IMO She's taking advantage of Mike. So you believe Stacy thinks he's able to support himself and give her all of this money from a minimum wage toll booth job? She knows he is doing something for the extra money, especially after Mike's confession about his past to her. She goes on about her money woes to him, asking him if she could use the envelope of cash and then letting him know "it's just a drop in the bucket", telling him there's gunshots outside the house when it was clearly showed there weren't any. Her sketchy absolutely adamant refusal for him to stay the night...if she were that scared why would she be so against him staying the night, one night? Because she knew if he stayed the night he wouldn't hear any gunshots. She did that to get him to pay for a better place. It is so obvious I can't understand how anyone can't see what she was doing. I think the show sets up subtle tells on this. It's a complex situation where Stacy was not looking for Mike to show up, but once he did she transitions into "gently" using Mike. Mike sees it for what it is and consents to be part of it for two reasons: -of course he is all-in for loving & supporting his granddaughter Kaylee -he also feels guilt for the loss of Matty and therefore feels responsible to look after his family

IMO Stacy is not using Mike, I think she is suffering from PTSD, and really believes that there are gunshots and that she needs to get out of that house.

No time like the present 😀 i imagine being familiar with this show will add a ton of extra appeal, I'd just do it.

I am kicking myself over not getting past season 2 of Breaking Bad, and how I wished you had reacted to it back in the day. I miss some of the references you make, especially when these 2 shows will intersect at some point.
