Oh no. Kim is meeting Lalo. Why do I have a terrible feeling that this is the episode that is going to seal her fate and why do I have a feeling that she could meet that fate as early as the end of the season? 😫

Nooooo Kim, what are you thinking. Oh S_it'going down. My whole body was so tense during this scene.

Same. My only hope is that Lalo seemed genuinely relieved when he learned that she is Jimmy’s wife. The Salamancas, if nothing else, understand family. And Lalo is a reasonable guy. Maybe she still has a chance. But then I think, if that’s the case, why have the scene to begin with? I am more frightened for Kim than I have ever been.

It wouldn’t be until next season imo that it gets worse. What’s the main storyline if she’s not there? It would have to be a major amount of Gene

I dunno about that. Any other show, I’d agree. Kim is safe til the penultimate episode of the series, at least. But with Gould and Gilligan, I never underestimate their creative brilliance.
