    first time viewing episode 3:'NACHO'>>
    I am trying to deconstruct this episode($7.99/mo sub),the first 5 minutes I didn't get,as i read these reviews,it was a flash forward teaser scene(?) where he is touching bases w/ his brother(also an attorney)for some help in what looks like he is being held on serious charges(not disclosed?)>>I think this episode far surpassed ep1 & ep2 despite the fact that Tuco does not appear(tried to refresh my memory viewing BB,s1,ep7('A No-Rough-Stuff-Type Deal')& s2,ep1['Seven Thirty-Seven'),which recounts the deaths of No-doz & Gonzo(arm got accidentally decapitated,bled to death),victims of Tuco's wrath(?);also,I finally get the incident w/ the body lying behind the dumpster & the Rolex watch(probably fake?);I assume this is a classic 'we found $50,000 in a paper sack,but we need your help to find the rightful owner' scam(but if Saul's beer drinking pal found that wallet,was that counterfeit money he discovered in it?).Saul planted a fake wallet in the alley?;also where he discovers the Kettlemen's in a tent above the house,& spills the laundry bag filled w/ millions;all in all I rate this a 10 out of 10,right up there in BB territory!
