Critics Consensus

Better Call Saul gifts viewers with a welcome hunk of Hank Schrader in an otherwise ominous chapter that illustrates how the forces of darkness are enclosing around Jimmy and Kim like ants on an ice cream.

3/5

If Kim leans on the law as armor, Jimmy approaches it as both obstacle and tool. But "The Guy for This" is pretty plain about their mutual epiphany that, whether you're heeding the call of Kevin Wachtell or Lalo Salamanca, "Once you're in, you're in."

There's a lovely Aristotelian unity of time to the structure of this episode, or at least until the last act.

A-

No discussion of this episode would be complete without an appreciation of that stellar closing sequence. From the cigarette to the dangled beer bottle to the six-pack discus-toss to the quick balcony exit, that's Better Call Saul at its absolute purest.

After years of wondering how exactly things would go down between Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) and Lalo (Tony Dalton), we finally got to see the two come face to face in Better Call Saul Season 5 Episode 3 -- and it was delightful.

5/5

There's an energy to bringing back such great characters, especially when they're used perfectly and it feels right. Hank and Gomez could have been shoehorned into the show at any point to make some noise, but here, it fits.

I'm sorry. I love this alpha blowhard. I'm glad he and Gomey were on the screen again.
