She tells Jimmy that they are bad for one another—that the chaos they've created together is too much for her conscience, despite having “the time of [her] life” doing it. She cancels her own law license, packs her bags, and leaves Saul for an unknown destination.
Neither was true. Monday's episode revealed that after breaking things off with Jimmy/Saul (Bob Odenkirk), Kim shockingly moved down to Florida to live out the rest of her days. Fans were relieved to learn that Wexler was alive. However, viewers learned Kim was far from happy.
Since Kim is not a character in Breaking Bad, some viewers have long assumed that she must die at some point between the pre–Breaking Bad events in Better Call Saul and Jimmy's transformation into Gene post-Saul.
Kim, the most talented lawyer you could ever have, has quit the bar and will no longer be practicing law. When a distraught Jimmy rushes home, he discovers she is leaving him. Her bags are already packed, and a later scene reveals Saul at some distant point in the future.
In the penultimate episode of Better Call Saul, which aired its finale on Monday, estranged spouses Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman—né James “Jimmy” McGill and later known as Gene Takovic—reunite to formally dissolve their marriage.
First, she told the bar she was no longer interested in her law career. Then, after realizing how detrimental their relationship is to the people around them, Kim broke up with Jimmy.
She stays home the next day to tend to Jimmy's wounds and help him cope with the trauma, but Jimmy opts to go to the courthouse for work instead. Kim returns to S&C, but her mind wanders, and she decides to quit on the spot, leaving Mesa Verde with S&C but taking her pro bono cases.
Most theories explaining why Kim Wexler doesn't appear in Breaking Bad involved some degree of retroactive explanation. If Kim died, someone would've needed a motivation to kill her. If Kim went to jail, Better Call Saul would've needed to explain why Jimmy got away with it.
A potential indicator of Kim Wexler's future is the color blue, which she wears repeatedly throughout Better Call Saul. Though the meaning behind color in Breaking Bad is wide open to interpretation, one possible reading of blue tones is purity and innocence - but always with tragic consequences.
Though Nacho never appears in Breaking Bad, Saul mentions him when Walter White and Jesse Pinkman kidnap and hold Saul at gunpoint to coerce him into representing Badger, who has been arrested for selling drugs. Believing Walt and Jesse were sent by Lalo he says in a panic, "It wasn't me, it was Ignacio!
Against his will, Nacho later became an informant to Gustavo Fring after being blackmailed by him. As his role in both the Cartel and Gus' drug operation began to amplify, Nacho became increasingly discouraged with the organizations as his affiliation with them put both his and his father's lives in danger.
While interesting and complete as individual characters, Jimmy and Kim really seem to complete each other — but you wouldn't exactly call their relationship "healthy." As Kim said herself, while they love each other, together they're "poison."
“It's super sad.” And by the way, she wants to set the record straight: “Kim did not write Chuck's letter.” Saul's writers confirmed to her that Jimmy's late brother really did write the letter Jimmy received after his death. It wasn't her character's invention, as some fans have theorized.
The stopper was a token of Jimmy and Kim's romance, something to allow Jimmy to remember his only companion during the worst times in his life as Saul. It's a beautiful symbol, one that audience members will remember long after the show's airing.
She tells Jimmy that they are bad for one another—that the chaos they've created together is too much for her conscience, despite having “the time of [her] life” doing it. She cancels her own law license, packs her bags, and leaves Saul for an unknown destination.
Vince revealed Lalo was only going to be mentioned in Breaking Bad as “a throwaway line,” as he didn't see the need to introduce him as a character.
Lalo Salamanca is one of the cartel's most feared members, known for his charm, strength, and business savvy. He is the nephew of Don Hector Salamanca and the cousin of Tuco Salamanca, who are prominent characters in both Better Call Saul and its father series Breaking Bad.
Jimmy and Kim share a few final scenes during the Better Call Saul series finale. The pair doesn't get a happy ending, but they leave things on a brighter note than before.
In this week's episode of Better Call Saul, “Fun and Games,” Kim Wexler broke things off with Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman.
This prompts Jimmy to destroy the letter and pretend he suffered a “momentary lapse of reason” due to job stress. The key, Jimmy realizes, is being terminated from his Santa Fe law firm for being a jerk rather than for malfeasance.
You can see the pain in her face when she realizes she has to leave Jimmy. The murder of Howard, which in reality, happened because of her and Jimmy, was the breaking point for Kim. She couldn't forget that night, even though Jimmy insisted she could. There were too many consequences for their actions.
Remember that Jimmy and Kim's plan has two stated goals: one is to humiliate Howard by framing him for “something unforgivable” and the other is to convince HHM and the Sandpiper residents to settle the case so that the elderly plaintiffs (and more importantly: Jimmy) can get the settlement money quicker.
Ken is conned by Jimmy and Kim into buying them shots of expensive tequila.
Hearing how deeply Jimmy's brother loved him perhaps struck a nerve that reminded Kim of the family connection she never experienced.
Chuck leaves most of his estate to his ex-wife, with only a $5,000 bequest to Jimmy, which is just enough to prevent him from contesting the will.
