gamerant.com:

The following article contains spoilers for Better Call Saul season 6.

Better Call Saul has finally returned from its 7-week break with an episode that does everything to keep the series’ momentum going and close out one of its most intriguing story arcs, all while playing to the show’s strengths: creating endless tension that makes time fly in this 50-minute entry.

For a quick recap, Better Call Saul’s mid-season finale left Kim and Jimmy confronting a determined Lalo Salamanca, who by mere chance happened to coincide with another unexpected visit from Howard Hamlin, thus feeling compelled to put an end to the latter’s life. This is all part of Lalo’s mission to uncover Gustavo Fring’s underground lab, as well as also killing the chicken man to gain Don Eladio’s favor and avenge the attacks against the Salamanca family.

Better Call Saul: The Best Episodes, According To IMDb

The opening scene is veryBreaking Bad, showing a pair of fancy oxford shoes by the sea, right before cutting to a shot of Howard’s “namasté” Jaguar abandoned at an unknown beach location — it’s not as subtle as past opening shots, but it’s a nice touch to say goodbye to Howard. Over at the crime scene, Tony Dalton absolutely dominates this sequence by informing the couple of what he has in store for them, though not before Jimmy can use his loudmouth superpowers to persuade him to send Kim instead of him to execute what seems like a certain hit at Gus’ home.

Rhea Seehorn’s performance is not in the spotlight as much as in past episodes but this is precisely where the brilliance of it all lies, Kim has very few lines in “Point and Shoot” but every single of those as well as her expressions are there to tell the audience this is the lowest of lows for her,
