You should remember Max, too.
Certainly, Gus does.
This series has always loved to load up a scene with symbolism, and here, it’s unmissable.

But for now, let’s leave Mike in Mexico (hey, he’s in good hands!
Namaste, everyone.)
They gave it their best shot.
But nasty, personal, and dangerous is what Kim wants.
With Mike still in Mexico (“Are you in a tunnel?”
Mister X arrives to their meeting with some bad news: Kevin is a big, bald boy scout.
No skeletons in his closet!
Mister X knows, because he looked.
In Kevin’s closet, I mean.
Because he broke into Kevin’s house.
Because Mister X is, whoops, actually crazy.
And will it be worth it?
If Kim succeeds in killing the call center, will she be able to live with herself?
For some, the mere act of trying may prove to be enough.
For others, “enough” is a fantasy.
And then, of course, there’s Gus Fring.
Mike has gotten more comfortable during his convalescence, and with comfort comes old patterns.
He’s a fixer, after all.
Not just by trade, but by nature.
He asks: why?
Is the good supposed to make up for the bad?
“Is that supposed to balance the scales?”
“It makes up for nothing,” he says.
“I am what I am.”
“Understand what?”
The response is one word.
