FACEBOOK

The last episode of "Better Call Saul" saw a big chunk of time spent exploring the details of the life and death of Matt, the son of Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks).

The show's upcoming episode titled "Bingo" is set to air next Tuesday, March 16, at 10/9c on AMC. The spoilers include a super cheesy scene involving Mike.

In the last episode titled "Five-O," Mike was shown meeting his daughter-in-law Stacey (Kerry Condon) as he arrived in Albuquerque. She confided to him that she thought her dead husband Matt was involved in illegal dealings. But Mike said this was not true.

Then there was a time jump several months into the future and two police officers were seen questioning Mike about his son Matt's death and the subsequent murder of two other cops – Hoffman (Lane Garrison) and Fenske (Billy Malone).

Mike then asked for his lawyer Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) to be present. Mike earlier instructed Jimmy to spill coffee on the detectives while talking to them so that he could steal their notes. However, Jimmy at first refused to do it but eventually did it. Mike pretended to help the officers clean up the mess as he stole their notepad. On reading the notes, Mike found out that Stacey had called the police with information on her husband Matt.

This led Mike to confront Stacey who revealed that he had found a bag of money in their house and thought Matt was dirty. This angered Mike who defended his son, yelling at Stacey for even thinking that her husband was a crooked.

It was then revealed that Mike had figured out that Hoffman and Fenske were behind his son's murder. Pretending to be drunk, Mike confronted the two who took him into an alley and propped him up near a wall. While Hoffman and Fenske how they were going to kill Mike, the latter pulled a gun and shot both of them.

At the end of the episode, Mike told Stacey that Matt was not dirty, narrating to her the circumstances leading to Matt's death. He said Matt was offered money stolen from a drug bust and his son turned to him for advice. Mike said he convinced Matt not to turn the dirty cops in and take the money instead. But when Hoffman and Fenske handed Matt the money, Matt hesitated. His hesitation made Hoffman and Fenske believe that Matt couldn't be trusted and they killed him. Mike said he made his son disgrace himself for nothing.

Stacey then asked Mike who killed Hoffman and Fenske. Mike told her she knew, but the real question was if she could live with that.
