Amazing episode. In my headcanon, there's a prequel to Better Call Saul called Don't Drool on Huell, where Huell bonds with a troublesome dog, and this is what eventually leads him to the shady veterinarian and a life of crime. 😆

Let’s go! One of the best episodes of the series right here.

The sad thing about Chuck is he wasnt wrong. Everything he said about Jimmy during his breakdown was all true. But with Jimmy's brilliant move with the battery, he made Chuck sound insane. The only thing that isnt sane about Chuck is his illness. Its a manifestation of his issues with Jimmys past, hurting his family, and how he hasn't forgiven him for that. But even then, his illness may not be real, but his symptoms are so he isnt really "crazy" he has a psychosomatic illness, where your brain will literally make your body feel these real symptoms, even if the source is not real. I wish both of these McGills would take themselves down to family therapy and work their shit out, then we could all be happy, and no Saul Goodman, and none of the tragic events in Breaking Bad 😭

Great reaction! This is a brilliant episode but the crazy thing is as an electronic technician I always have to question it's premise. Even if Chuck's condition was real I don't think the battery would prove him wrong. For an electromagnetic field to be generated the electrons/current have to flow. A battery not hooked to a circuit/device won't generate anything. It would be more accurate if instead they left the battery in the cell phone and turned on. Hell depending on the design even if the cell phone was off it likely still had at least one active circuit.

Ehh, Chuck blames Jimmy for their dad's store going out of business but it was plainly demonstrated he was being bled dry by everyone who realized they just had sweet talk him. It's true Jimmy took money from the store but it was going to crash regardless because their dad couldn't say no. But Chuck projects that squarely on Jimmy

Right, but he still stole, which is a big deal. Regardless of what other people do, family stealing from family when hes already aware people come there for a handout? Yeah..... thats still messed up. Chuck has every right to hate Jimmy for that, the problem is they will not sit down and talk about these hurts and that results in this 😕

It's an anxiety related condition so whether Chuck's premise about the battery is accurate or not is irrelevant tho. The point is Chuck thinks it does.

"Go to therapy" is like the solution for everyone in the BB-verse lol.

This show is a great demonstration of how much stronger max charisma is than max intelligence.

It's not only Chuck's issues with Jimmy's past that are the culprit. His "condition" began immediately after his divorce. Chuck's struggles to maintain the few relationships that actually matter to him are the real trigger. They probably could benefit from some family therapy, but the real therapy Chuck needs is the kind his doctor tried to get Jimmy to force on him both times he ended up in the hospital.

Ehhh kind of but putting him in a facility like that is a bit too much. His condition stems purely from emotional issues in his relationships. Talking them through, while slowly putting himself out there in the world is the best way to challenge this imo

I like the intro scene where Chuck's lie about the electric company mixing up his address with another person's is also a reference to the address mix-up with Mesa Verde later on.
