Like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul has always had a sense of humor. It's just that some episodes lean a little heavier into it.

"He's got one lawyer,"
— Tricia Grace ⛄ (@sapphiremoon01) March 17, 2020
Yeah but when that ONE lawyer is Saul Goodman, you may as well be up against a whole army of lawyers. Saul's creativity and determination knows no bounds. #BetterCallSaul
For Jimmy, the best part of this has to be known Chuck would HATE what he's doing.
And honestly, good. I don't agree with everything about Saul, but Chuck was the gd worst. #BetterCallSaul

While Jimmy has been gradually 'slippin'' toward Saul Goodman for four-and-a-half seasons now, his antics were on full display as he threw every possible legal scrap he could at Mesa Verde. Of course, his late brother, Chuck (Michael McKean) wouldn't approve.

Kim being shadier than Jimmy this episode was a bit of a curve ball... and that's why Vince is the GOAT #BetterCallSaul

Everything Kim does on #BetterCallSaul these days makes me more and more terrified for her- personally and professionally.

I really hope after #BetterCallSaul that Kim is still alive, she just got disappeared and she's living her best life somewhere as Giselle. 🙏

As Kim gets pulled further and further into Saul's schemes (which has never ended well for her), it also called into question her fate on the show. Especially since she's never so much mentioned in Breaking Bad.

Of course, there were a few obvious, topical jokes.

#BetterCallSaul Fring wants Mike by his side so that he could get revenge for Max. He is a man who doesn’t do half measures and will always plan accordingly. pic.twitter.com/OrlURH0b4P

Phew, that last scene with Gus was my favorite of the episode. Giancarlo is a legend. #BetterCallSaul

Then, came the big conversation between Gus and Mike, which didn't reveal anything new, but gave a new perspective to their relationship over the course of Breaking Bad.

Max! Gus never forgets.#BetterCallSaul
— Phil VonNeida (@ShamWithYams) March 17, 2020
Of course, it wasn't all lighthearted. Particularly the reveal of the fountain, which was dedicated to Gus's late partner (and presumed lover), Max, made it all the more poignant.
Better Call Saul airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
