The following contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 5.
In Better Call Saul season 5 episode 7, “Jmm,” Gus Fring takes a little trip to Houston, Texas. He’s not there to see the rodeo at Reliant Stadium (now Nrg Stadium), though he does presumably check that out. He’s not even there to share the good news about El Pollo Hermanos’ superb sales reports, though he does that too.
No, Gus heads to Houston to meet with two of his Madrigal Electromotive accomplices, Peter Schuler (Norbert Weisser) and Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser) about setbacks on a project very important to Better Call Saul and the larger Breaking Bad universe altogether. Yes, after being hinted at previously, the enormous German conglomerate Madrigal Electromotive (or Madrigal Elektromotoren GmbH in the original German) is now fully a part of this story. Here is why that’s important and what it might mean for the show going forward.

[Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 5, Episode 7, “Jmm.”]
It was an episode title earlier in this season of “Better Call Saul,” but “The Guy for This” underlines something that’s only crystallized in the weeks since it aired. Through all the machinations of its characters (and the writers who guide them), Season 5 has been a fulfillment of the idea that the core people at the heart of “Better Call Saul” are the right ones for their job.

And it’s not just them. This week, it all starts in the courtroom. In a move befitting of the show’s sense of humor and the workmanlike nature of their marriage, the judge that oversees Jimmy and Kim’s humble civil ceremony brings the level of gravitas...

Better Call Saul Season 5 Episode 7
Jimmy and Kim’s relationship makes some serious strides in “Jmm,” the latest excellent installment of Better Call Saul, but they all seemed to be nullified by the episode’s final minutes. Even though the pair finally reach a point in their relationship where they decide to be completely open and honest with each other, and Jimmy tests that full disclosure policy by mentioning his arrangement with the cartel, we can see the exact moment that Jimmy leaves Kim behind. Jimmy and Kim may be married, but they’re not built to last.
The moment actually has nothing to do with Kim. It even starts with Jimmy taking his better half’s advice; Jimmy knows that he shouldn’t work to get Lalo out on bail. He’s seen the collateral damage that Lalo’s cartel business creates...

Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) is a man of many talents on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

But above all else, Gus Fring is a simple businessman.
In this exclusive new clip from Better Call Saul season 5, episode 7 “Jmm,” we get to see Gus in a new environment. Here he is in a nondescript boardroom, sharing the successes of Los Pollos Hermanos with his business partners. Give it a look below.
Great news for everyone who has ever wanted to hear Giancarlo Esposito happily chirp the line “spice curls.” Gus’s full message to his assembled fellow entrepreneurs is as follows:
“Thank you Herr Schuler. I am delighted to report that last quarter, Los Pollos Hermanos has increased sales 8.3%. Comparable restaurant sales increased by 4.2%, representing the 8th consecutive quarter of comparable sales increases.

With her family in danger and her husband out of control, Skyler finally finds her voice in this week’s episode of Breaking Bad. Too bad that voice is quickly reduced to a quivering whimper by Walt’s roaring meglomania. Elsewhere, twitchy little Lydia is back, and Mike’s not happy about it. It’s getting harder and harder to ignore that time is running short, so let’s review the major events of “51.”
Collision Course | Lydia Rodarte-Quayle hasn’t calmed down one scooch since we saw her last. And why would she, with the DEA visiting her at Madrigal’s Texas offices?...
