Oh yeah, she’s the show’s biggest Darwin award recipiant to be sure.
Ding Dong
Opens door to a complete stranger
“Who are you?”
Oh, I’m a friend to your ex-boyfriend, the one caught up in the drug business that has been in the news a lot lately with all of the murders and stuff. We found Jessie, he’s in that sketchy looking car parked down the street in the shadows. He can’t come to the door personally because he’s too shy.
Oh, really? Sure, I’ll unlock my door and step out into the night for you Mr. stranger. I’m just a single mom that grew up in the bad part of town, I certainly shouldn’t know any better.

I don’t know if they knew Jesse was caught up in this. Nobody was talking about him in all the broadcasts and news clippings that Walter had cut up… it was just all “Walter White” and “Heisenberg.” Gomey and Hank had kept Jesse pretty isolated and secret, and Andrea knew that Jesse had hung around with sketchy people and probably thought he’d relapsed. She probably just thought he was high or hung over or something and was embarassed to be seen like that.
I don’t think she realized she was in a TV show. That would have been a big clue.

Yeah, and it bugged me that they didn’t even have to convince her of something so ridiculous for the scene to work, anyway…once she opened the door enough so that the shooter could see there were no witnesses in the living room, he could have shot her right there and Jesse would still have seen. She didn’t actually have to come all the way out onto the porch. In fact, the scene would have worked better for me if I didn’t feel like I was having to suspend too much disbelief at that moment.
And, it would have been easier to close the door and walk away, instead of leaving a bloody corpse on the porch or taking the time (and drawing attention) by hauling it back in.

I have to say, I loved this episode, even though it didn’t exactly pan out the way I thought things were going to. I was expecting Walt to spend 6-7 months in isolation, and come to a great realization and turn himself around. But that appears to not be how shit is gonna go down. And that’s cool, I love when the show takes a turn that I didn’t expect.
I cannot imagine a “Better Call Saul” that doesn’t include Huell. He was a pretty important part of Saul’s business. Maybe we find out how Saul and Huell meet?
riiiight - a very good example of what I was saying, that this episode was clunky. Seriously? Some of it was the writing and some the direction, too - I think even with the way it was written it could have worked if the acting, camera work, and editing had been more clever.
