Was just going to post this after watching.
Gould talking about left turns coming for the 2nd half - both him an Odenkirk talking about twists and turns while still having satisfying conclusions true to the different characters - could bode well that Kim does make it (would they really speak interms of 'satisfying' if Kim got killed?)
Random thought about the episode - at one point after Lalo's masterstroke to use the phone bug to his favor, Mike tells Gus we've pulled the protection from all the "low priority" targets, my first thought at the time was does that include his granddaughter - turns out it did include Jimmy and Kim. The fact that Mike considered/determined that Jimmy and Kim were "low priority" targets (after Mikes' earnest dicussion with Kim that she would be protected) ia what ultimately led to Howard's demise.
