History Recap / BetterCallSaulS4E7SomethingStupid

* ArtisticLicense: Kai is seen playing the pinball machine "[[Pinball/HighSpeed The Getaway: High Speed II]]", the sound effects of which are dubbed over to make it sound like an older machine [[PacManFever of the kind most people are familiar with]] (ringing bell, etc.). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjVAHirETxs This]] is what the machine is supposed to sound like.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Gus, ever determined to make Hector suffer, personally intervenes in his recovery by encouraging Dr. Bruckner to return to her clinic and delegate Hector's care to someone else, despite her objections that with her therapy, [[ForWantOfANail Hector may learn to talk and even walk again]]. Gus has effectively ensured that Hector will forever remain a prisoner in his own body.

* Berserk: Kim gives the ADA a DeathGlare when the latter describes Jimmy as a "scumbag disbarred lawyer".

* DramaticIrony:
** Jimmy discourages Huell from becoming a fugitive and living in fear that he will be captured over a minor slip-up. That is exactly the kind of situation Jimmy will find himself in as "Gene from Omaha", in large part because Huell flips on Saul and Walt when Hank, Gomez, and Jesse trick him.
** Hector's nurses begin to communicate to him by having him tap his finger on the desk to prove his cognizance, obviously calling to mind the bell Hector is so well-known for later in his life.

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Gus decides to end Hector's treatment when he realizes he can condemn Hector to [[AndIMustScream permanent paralysis]]. Maureen Bruckner is mystified, and argues that Hector may be able to make a full recovery. But Gus brings up that her clinic is nearly complete, invoking both his financial strings and the opportunity to treat many more patients with the new clinic. Maureen still gives him a look of disbelief to conclude the scene. What she cannot possibly realize is that Gus, underneath the BitchInSheepsClothing and VillainWithGoodPublicity, is actually a {{Sadist}} who wants Hector to suffer as much as possible.

** Huell tells Jimmy he'll take his chances with a warrant being put out for him after not showing up for court. It is TruthInTelevsion that many people charged with crimes make that dice roll. But Jimmy is also correct in telling Huell that it tends to only compound an accused's legal problems in the long run.

* ThemeSongReveal: [[Music/FrankSinatra Frank Sinatra's]] "Somethin' Stupid" plays during the opening montage. It signals that every scene thereafter is going to involve characters either doing something stupid or saying something stupid.

* MeaningfulName: Werner points out to Mike that has last name, Ehrmantraut, combines German words that translate to "World" and "Strength". Seems very fitting for a BadAssOldGuy like Mike.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Werner acknowledge to Mike that Kai has attitude problems, but insists that Kai must stay on the crew as he's the best demolition man that Werner has.
