As already mentioned, the "Previously on Better Call Saul" segment literally had Gus referencing "the man killed for helping the truck driver" to Mike as the very last bit. And that scene itself happened only a couple episodes ago. There's just no question what that whole opening sequence was in reference to, considering it came mere seconds after that "Previously on" bit, which are obviously context clues as to what threads the episode is going to be following up on.

Ha, the leaps and bounds you'd have to make to connect it to that random woman's husband are so far out of left field to me. Mike would have to do weeks of research to even figure out where he was buried - if he was even buried - much less where, exactly, he went missing. And for what? That, and it sure would be one hell of a coincidence that Nacho would even be connected to that guy in any way.

The Good Samaritan, though, has been mentioned at least a couple of times this season, Mike has clearly felt all kinds of guilt for that, and of course Nacho would know where he's buried.
Exactly. Especially the middle bolded part.

Man, now I will NEVER feel stupid about asking what I think might be a dumb post in the future.

Just watched this am. Catching up. Really good episode I thought. Such great Jimmy being Jimmy stuff.

And for the record since it was debated..... the title Slip was very literal in this case.

So perhaps Fall and Lantern are literal as well. These were discussed before this is not a spoiler just a title.

Of course Slip applied to Jimmy not Chuck. So could be Fall and Lantern apply to different characters as well.
Until Jimmy slipped and fell in the music shop, I thought the title referred to the episode centering around Nacho's plan to "slip" the bottle of pills into Don Hector's coat pocket.

It was obviously a reference to Kim slipping the check to Hamlin. I'm not sure how anyone could see it any other way.

I love this show, because it is crazy to see how people takes things in completely opposite directions when they watch it through the first time.

And how much they miss when they're focusing too hard on trying to catch all the easter eggs...

do you guys think it'll be this coming hiatus or the one after the next season where everyone in the free world scrambles to binge catch up/watch BCS after buzz goes through the roof?

So how does Nacho plan on switching the pills back? There's no guarantee he will be there when Don Hector has an attack or if he is, that they'll be alone together.

Thought he pushed the car in the water and then Jesse brought Mike's body back and they did the acid trick.

No. I've watched enough Doctor Who to know that you can't interfere with your own timestream. I mean, you can, but it causes problems. And Mike is a very cautious guy.

Not really any need to switch the pills back. They aren't going to test his medicine if he dies.

Walt lied to Jesse about Mike's disappearance. Jesse accused Walt of killing him.

Mike specifically advised Nacho to switch the pills back afterward because yes, Hector's henchmen will immediately check that.

So I missed watching this week live. Last night I check my TA Watchlist and I see 133 new replies since I last read this thread (which was on the weekend IIRC)...so I'm thinking something crazy happens in the episode.

Instead, I get the "who's body" debate and nothing else.

Yeah, huge post jumps always mean something crazy happened in the episode OR something really dumb or controversial was brought up in the discussion. Usually the latter.

1) there was a two-week break between episodes so people were already forgetting stuff.

2) the previous episode was good but a little disjointed because it was a series of scenes from multiple plot lines that filled in a lot of small details, and it was easy to miss some things (ie. The lady's husband disappeared 8 years prior to the Good Samaritan)

Hence the abundance of whut in this thread.

I missed that. Seems unlikely though, when a guy with a heart condition dies of a heart condition.

I question the need for Nacho to replace all of the Hectors pills. Why would not just replacing one pill be enough? At some point Hector would take it and there would be no need for Nacho to switch them back out.

The only reason I can think of is the time factor. Nacho needs this to happen sooner rather than later before his father gets involved.

Is there something else I'm missing?

Yeah, Nacho needs this to happen ASAP. Hector was already pushing about his father.

As for the pill switch out, I guess he's figuring he will be in the area or will be called and in all the commotion he can somehow make the switch back, but I think it's unlikely and might lead to yet another story line. Then again, with Tuco in the slammer and Hector hooked up to machines, they really tip their hand on who would be stepping in to be the brains in the interim. Nacho would likely be one of the main brains in the room.

Or it could be the cook, he might be the brains, he looked pretty shady.

Yeah, there is a time factor. Also, if Hector is having an episode and the first pill doesn't work, there's the possibility he goes for a 2nd dose. So if all of the pills aren't swapped, he could end up just fine.

If he only switched one pill that would imply that Hector's condition is so acute that missing one dose would be potentially fatally. I think the idea that Hector not getting the medicine he needs over a period of days is what will cause harm. Narco isn't poisoning him, just taking away what he needs.

This. It likely is something as simple as high blood pressure meds, which if his high blood pressure is left unchecked makes him more likely to have something like a stroke- which, given how gorked out he appeared during BB, likely means that Hector had a stroke that left him a bit incapacitated

Seriously, upon further reflection the invalid portayal of Hector in the wheelchair was pretty damn good acting.

I thought the medicine was Nitroglycerin to help if he was having a heart attack. This would be something that probably happens infrequently but when it does he needs that pill fast.

I thought this was pretty obvious. Not sure how you could think it was anything else.

Listened to the podcast for S03E08. Bob Odenkirk stops by at the end. He said that the big difference between Saul and Jimmy is that Saul is aware of the collateral damage from his actions.

if you don't switch the pills back, the immobile Hector after the stroke could ring his bell to communicate to someone to check the rest of his pills and possibly find a clue to the deliberate cause of his stroke.

Remember when Saul first shows up in BB, he thinks the cartel is out to get him because they figured out he helped Nacho. It's practically guaranteed that Nacho gets caught.

Exactly.

That is a trait of a sociopath, which someone as hardcore as Saul has to be. You stop giving a darn about others.

This is my problem with the Nacho character. He's not hardcore enough for me. The episode where he tells the one peddler "Make it next time" then gets rebuked by Don Hector with "Who's working for who?" He would definitely be on a short leash by Don Hector IRL since his weakness would be costing Don Hector $$$.
