This episode proves how hard and complex it is to take your time to develop a story arc over multiple seasons and how rewarding the final climax can be. Not only once was I a little annoyed by the slow burning of the "Jimmy & Chuck" story line. I found the "Mike & Gus" stuff from the last episodes a lot more interesting.
Man, was I wrong. After the last episode you wondered how Jimmy would weasel himself out of the mess. And then we finally witness how cleverly Jimmy turns his brother's trap against him. Thanks to Bob Odenkirk's portrayal we also see how it hurts him to destroy his brother in front of his boss and ex-wife.
For me the greatest revelation was the acting of Michael McKean. During Chuck's breakdown the camera moves closer and closer to the actor's face and he manages to hold the tension, every nuance is perfect and utterly believable. The best acting on TV I saw in a long time, absolutely award worthy.
