This hammers home that despite their differences, Kim has never been far from his thoughts. Jimmy’s Tigerfish Corporation is a nod to the USS Tigerfish from Ice Station Zebra, which happens to be Kim's favorite movie. The shell companies used to hide his illicit funds are Saul Goneman, with one being an Easter egg to Kim. Up there with Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn is one of the show’s biggest assets, and with Kim sitting out Breaking Bad, many feared she’d go the way of Nacho and Lalo before Better Call Saul's final credits roll.įrancesca warns that the entire heat of the Breaking Bad saga is now on Gene’s head. Francesca simply says, “Skyler White got her deal,” and then adds, “The only ones left to go after are you and Pinkman.' Solving the Kim Wexler Mysteryįinding out about Walt’s wife and low-level grunts is all well and good, but the big reveal comes from confirmation Kim Wexler is alive and well in the Cinnabon Gene timeline. As part of Walt’s redemptive arc, he gave his estranged wife the GPS coordinates to the bodies of Hank and Gomez, as well as where he hid his blue meth fortune. This 101 of Breaking Bad characters is more than just closure, as it teases that we're really heading to the end of Saul Goodman's story.įor those wondering what happened to Skyler White (Anna Gunn), Francesca confirms she made good on the get-out-of-jail-free card Walt left her with. When Gene asks for updates on Lazer Base owner Danny Wormald (Mark Proksch) and Vamonos Pest’s Ira (Franc Ross), Francesca delivers a sniping, 'They have Internet where you are?' He also wants to know what happened to Huell’s BFF Patrick Kuby (Bill Burr), but she said she has “no idea” after he was hired to track down Jesse in Breaking Bad. “DEA held him under false pretences or something. 'I guess back home in New Orleans,” she says. It’s a running joke among the show’s community that Huell is still there, but according to Francesca, he got his happy ending. Hank and his partner would never return - with the pair being brutally gunned down by Jack the neo-Nazi. The last we saw of Huell, he was waiting in a DEA safe house for the return of Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) and Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada).

Arguably, there are much bigger stories at play here thanks to the second half of the episode. Similar to the El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’s diner scene, where Walter White appeared in a flashback, the pair are only there to join the dots between the two shows.

As Better Call Saul has never been about Jesse and Walt, it makes sense that their cameos are just that. It was during Saul's Breaking Bad debut that the two villains were first mentioned - despite never appearing physically on the series.
