![]() ![]() She visits Howard's grieving widow Cheryl Hamlin (Sandrine Holt) and presents her with the same confession to give her some sense of closure even though she knows Cheryl could sue her for everything she's worth in civil court. What she does next is arguably her most selfless act of the entire Better Call Saul series. With the confidence of a woman tired of living a past lie that continues to consume her present, she flies back to Albuquerque to submit a written confession of how Howard Hamlin really died and her involvement to the Bernalillo County district attorney's office. Little did he know, he gave Kim the answer to the silent torment she'd been living with since leaving him and could spell the end of his freedom. To her visible surprise, all these years haven't chipped away at the hardened criminal shell of Saul Goodman that encases the kind-hearted Jimmy McGill she fell in love with when Saul berates her and retorts how she should, in fact, turn herself in for her past misdeeds. That is until she gets her first call from Saul since they split six years earlier, looking to catch up and gloat about his years of arrest evasion before Kim's conscience inspires her to advise Saul to turn himself in to the police. She replaced the rush for hatching illicit schemes with Saul with making tuna sandwiches with Miracle Whip because of her boring new boyfriend Glen's (Alvin Cowan) loyalty to the out-of-stock Duke's Mayonnaise. In two of the last three episodes - "Breaking Bad" and "Waterworks"- we find out Kim left the perpetual specter of murder and duplicity that followed her in Alberquerque for the slow-paced life of Titusville, Florida. But more importantly, she leaves Saul because the two of them together are "poison." To seemingly cement Kim's removal from Better Call Saul, the episode ends with Saul sitting in the office we first were introduced to in Breaking Bad. Kim no longer could use her skills at fact manipulation and stonefaced deception to cover up after lying in the face of Howard's widow about him being a drug addict as an explanation for his death. Two episodes later, in the episode "Fun and Games," after Saul and Kim try to live normal lives after watching Lalo kill Howard in front of them and then forcing Kim to attempt an assassination on Gus, Kim rescinds her law license, packs her stuff, and leaves Saul. He may have been intentionally vague, but he wasn't lying. I will say her fate is not completely ambiguous." We have a lot of territory to cover in the next few episodes. ![]() “These people live in a very dangerous world, and Kim’s a super complicated person. At the Tribeca Film Festival screening of the Season 6 midseason premiere episode "Point and Shoot," Better Call Saul's cryptic co-creator Peter Gould explained why there would be no ambiguity with Kim's fate. What Happens To Kim Wexler In The Breaking Bad Timeline?Įver since she came into our lives with her slick back ponytail, piercing blue eyes, and deceptively robotic regularity of doing everything right, fans have been deeply invested in what happens to Kim. Gould told Entertainment Weekly, "I don't think you're going to look at Breaking Bad the same way again after you've seen this whole season." We've seen it all in Better Call Saul, but now it's time to see how it finds its way into the Breaking Bad timeline that created it. Unfortunately, his crooked road to becoming a lawyer is a treacherous one that leads him to do the Mexican cartel's bidding, whether that means bringing bail money from the desert or bending the law to free nefarious criminals. He dates and then (strategically) marries fellow lawyer Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), who is arguably the most intriguing character in the entire show. He becomes Saul Goodman as a way to escape the smothering shadow of his deceased brother and esteemed lawyer Charles McGill (Michael McKean). In Better Call Saul, the Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad starts as a duplicitous lawyer with a heart of gold known as Jimmy McGill. So, after five remarkable seasons, the pair make their debuts, but the timelines merge thanks to characters you may have forgotten. Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould already confirmed America's favorite meth lab coworkers, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), would be reprising their Breaking Bad roles this season. ![]() Ever since AMC announced a spinoff series centered on Breaking Bad's grifter of a lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), two and a half weeks before Breaking Bad's final episode aired in September 2013, we've all been waiting to see when and how the Better Call Saul timeline will mix with the Breaking Bad timeline.
