B-
The last shot of the episode may not have had much of a payoff - we know Quinn's not going to die, and, even if we didn't, that would be the most infuriating way to kill of a well-liked character - but reuniting Carrie and Saul was immediately satisfying.

The actress Miranda Otto, unfortunately, is proving to be much less of a scene stealer than Nina Hoss's Astrid, whose endearing qualities grow with every episode. Go to Full Review Aaron Riccio Slant Magazine 11/02/2015
For a series about spies, there's practically no subtlety on display throughout "Better Call Saul." Go to Full Review Ethan Renner Baltimore Sun 11/02/2015
After several weeks of breathtaking cliffhangers, there was a bit of a lull in that department here. Still, with Quinn's state and the intrigue of Saul and Carrie working together again, there was more than enough here to leave us wanting more. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 11/02/2015
4/5
I'm glad they're depicting [Quinn's] bullet wound for what it is, since he really should have been dead when Carrie shot him in the woods. He's not invincible. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
