It's worth using a silencer to avoid damaging anyone's hearing. People might think a suppressed gunshot was from a TV.

Lalo recognized Mike with the security at the laundromat. That might be related to his decision to visit Jimmy.

Gus doesn't need to be a "reliable source" regarding Nacho. If he can anonymously transmit the information to the Salamancas, Nacho is toast.

Killing off Chuck, Nacho & Howard would make Kim's death less impactful. She's not in Breaking Bad, so her fleeing via the vacuum guy seems most likely.

I found the episode somewhat unsatisfying to be honest. I don't think Kim's motivation were adequately made it clear. Months of preparation work, sacrificing a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity to do meaningful legal work (backed by a grant) . . . for what? To take down Howard, whose biggest crime is what exactly? I expected E07 to reveal more of Kim's drive; maybe she didn't tell Jimmy about Lalo still being alive because she was scheming to throw hapless Jimmy under the bus (and take the cartel legal business for herself)? Separately -and this is a minor point- once Lalo observed Gus' troops spring to action after his traced call, he had all the evidence he needed to inform the cartel that Gus was planning to compete against them. But in fairness, maybe Lalo thought it worthwhile to get additional details from Jimmy before doing so.
