Episode 8 recap
The previous episode of Better Call Saul Season 6 was titled Point and Shoot. It was directed by Vince Gilligan and written by Gordon Smith. The episode saw Lalo providing Jimmy with an address to Gus' house and instructing Jimmy to drive there and shoot him.
Jimmy convinced Lalo to send Kim, after which Lalo tied Jimmy to a chair and left. Jim was apprehended at Gus' front door by Mike, to whom she explained the entire situation with Lalo. She pointed out Gus' body double, which matched Lalo's description. Mike then ordered his men to move towards Jimmy and Kim's apartment.
When Kim said Lalo had agreed to her switching places with Jimmy, Gus realized the shooting attempt was a diversion and drove down to Lavandería Brillant. Lalo was there to obtain evidence from Gus' planned meth lab and subsequently ambushed Gus, killing his bodyguards. Gus then showed Lalo the lab, triggering a power outage.
In the darkness, he reached for the previously hidden handgun and fired several shots at Lalo. After the lights were on, he found that Lalo had wounded him, but he was also fatally injured. Meanwhile, Mike and his men removed Howard's body from Jimmy and Kim's apartment, and Mike explained that Howard's death would be made to look like a suicide. He then supervised Howard and Lalo's burial on the lab floor.
