Ya, it hasn't been all that clear this season, it was either last season or the one before they kinda set it out, but I don't remember it being clearly laid out at any time. They probably could have done a better job reminding the viewers this season, though it did come up in the settlement discussions.

Can someone please remind me - how did Lalo find out about Werner and the German contractors? And do we know for certain he killed Werner’s wife?

Werner broke out of the place where the crew was being kept and wired money to his wife so she could buy a plane ticket and visit him in Albuquerque, then he checked into a spa.

Mike tracked down the wire transfer place where he sent the money from and got the information. Lalo was suspicious and had been trailing Mike at the time and saw him go into the wire place.

Later, after Mike spotted him and shook the tail, Lalo went back to the wire place. When the guy who worked there wouldn't give him the information, Lalo killed the guy and stole the info.

Lalo found out what spa Werner was staying at and called him posing as someone working for Gus. Werner gave Lalo a bunch of info before Mike showed up and hung up the phone.

The info he got was enough for Lalo to track down Werner's wife in Germany.


Based on what we saw on the show, it appears that Lalo didn't kill her, but snuck out the window after stealing the Lucite block with the slide rule inside.

^^^^

This show is definitely one of the greatest TV shows ever, but there have definitely been multiple moments where, and many recently, where I feel totally lost. The pandemic doesn't help, but I've found the need to go back multiple times to wikis to keep all the stories straight.

Maybe the answer is just to have a full second viewing from start to finish.

The last episode of season 5 aired Apr. 20, 2020 - two years is a long time between episodes. Especially those two years.

Looks like they're going to jump into the Breaking Bad timeline at some point, that's definitely BB-era Saul at the end

‘I’m assuming stainless will do’? Mike is hilarious.

Great episode. Ramped things up similar to the end of BB. Scene with Mike, Kim and Jimmy at the end echoed Mike’s first ever scene in BB with Jesse. Kim is a wreck. Unbelievable acting by Rhea Seehorn. Amazing TV.

The only bad thing about this series is that it is coming to an end. Some GOT episodes are the only thing that hold a candle to the best BB/BCS episodes. Tonight's was pretty perfect, and made the whole Howard subplot a lot more interesting and significant.

Kim and Jimmys relationship is going to make it unbearable when Kim is inevitably killed.

There's a small hope for me the series ends with her and Jimmy reuniting after she is in purgatory and they can be together again. I don't think I've ever wanted a series to have a specific ending as much a I want that. Like ever.

It feels almost weird when this show isn’t a slow burn. I expected it to move a bit slower in some of the storylines but it was so freaking good.
