Memorable moments!
This was episode gives us some great scenes and moments to follow up on the great events that we got from the previous episode!
Mike finally sees who stopped him from killing Hector and there exchange were awesome! We can tell already just how much Gus hates Hector! He does not care about him he only wants to protest his interests!
When it comes to who cares for who, we also get the cold moment where Chuck has Jimmy arrested and proclaims he does it for his sake! Its hard for us to empathyze with Chuck at this point, making the later Pay off that much better!

The Die is Cast!
Jimmy is between a rock and a hard place. Chuck knew his emotional brother would go way overboard. He tries to fight his charges on his own. Chuck meets with the ADA and proposes a lose/lose situation. Jimmy gets off the hook as a citizen, but a letter to the New Mexico bar will relieve him of his license to practice. But there is an ace in the hole, so to speak. The other plot involves Mike's efforts to get the man who threatened his family. He has slid into bed with Gus from "Breaking Bad." How far will he go? This episode is very good as it creates suspense and danger. Nice work, writers.
Odenkirk and McKean on form
Sunk Cost is another strong chapter of Better Call Saul.
Fring scenes are solid, but given our prior knowledge of Breaking Bad not overly compelling due to the known fate of all characters involved. Most of the intrigue for me is based on finding out how certain relationships between individuals are established and how Hector's paralysis happens.
The main interest for me is the situation portrayed between Jimmy and Chuck. The writers depict a suitably complex relationship between brothers. Their dialogue is as compelling as ever and Jimmy being processed involves some amusing moments. Bob Odenkirk and Michael McKean are both excellent.
Visually it has plenty of superb imagery. As ever the camerawork and editing tells the story, particularly in the Mike scenes, which use the desert scenery to great effect.

- Quotes
Jimmy McGill: Here's what's gonna happen. One day you're gonna get sick, again. And one of your employees is gonna find you, curled up in that space blanket-take you to the hospital. Hook you up to those machines that beep and whir, and hurt. And this time it will be too much, and you will die there. Alone.
