Contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 5 episode 2 and earlier episodes.
Gus threatens Nacho’s father unless Nacho earns Lalo’s trust and reports the Salamancas’ plans. Meanwhile, two men encouraged by Saul’s half-price offer embark on a crime spree. At a Salamanca stash house, their cocaine bags become stuck in a drainpipe. Police arrest Domingo as he tries to retrieve them, but Nacho gets inside before the raid and removes the remaining drugs. Lalo is impressed. He initially fears Domingo will inform, then sees another possible use for the arrest. Elsewhere, Mike drinks heavily while grieving Werner and lashes out at Kaylee when she asks about her father.
Kim remains uncomfortable with Jimmy’s methods, despite having used his suggested deception to secure a client’s plea bargain. They visit an open house together as Jimmy tries to reconnect with her. At the courthouse, Saul rapidly negotiates cases and earns money through volume. Suzanne Ericsen insists that their pending matters wait for a formal appointment, so Jimmy pays a custodian to disable the elevator while they are inside it. With her schedule interrupted, he secures several favourable deals. Howard invites Jimmy to lunch, bringing an unwelcome reminder of HHM. As Jimmy leaves the courthouse, Nacho arrives and forces him into his waiting car outside the building.
