I mean I felt it was Lalo on the first flicker, setting it up with Howard first then Lalo was nice work. You might have guessed it was Kim that dies if first flicker was Lalo. I had guessed Howard's death might break Kim, but didn't see him dying at Lalo's hand.
That was excellent work with the flicker of the candle. You were supposed to think it was Lalo the first time, but it was Howard. The second time, you KNEW it was Lalo.
They wanted you to think Howard was going to die. They wanted you to know that Howard was going to die. They deliberately put in so many red herrings that you would not suspect it would come from Lalo's gun.
