** Jeff speeding away in his taxi and crashing into a parked car in plain sight after seeing a parked police car behind him. Did he do it on purpose to create a distraction that would allow Gene to escape the scene (similar to how Walt intentionally crashed his car with Hank inside to avoid driving him to the meth lab), or did Jeff see the car behind him, assumed they were here to arrest him, and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere sped away in a panic]], [[EpicFail crashing his car by accident?]]

** After he's confronted by Marion, Gene Viktor pulls out the telephone's cord. Was he seriously considering killing her, or was it just him trying to drive home how she shouldn't contact the authorities?



** After sinking lower than ever before in [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS6E11BreakingBad the previous episode by insisting on robbing a kindly cancer patient]], Gene goes even further down when said cancer patient wakes up just before he can exit his house. With the mark sitting down on the staircase, blocking Gene's only exit, Gene is seconds away from braining him with an urn containing ''the ashes of his deceased dog''... only for the mark to fall back asleep, still under the influence of the barbiturate drugging.
** Falls ''even further'' at the end of the episode, when Marion catches on to who Gene really is and tries to contact the authorities. Gene pulls the phone cord out of the wall so she can't call the police, and even starts moving towards her with the apparent intent of strangling her with it for a moment. Just before he yanks the [=LifeAlert=] dongle away from her, he realizes that he's gone too far, allowing her to contact the authorities and running away, but the fact that he was even thinking about it shows how evil he's become.
* NightmareFuel: When Gene realizes Marion is on to him, his glasses flash with color upon seeing his old advert, the only color seen in the present Omaha scenes up to now. This along with his facial expression of discontent indicates he's enraged, and he accordingly threatens Marion right after. While he doesn't go through with it, the fact "Gene" is about to attempt homicide, on an elderly person no less, illustrates just how far he's fallen.
* TearJerker: Jimmy's "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" moment when Marion tells him that she trusted him as he tried to murder her earlier. You can tell that Jimmy realized he almost crossed Heisenberg-levels of evil by the look on his face as a terrified Marion tells the [=LifeAlert=] operator that wanted criminal Saul Goodman is in her kitchen.
