When you think of the lives that Barry has ruined, a few main victims come to mind.

Maybe its because while theyve been on largely good terms, theyre not one of the shows core relationships.

After learning about Barrys cooperation with the feds, he and Cristobal are moving forward with organizing a hit.

He assures Hank that the hit will be done by two podcasting brothers later that day.

This episode has two major culminations: the relationship-based character climax and the action-packed plot climax.

This may be a high-stakes crime story, but its also coming down to a friend breakup.

The whole sequence leaves Barry alone and armed, freeing him to escape.

If this is already the end of Barrys jail stay, it feels a tad rushed.

Its not entirely wrong, of course.

It can begoodto get in touch with the ugliest versions of ourselves.

Kristen understandably gets upset, but it lets her unlock something real that eluded her before.

Shes starting to see that now, especially with a murder under her belt.

Its not just that he kills people; its that he ruins even the ones who survive.

Hes a corrupting force, infecting everyone he sees with his black soul.

And his victims arent just the Sallys and Genes and Jims.

Bullet Points

Ive had many cases like this, but I cant talk about them.

Theyre really disturbing, and I just dont like thinking about them.

Toro takes it personally, pointing out that they include YouTube links to see the visuals.

The timing is what makes it perfect.

Jim does check that Lon wont be speaking normally for a while, let alone reporting on Barry.

He can even speak German fluently now, a final joke that might be alittletoo absurd for the scene.

But its fun to finally see Patrick Fischler really let loose.

Why dont you enjoy hell, you murdering, self-centered, lying, fucking narcissistic piece of shit?
