Kim cries when Jimmy reads Chuck's letter in Better Call Saul Season 4, Episode 3, because she's overwhelmed by the depth of Jimmy's emotional numbness and the tragic loss of Chuck, seeing the raw pain and manipulation beneath the surface that Jimmy is masking with callousness, which confirms their deep-seated issues and her own complicity in destroying Chuck. She realizes the profound damage Chuck's death has done, recognizing her own guilt and the widening emotional chasm between her and Jimmy, feeling they've lost something irreplaceable.
To see that it was NOT the letter she expected was a massive relief that unleashed the flood gates. It had been a horrific few years. So when the flood gates opened, she was crying for ALL that had happened.
Yes, Kim loves Jimmy, but she's also very much her own woman, driven by her own ambition and fierce intelligence. Her ``I save me'' speech was one of the highlights of Season 2. And, as we've seen in the episodes since, Jimmy would have been much better off if he had believed her.
It's because Jimmy's tears are insincere. He's faking, to get Chuck into trouble. In the past, whenever Jimmy's made a move like this, there's been some evidence of a strategy behind it.
She doesn't want others to clean up for her. She feels guilt and shame because of that. Kim got to finally 'clean up' by coming clean about Howard's death and she 'washed' herself with her tears.
She is tragic for several reasons: She is shown to have had a strained relationship with her neglectful mother as a kid. Her mother essentially encouraged her rebellious and unprincipled behavior, with Kim essentially having to build her own sense of right and wrong from scratch.
And that's the central question “Better Call Saul” has left to answer: What happens to Kim Wexler? She's never mentioned on “Breaking Bad;” it's not like Saul Goodman ever refers to her, or even seems to have any connection to her whatsoever.
An insincere display of grief, as in When the play's star broke her leg, her understudy wept crocodile tears. This term comes from the mistaken notion that crocodiles weep while eating their prey, one held in ancient Roman times.
While Jimmy tries to generate income so he and Kim can keep their shared office, Kim takes on a second client. Rushing to a meeting after little sleep, she crashes her car and breaks her arm.
“The sunshine of my life” were the words that Jimmy Stewart often used to describe his wife of 45 years, Gloria Hatrick McLean. The beloved Hollywood star adored his bride from the very moment he met her and continued to love her until the very end of his life.
So when Saul got his original deal for Prison, they said they were willing to make a 1 time deal of 30 years, he then had them down to 7 years. But ended up getting 86 years.
All the things people like Chuck and Howard tried to discredit Jimmy for are injustices she feels like she's also had to face in her own past. Therefore she stays with Jimmy because she feels as though she's standing up for people with situations like hers when she was growing up.
However, at the time the series begins, Chuck has become a recluse, believing that he suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity. He was amicably divorced from Rebecca Bois, who is unaware of his psychosomatic illness, a few years before the events of Better Call Saul.
Kim and Jimmy got married in 2004, with Kim also becoming Jimmy's confidant to gain spousal privilege. Despite Kim and Jimmy's unconditional love for each other, Kim left him and Albuquerque after one of their schemes went horribly wrong, causing her to believe that they were bad for everyone around them.
Chuck is routinely shown hiding under mylar space blankets because he believes he has electromagnetic hypersensitivity, a controversial condition that has been thoroughly studied and shown to be psychogenic.
Crocodile tears syndrome, also known as Bogorad syndrome, is a disorder marked by the shedding of tears while eating, chewing, smelling, or drinking in patients recovering from facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) injury.
The phrase “crocodile tears” has long been used to describe fake or insincere emotions, drawing on the ancient belief that crocodiles weep while eating their prey — as if overcome with remorse. But while crocodiles do shed tears, it's not out of sorrow.
The most prominent LGBT character in Breaking Bad is Gus Fring, confirmed by creators to be gay, with his deep, romantic relationship with his deceased partner Max Arciniega being central to his backstory and motivation, revealed through flashbacks and creator statements. While Gus showed subtle interest in a male sommelier, the show often coded his sexuality through his profound grief and loyalty to Max, a theme explored further in the prequel Better Call Saul.
There's no single "saddest" death, as fans debate between Jane Margolis, Gale Boetticher, Andrea Cantillo, Hank Schrader, and Nacho Varga (from Better Call Saul), often citing the innocence lost, the brutality, or the impact on Jesse Pinkman, but Gale's death stands out for his pure nature, while Jane's and Andrea's are heartbreaking due to their connection to Jesse and their potential unrealized.
Lalo Salamanca was first mentioned in Breaking Bad, but the character was not developed until Better Call Saul. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould originally planned to introduce Lalo earlier in Better Call Saul, but his debut was delayed so the writers could craft him as a distinctive foil to Gus Fring.
I don't want to hurt your feelings... but the truth is you've never mattered all that much to me. Chuck's last words to Jimmy, refusing to forgive him. Dear Jimmy, I have left many things unsaid in our relationship through the years.
He confesses to enabling Walt and admits his role in Chuck's suicide. He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul.
He also knows Ernie is loyal to Jimmy because Ernie lied about calling Jimmy after Chuck hit his head (and Chuck knew instantly Ernie was lying for him, it was written all over his face), so it wouldn't be a stretch for Chuck to assume Ernie would warn Jimmy about the tape.
