BCS 1x05 - Fun Factoid: On the Insider podcast, Vince says Roland Jaycocks, the name of the Tony the Toilet Buddy inventor, is a shout out to the maiden name of his girlfriend Holly, “although she spells it differently." This marks the third appearance of Vince using this name. It also appears in Battle Creek (Erin Jacocks) and The X-Files (Dr. Henry Jacocks, ep. 9x18). Vince is known for including frequent references to Holly in his scripts. He referenced her in nearly every one of The X-Files episodes that he wrote, and made numerous nods to her in Breaking Bad. They’ve been together since 1991. (x)

Chronology of events between Stacey and Mike: Many have been confused about the looks Mike and Stacey exchanged at the end of 1x05, and how that fits within the story of 1x06. In collaboration with Brian on Twitter, here’s a timeline to help explain the sequence of events:

Mike avenges his son Matt by killing Hoffman and Fensky in Philly. 

Mike arrives in Albuquerque three months after Stacey and Kaylee had moved there. It’s the day after he murdered Hoffman and Fensky. 

Mike has a conversation in the backyard with Stacey about Matt’s final days and his “intense” phone call. Stacey is not satisfied with Mike's answer. She senses he's lying. 

Mike gets a job at parking lot. Stacey stonewalls him during this time, and doesn’t allow him to see Kaylee.

Mike makes regular visits outside her house to remind Stacey he's there for them. We see an example of this at the end of 1x05 where they stare each other down. 

Cops pick up Mike (end of 1x05).

Cops interrogate Mike. With Jimmy’s help, he pickpockets detective Abbasi’s notebook at the end of the interrogation.

Mike confronts Stacey about calling the cops. Mike learns that Stacey called them about the cash she discovered. Stacey thought it might help solve the Hoffman and Fensky murders, as well as Matt's murder. But her call is what caused the cops to turn their attention to Mike without Stacey realizing it.

Mike confesses the truth about his call with Matt and his role in the murders.

Can she live with it? All appears to be forgiven, given what we know from Mike and Kaylee's relationship in Breaking Bad.
