thought it would either

Hank has really lost it, but I never disliked the guy, despite the way he has treated his wife and colleagues this season. And just when he kind of starts to come around, sht hits the fan again.

I really liked Aaron Paul's two scenes in the hospital. Jesse is someone I've been waiting to see walk back in to the spotlight this season, and the wait was worth it. I feel for the guy. I'm going to miss Gale, assuming he won't be in the rest of the season. It's good to have Jesse back though.

I don't mention this often either, but Bob Odenkirk is awesome as Saul Goodman. He's hilarious in this, rather intentional or not. Such a good performance and character.

The highlight of the episode, of course, is the last act. It was built up to perfectly. With the two brothers getting a new target, it was evident they weren't going to waste any time finding him. That whole shooting sequence was phenomenally shot and choreographed. One jaw dropping moment to the next, and it all took place between some parking spaces. I'm both content and anxious for whatever comes next. Poor Hank. Poor Marie. Poor Lionel and Marco I guess😂

I rate it a 10/10, but it really is just a great episode form the very beginning to the very end. Best episode so far, and I can already tell the quality of the rest of the season, and the series, will probably be much better still.
