scenario

I think he really liked the guy. He just wanted to hear him talk. He didn't care about what. Gus love the enthusiasm in his voice. His love of life that Gus was slowly losing in himself. It's like that in a lot of relationships. Some times you just like to hear the sound of your partners voice. They weren't partners but Gus was dreaming of it.

Kim and Jimmy are absolutely perfect for each other. They just have this tendency to destroy everyone around them. They'd destroy any kids they might have had. (In real life they are too old to have kids but there's always adoption plus they are supposed to be 10 years or so younger than they really are.)

Of all the things Kim did that was the absolute worst. Ruthless.

Lalo is the criminal. Howard was not a criminal but he was a victim of Lalo. Saul and Kim are criminals and also victims of Lalo. He terrorized both of them and made them terrified for their lives. I feel sorry for Howard. I do not particularly feel sad for Saul and Kim but the fact that they are both pretty awful people doesn't mean they weren't victims.

It wouldn't shock me if something strange happens like one of the Kettleman's gets killed and the other one blames Kim and kills her for revenge.

Probably not. Kim is a con woman. She might think of something. And Jimmy didn't care. He was willing to die for her. Probably the last altruistic thing that Saul will ever do. Jimmy, maybe. Gene, maybe. But not Saul.

One thing you hear when women are attacked is, "Why didn't she run/fight back/... I would have never done that. She must have wanted it." Whenever I hear words such as "If I was in that situation" it sends off warning bells in my head. Also, it is possible for criminals to also be victims. Howard was Lalo's victim. Kim did awful things but compared to Lalo, she's a saint. Seeing someone you know shot in front of you is likely to mess you up. If she told the cops that her husband is being held, the cops would not have been subtle about it. They would have either sent in 20 cop cars all at once or they'd have taken her back to the station for her own good and interview her for an hour or two and then maybe send one patrol car over to look around. If you want to see a situation about how cops react to a possible shooting situation there was a school shooting not that long ago, where the cops just sat there and let school children get murdered one by one. Trusting cops to handle the situation is very risky.

I can be done in one trip but by the story, Howard wasn't in any condition to plan anything. He was driving aimlessly. He didn't plan anything until he got to the ocean.

It's probably someone asking him about his car warrantee.

This really comes across a having a touch of blaming the victim. If I was in that situation, I would never have done that. I'd have used my non existent fighting skills to take the gun away from Lalo and stop him. Kim was terrorized. She was in a total state of panic. She wasn't capable of thinking clearly. People in a state of panic don't think clearly.

Saul was the one who got Lalo out of prison. Saul's story is that the serial killer he got out of prison broke into his house, killed one of Saul's co-workers and then forced Saul's wife to try to kill some unnamed person at some address. Kim's story is a stranger broke in, forced her to try to kill an unknown person and when I got there a whole bunch of armed people to stopped me. Saul's story sounds like someone grasping at straws. Kim sound like she got herself mixed up with drug dealers.

He's only there for people looking at a distance. Seeing a shadow behind the blinds. Somebody looking at the house from a distance will be able to see someone in there. A superficial resemblance is all you need. When Kim walked up they knew she was coming long before she got to the door and were ready.

She knows about Gus. She can tell the police that Lalo sent her to kill a man wearing glasses at a certain address and it was full of armed people. That address is connected to Gus, directly or indirectly. That is a loose end.

I doubt Kim is in jail. She knows about Gus now. I think she either dies, joins the cartel or disappears. I'm not a big fan of disappearing.

The problem I have with that argument is that Howard was killed because he happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. If Jimmy and Kim had invited him and his wife over for dinner the same thing would have happened. What Jimmy and Kim did was wrong but Howard's death is not their fault. Lots of other things are though.

Kim has the image of Howard dying seared in her brain. She's terrified. She's just saying over and over in her head that if she doesn't do what Lalo wants, Jimmy will be dead. She's not thinking. Every time she tries to think Howard's dead body pops up in her head. Realistically, if she did kill her target why would Lalo leave them alive? All the evidence points to them. If they die nothing leads to him. But Kim isn't thinking logically. If Lalo didn't die, they were going to die one way or the other. Telling the cops wouldn't do her any good. If Lalo is waiting in their apartment, Jimmy's dead as soon as they see a cop even if they come without uniforms. Either Lalo's waiting and their dead or Lalo isn't and they might live. She's just trying to string it out as much as possible.

I wouldn't mind it as a side story. Kim tries it and fails.

You've got two cases. Howard acting erratic but Jimmy and Kim helping that along. And Howard actually getting murdered. If your the police and look really hard, you can find evidence that Kim and Jimmy were up to no good. But to jump from that to Jimmy and Kim murdered someone they knew in cold blood, disposed of the body, moved his car hundreds of miles away and got back in time to go to work the next morning seems far fetched.

The shoes were left on the beach like that's where Howard left them. Howards shoes were perfectly polished. He wouldn't swim in them. The tide came in and washed one of them further up the beach and pulled the other one slightly off shore. The current 10 feet from the beach is not the same as it would be if you swam a half a mile or a mile off shore.

That's the point. The cops are trying to put together a theory of who killed Howard. The pieces don't fit together.

Kim has classic PTSD. She's in shock. Her mind is disconnected from her body. She's not capable of forming a coherent thought. That sometimes happens to people who witness something traumatic. Seeing someone you've known for years brutally and casually murdered a few feet in front of you is going to be traumatic for just about anyone. They called it shell shock in the first world war and combat fatigue in the second world war. It happens.

True. California touches Arizona so its two states to the west. Is two states several? It could be in the gulf so Texas or Mississippi.

Lalo thinks he's invulnerable and always the smartest guy in the room. He gets a kick out of waiting till the last second. He probably times the run when he drove from Jimmy's place several times so he knew how long it would take. He reminds me of someone whose been taking his own product and thinks he's superman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Harold_Holt 1967 The Prime Minister of Australia was swimming in the ocean near shore and just disappeared. His body was never found. If the Prime Minister of a fairly large country can just disappear while in office, I don't know why a lawyer couldn't. And did it have to be California. Could they have driven east and ended up in the gulf.
