I think Jimmy betrays her to save himself. I think the Kim is dead or leaves Jimmy possibilities are almost a little too obvious.
The tail at the end of episode 2 might be introducing the storyline that leads to that.

Good question, because I don't remember either.
One thing though. In the Gene timeline, it seems like he more fears that someone is coming to kill him rather than coming to arrest him. Like when he thought the guy at the mall was staring at him.
And if you call that number, the "out of service" voice sure sounds like Bob Odenkirk.

It's not a "crazy theory" as you state multiple times. It's completely asinine and only someone who's had major head trauma would think it's in any way plausible or possible. That's worse than the "Kim turns into Wendy the hooker in Breaking Bad" nonsense that's been put out there a few times over the years. Unless Gilligan & Gould actually started using meth there is no way this take could ever be true. You should ban yourself until after the BCS finale at which time you would be required to issue a written apology to everyone on the board that had to read your posts.
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)TCTTS said:Quote:Quote:

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.
Forgot about all that, you right.Know Your Enemy said:Stat Monitor Repairman said:

That's not accurate though. Jesse bailed on him in BB but went back to him in El Camino. He had to pay for both of them though. And he was going to help Gene disappear again in BCS after the cabbie recognized him. He tells Gene the pickup point will be at the same place he was dropped off before Gene says to forget about it when he decides to handle the problem himself.

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.

I don't know who you're arguing with, but it ain't me. I agree with everything you're saying, and nothing I said negates any of this.

A thought I had was that Saul betrays Kim in some way. Like perhaps it is between his client and hers. And he does something that causes her to lose (maybe to protect himself, Lalo, Gus, or whoever) , and she doesn't know it. Then later she finds out and leaves him. And that is when he has gone "full Saul".

Yeah, I started to read that last night thinking it was about last week's episode and was confused. Once I realized what it really was I immediately deleted the browser. Thankfully I didn't see any real spoilers or I would have been pissed.Complete Idiot said:
Looks like Entertainment Weekly accidentally put out an episode 3 review a bit early - the link is deleted but Google still has it cached.

Removing thread from watchlist now. Will add it back after tonight's episode. This is the way.Complete Idiot said:

They basically said they didn't want to have to lie or evade the inevitable questions they get asked every season about those two showing up in BCS.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Apparently they were ultra secretive and flew Cranston/Paul into ABQ without anyone knowing.
Really wonder why they decided to let the cat out of the bag about their appearance in the season right before airing.
