INITIAL REACTIONS:

Does Kim Wexler think that Jimmy McGill is weak?
Was this episode lighter due to the heartbreak of the last episode?
This episode saw the return of Wendy and Spooge from Breaking Bad!
We see Kim and Mike Ehrmantraut meet for the first time!
This episode is directed by Rhea Seehorn (Kim Wexler)!
Rachael briefly thought there was a possibility that Ignacio "Nacho" Varga survived the last episode!
Does Nacho's death leave a void in the series?
Betsy Kettleman was right, Jimmy is the kind of lawyer guilty people hire!
What kind of asshole moves a cone?!

FULL BREAKDOWN: HIT AND RUN

Can we please get an Emmy for Rhea Seehorn?
How long has Gustavo Fring been preparing this secret tunnel?
The Rymans, played by Kirk & Joni Bovill, are a couple in real life!
Continuing the theme of "integrated" couples (real-life and on the show), the song playing during The Rymans' bike ride is sung by The Dreamliners, who were one of the first integrated bands in the 1960s!
Is Gus irritated by his protective measures: the bulletproof vest & ankle holster?
Is Eduardo "Lalo" Salamanca going to seek out Werner Ziegler's men?
Both Lalo & Nacho are mentioned, for the first time, in the same Breaking Bad scene.
Will there be more spin-offs set in the Breaking Bad universe?
This is the first episode where we hear about Howard Hamlin's home life and that he has a wife.
Does revealing Howard's broken marriage highlight the compounding damage Jimmy & Kim intended to inflict upon him by integrating prostitutes into their schemes?
To that effect, Wendy returns to take part in Jimmy & Kim's grand plan.
Sherrandy: Kim is wearing a very Lalo-esque shirt.
Is there anything Jimmy and Kim won't do to Howard?
Might Kim stop or pump the breaks on their schemes in light of Cliff Main's generous offer?
Would Jimmy accelerate their grand plan if Kim decides to back away from it?
How does Jimmy mend his working relationships at the courthouse before Breaking Bad?
Did ADA Suzanne Ericsen spread the rumor in the courthouse that Jimmy knew De Guzman was Lalo when he was fooling the court into getting him off?
Will there be consequences for Ericsen's actions?
Is everyone else in the courthouse disappointed that he lied or furious that he got away with it?
It turns out that the notebook with the coded messages found during the opening sequence in the season premiere might be Kim's, as we see her with it in upcoming scenes for the next episode.
The Contract Counsel Administrator is played by Nadine Marissa, who plays Nabila on The Walking Dead!
Will Kim ever quit and walk away from this life, or will she be sucked in further?
Does Kim feel as though Jimmy cannot handle knowing that Lalo is alive?
At what point do you think Jimmy fully embraces Saul Goodman?
Considering the time period (2004), flat screen monitors were rare and expensive. Just another example of how wealthy Fring really was to have several of them in his monitoring station.
Why did they leave Michael Mando's name in the credits (taunting Rachael)?
Will we see a Nacho flashback before the season comes to a close?
Do Jimmy & Kim want Howard to discover their plot?
