Yes, it's slower and has it's own pace, but episodes like this are what make this show so good. It's a gradual buildup in the past few episodes, especially the last one was quite slow imo. But then this right here is a 10/10. Great twist, and great humor. What more can you ask? This show keeps it up.

I thought this was one of THE most creative episodes of any I have seen. The letter writing campaign was hilarious. For those that are wondering why so much effort to save this guy, it's that he and his people did Jimmy a big favor, set him on his way. There is such a thing as loyalty and there is also a practical side to this. As for Kim. The same people, time after time, have it in for Kim Wexler. What's the big deal? She has been by Jimmy's side the whole time. He has strong feelings for her, but at times he betrays her. She has had to take on the financial burden underground whatever. How should she react? Please drop the show if one character is enough to dismiss any enjoyment.
As great as the Chuck saga was, his character and storyline wasn't as pulling as where we are heading now. We are slowly but surely seeing the Better Call Saul enter the Breaking Bad world. Jimmy and Kim's scheming together is top quality television. As Jimmy makes lots of mistakes, this episode reminded us of how good he is at his schemes. He is getting smarter and smarter when it comes to getting out of trouble. The Mike situation with the German employees is great too, as he is trying to make Gus happy but walking on eggshells. These last two episodes of season 4 are setting up to be absolutely fantastic.
What a piece of episode, I feel that they gave me more than I needed, first Kim and Jimmy's extraordinary plan to free Huell from jail, very funny, intelligent and even charming. Near the end, Jimmy says again that those
actions will not happen again, while Jimmy thinks throughout the episode that Kim is upset because he is forcing her to commit a crime (and several more), the reality is that Kim is watching how the world forces a person to commit small crimes to achieve true justice. Here is where the moral fall of both characters is defined.
Another character who is incredible with just one minute on screen is the great Lalo Salamanca. The introduction of this character is iconic and will be forever, everyone already associates Lalo Salamanca as a character who, in his best intentions, is in fact a very charismatic character. Really worrying and exciting about the inclusion of this character, I smell chaos.

- TriviaAt the beginning, Kim asks Jimmy if he'd be back from his trip to the Coushatta (Louisiana) Post Office on Thursday. Jimmy replies, "Thursday, yeah, unless we break down in Amarillo." While this doesn't register with Kim, his response was a callback to a stunt he pulled in the second season. Jimmy traveled to Texas in an effort to reach residents living in the Sandpiper Crossing located in Amarillo. He'd paid a Sandpiper Crossing driver to fake a bus breakdown, giving Jimmy the time to come aboard and solicit seniors.
- GoofsApparently none of the writers, nor the producers, of the series have ever been to Tucumcari, New Mexico. It's a small, somewhat poor, town whose major employers are the county and state government, its hospital and the various motels along and near Interstate 40 for tourists traveling through it to other locations. The poverty rate is greater than 25%.
There would little need for a new bank branch there now, or in 2004.

Jimmy McGill: Yes, well I got crawdads in my pants.
Kim Wexler: [laughs] That's... that's not a thing.
Jimmy McGill: It's a thing that happens to you when you... sittin' in the bayou.
