Kim goes to a meeting with Howard and Rebecca (Chuck's ex) in Jimmy's place. She doesn't tell Jimmy she went. Howard wants Jimmy to accept a nominal amount of money in exchange for backing off and not contesting Chuck's will. Kim sees right through the ploy and tells Howard to back off and stay away from Jimmy. Kim does not tell Jimmy about the meeting.

Nacho and Arturo go to pick up some more heroin from Gus and his men. Arturo gets killed by Gus's men after he pushes things a little too far. Nacho gets a stern warning from Gus who reveals that he knows what Nacho did to Hector.

Thoughts

Gus wanted to be the one to kill Hector. He unhappy to have lost that opportunity. He wants to see Hector returned to health so that he can truly make Hector suffer. This is some twisted and egotistical reasoning.

Someone upgrades the medical care that Hector is getting. Gus? Probably but it isn't clear just yet.

Jimmy maintains a fairly low profile after the first ten minutes of this episode. Kim and Nacho get the best moments. She is trying to protect Jimmy. Will it come back to bite her if he finds out? It looks like Nacho has just dug himself a really big hole. Gus is not his friend.

This was a really good episode. What an ending. I am totally on board for more.
