'Better Call Saul' season 4 episode 4 review: Mike shows a rare emotional side while Kim tries to rediscover her love for law

'Talk' is one of those rare 'Better Call Saul' episodes that has a spattering of violence, and also sees Jimmy boot up his sales skills.
PUBLISHED AUG 28, 2018

'Something Beautiful' kicked off in the most quintessential Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould way possible: 5:49 minutes of nothing but silence. But then, sometimes, silence speaks volumes and this case, it spelled doom for Nacho (Michael Mando). The Salamanca crony's scheme to poison and kill Hector (Mark Margolis) was uncovered by Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) in 'Breathe,' resulting in him having to shift allegiance to the Los Pollos Hermanos supremo and putting him in more danger than ever before.

Episode 3 also saw the return of our favorite meth cook, and no, we don't mean Walter White (Bryan Cranston). Gus has a meeting with a special chemist friend, and viewers are given the first glimpse of Gale Boetticher (David Costabile). 'Breaking Bad' fans will remember the overenthusiastic, sprightly man as Walter's protege, though he does meet quite the unfortunate end. He looks certain to play a role in the fourth season of 'Better Call Saul,'  but to what capacity remains the question.
