(At least, that was my reading of it.) With his death confirmed, Lalo can take his time. On escaping the bloodbath he visits a family friend and cajoles him into shaving off his beard, before killing him so he can double as his corpse on the crime scene. Having survived his assassination attempt, the inexorable Lalo (Tony Dalton) appears to be of the mind that revenge is a dish best served cold.

From there, Nacho begins several days of increasing paranoia, and with good reason. Nacho finally holes up in the decrepit Motel Ocotillo after bundling over a wall and taking silent receipt of some keys from a landlady who’s seen it all before and has a creaking rocking chair.

We know he’s actually being chased by the man himself. He thinks he’s hiding from the responsibility of killing Lalo Salamanca.

Nacho Varga (Michael Mando) is as on the run as a man can be: literally dashing for miles through the scrub to try to escape the consequences of his actions. We’ll get to Jimmy and Kim soon enough but, in these opening episodes, the heat is to be found in the desert.
