In the fun and games episode, Hector gets eladio’s room, but bolsa also seems to stay overnight. So where do he and eladio sleep? 👀

Just a thing I wrote a few months ago (may as well post it):

Something I think about a lot is how much I found Hector to be the absolute worst in all of Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul. He was a character I utterly despised- and so given the opportunity in BCS to see more of him and to see how hated he was by others, and then to see him almost taken down, and then propped back up by Gus for what is maybe a masterclass in the art of revenge—well….

I’m just remembering watching the episode after Lalo’s death, a triumph for Gus, and feeling dumbfounded at my own reaction- that I could find heartbreak and pity for Hector who is surrounded by enemies (Eladio, Bolsa, and Gus), and idiots (his nephews) and he will never know what happened to Lalo and neither will any of them, save Gus, and it’s Hector’s one tragic moment - the one who loves him and could speak for him is gone and the helplessness as he’s carried off, ringing his bell, and everyone is already tired of him….

But then again- we are never given the opportunity to know the reality of Hector and Lalo’s relationship. There seems to be an accord and respect, from Lalo’s perspective. But had Hector not been impaired how would he have treated Lalo?

based on real life events😔
