Something some people miss about 608 "Point and Shoot."

I've seen some valid criticism about the episode, mainly regarding Lalo's death. I agree that it was predictable, even though that fact doesn't bother me, I can see why it's a problem for others. But one criticism that I think is misplaced is about Lalo's decision to allow Gus to go on talking for so long. This actually isn't a forced contrivance, Lalo had faked his own death without telling anyone except Hector and was plotting to kill Gus, likely the cartel's biggest earner. Don Eladio might not be so pleased about Lalo doing all this just to prove Gus had a hole in the ground. He was hiding it, yes, but that might not warrant taking him out. So Lalo let's Gus rant for a bit, get him on video saying how much he hates them Salamancas and is planning on getting revenge on the entire cartel. That video would have saved Lalo from any scrutiny from the cartel.
