Rewatching.
I think the tequila stopper ties Kim to Saul's mansion.
Can you really imagine Kim living in a gaudy place like that? I highly doubt it. And if she lived there why were none of her things there. We saw a woman's thong and a package of Viagra. That's about the only evidence I saw that would indicate a woman ever set foot in that place.
Valid point, and I'm betting she probably doesn't live there. That said, she *does* seem to be fairly influential in shaping the Saul mystique. In these last two episodes she suggested Jimmy drive a car more befitting to Saul, and that he have a "cathedral of justice." Given that, I can see a situation in which she becomes some kind of "architect of Saul" the deeper she gets, and becomes more and more okay with all the gaudiness the more she "breaks bad." Again, I don't think it's likely, but it's not at all out of the realm of possibility.
But that's the entire premise of this show- a corrupt dude who thinks he's "doing the right thing" takes someone who truly does the right thing, and slowly corrupts them to the point of destroying them. We all wonder how these people "break bad"…..and now you've seen 2 if not 3 examples of that from both of these shows (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)
The show isn't just about Jimmy's journey to become Saul….it's just as much about Kim's downward spiral simply because of her love for Jimmy, which ultimately will end her.
That being said, I don't think Kim is at all in the Breaking Bad universe. Because she's gone- for whatever reason- Jimmy just goes full tilt into making as much money as he can and sleep with whoever he wants because he's trying to fill that void left by Kim. That opening sequence from the first episode is just showing how far he truly was able to go - and we never saw his house in Breaking Bad.
