20 Best Episodes Of Better Call Saul

There is no Better Call Saul episode more horrifically, breathtakingly suspenseful as Point and Shoot, which takes place just after the death of Howard and follows Saul, Kim, Mike, and Gus as their lives are upended by a deadly Lalo.

Directed by Vince Gilligan with all the patience of Job, the violent showdown forces Saul and Kim's relationship to implode, and brings actual fear into the face of Gus Fring to a degree never seen before.

An hour of twisted irony and inevitable but thrilling farewells, Point and Shoot balances the seasons-long development of half a dozen characters with startling precision, and through Lalo allows each of his enemies to grow in heartbreaking ways, such as Kim realising she must escape her husband.

Take a look at Mike burying Lalo and Howard under Walter White's future superlab -- two diametrically opposed men lumped together by cruel fate -- and try to catch your breath before the next episode starts. You'll find it almost impossible.
