Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow…
I love how on Better Call Saul, and it was the same for Breaking Bad, you can watch an episode while the episode’s title lingers in the back of your mind as a mystery. Case in point: I knew this week’s chapter was called “Piñata” so occasionally my thoughts would turn to “Hey, I wonder why this episode’s called piñata?”
This week’s adventure didn’t answer my query until the very end – and when it did, it was a doozy. What seemed to be an earnest attempt by Jimmy to stop some local punks from rolling him when he was selling phones turned into a pretty damn diabolical plan to scare the utter s*** out f these boys, by hanging them upside down in a warehouse and having Huell and another heavy threaten them with ball bats. Jimmy never expected these kids to accept his generous offer and knew they could be suckered into a chase. His ability to read the worst in people is almost superhuman.
