Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 63 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT An Airbag Saved My Life

And if you're confused about who would want to cut off of your head and hang you from a bridge -- which again, what are the choices that have led to this point; what, do you recap Doctor Who that you have pissed off people that much? -- well, luckily your finer decapitators have a calling card. Such as a .357 shell with the letters LC sharpied onto it. LC for El Culebra, "The Snake," just like AMC, or LG: Another nickname Eduardo Hierra has earned besides Lalo.
So not only does Lalo have that evidence to be stressed about -- plus of course whatever it was about the corporate culture of the underworld that made him decide decapitating and hanging dozens of people from bridges was the cost of doing business in the first place, which I would imagine is pretty stressful -- now he also has Tomas Y. Ruiz in the courtroom with him. Both Dolan and Alicia are plenty relieved by the amount of fear on Lalo's face when they walk in, as opposed to Tomas and his family, but then, the amount of skin they have in this game is zero point zero zero.
SWEET F/A
Marilyn: "Eli and I are here to negotiate the governor's visit to the firm, which seems to be going well. Do you mind if I eat a pumpkin pop-tart? It's like my whole personality."
Alicia: "Which you'd think would be an improvement. Now, what's this about telling me and my husband what we can and can't do?"
Eli: "Is this really a law firm or are you making some kind of app?"
Marilyn: "I just don't want Peter to have his picture taken here and you can't be sending out press releases about his visits and shit like that."
Alicia: "So basically you just wanted to underline that you think I'm an opportunistic pig, by telling me basic shit that should go without saying."
Marilyn: "What else do I ever do? Besides barf and eat pumpkin foods, because I am the worst."
Alicia: "How is this a fucking full-time job? Anyway, suck a dick as usual. You will not be policing the boundaries of my relationship with my husband. I've already got every member of both our families on that beat."
Natalie arrives with the news that Lalo jumped bail and flew to Nuevo Laredo, then leaves, as Eli goes abruptly nuts. Once she's gone -- since Tomas doesn't have to testify anymore, everything is over -- he breaks free of a seemingly legitimately worried Marilyn and runs downstairs and onto Grand Ave. He goes this way and that! He cannot find her; he whines like a hound. Finally giving up, he heads back toward the factory, and bumps right into her.
