I didn't downgrade this episode because of my problem with the final shot. The A+ grade does not exist on the A.V. Club, "Palestinian Chicken" notwithstanding.

Did you read the fourth paragraph of the review?  And also the footnote?

Sure, but Jesse was just talking about a plant.  A lily.  If the show ends showing a plant that is lily-shaped (not that hard to identify), I think we'll all get it.

We've got more to learn about Gus — somebody, maybe Hank, is going to ferret out his whole Chilean past.  I am hoping that means GIANCARLO FLASHBACK ACTION! in season 5.

Also A.V. Club policy.

There's surely enough of the ruins of the place left to prove that there was a basement that wasn't in any of the official plans.

Apparently not decided yet whether it's going to air all in one go.

No, that's Gus's car in the hospital parking lot. We saw a close-up of the air freshener last week.

Sure, claim your props.  You were among many, though.

Curb shouldn't have.  There is no A+.

Oh no, you need the layer of actual cake in there, like @avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus  says above. BR-style.

Did you read the stray observations?

That was nice.  He even had the "Hello My Name Is" sticker on!

I love ice cream cake.

D'oh.  Drowned out by Dawes.

It is a very interesting thought, and would be a fun twist on TV Club Classic — the ultimate flashback.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you. Turning in geek badge.

Yes, he reconnected with them as part of the whole "I'm a valued employee getting my life back together" arc.

Gus said, "There will be an appropriate response."

Yes, the "his" in "his own snubnose" is intended to have Walter as antecedent.
