- GoofsKim, Francesca, and the audience are able to hear Jimmy's guitar from reception, even though his door is closed. But when they leased the space, Jimmy demonstrated that the offices were soundproof and made a big deal out of it.

[last lines]
Gustavo 'Gus' Fring: It would be unwise for us to be publicly associated. Wouldn't you agree?
Mike Ehrmantraut: Because of the Salamancas?
Gustavo 'Gus' Fring: If they were to take notice, there would be consequences for both of us.
Mike Ehrmantraut: I'm thinking a paper transaction.
Gustavo 'Gus' Fring: Even so. Perhaps there is a way. One with a degree more difficulty, but one I may be able to arrange.
Mike Ehrmantraut: Would 20% overcome this difficulty?
Gustavo 'Gus' Fring: I would not take money from your family.

Nacho gave a great performance and everyone could feel the tension and anxiety as he tried to pull off his scheme with Hector. The pace and timing of what appeared to be a simple scene on the outside but a highly tense and planned scene was beautifully executed. After all he is working with dangerous people. Meanwhile Jimmy is also in top form and he is not even a practicing lawyer! Every situation is a potential hustle and the show runners are carefully creating tough and against the wall scenarios that lead to slipping Jimmy to emerge. Even though we know he becomes Saul Goodman we are seeing a creative and brilliant way of how Saul Goodman came to be.
This episode marks a point when this show has really matured and entered a new and higher level.
