This is about Billy's long journey home after being set up by Marisol. He finds himself in a house in a surreal situation. The people there are beyond belief, but they are holding him for some reason. Apparently, when he heard about Julio's death, he went to pieces. His drinking does get tiresome at times. Anyway, through a series of the most bizarre efforts, he and a Chinese American woman risk their lives. Back in the states that maniac with the knife-blade hand is wreaking havoc. Marisol has gone completely dark. Tom tries to get away from his pursuers. This is nonstop action. It's also some of the most bizarre stuff I've ever seen on film.
Season 1 was great. Don't know what happened to Season 2. It was weird, kinky and half the time didn't make much sense.
Nail biting, edge of your seat, heart racing, absolutely thrilling - Tarantinoesque.

Basically after all that happened, which pretty much ended the entire premise of the show and what it was all leading to, they needed this crazy break that was something out of Breaking Bad when most of this show is Better Call Saul, especially season one with William Hurt in the Michael McKean deranged genius/lawyer who can't practice law anymore but still runs things role.
Here in this strange episode is a chance where Billy doesn't have to react to what had gone down which would have taken basically a lot of sulking back home otherwise. So this episode does serve a purpose. It makes it so he can be back on track for the final episode, so to speak. Plus, hey, you got John Savage who hasn't been in much, and the Applebees lady's fake laugh is hilarious, as is her and Billy's dialogue halfway through, when things pick up.

...a Breaking Bad episode with lots of weird characters in bizarre situations like a bad drug trip. I laughed my buns off though. It's great entertainment.
