Out of a season full of Emmy-worthy moments, this heart-wrenching scene sits near the top of the list. The next time we see Kim this episode, it's back in Saul's office during “Breaking Bad.” Saul doesn't care she's moving to Florida and reveals she didn't take her share of the massive Sandpiper payout.
The fate of Kim Wexler is finally explained in Monday night's penultimate “Better Call Saul” episode, “Waterworks.” Through a flashback, we see Kim in Albuquerque during the “Breaking Bad” timeline — and she even interacts with Jesse Pinkman, who bums a cigarette and asks whether Saul Goodman is any good.
The show ended with Kim visiting Saul in prison, and the pair shared a cigarette like they used to do when they were married and they spoke about the future. While discussing his 87-year sentence Saul said that "with good behavior" he may well get out earlier.
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.
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.
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.
We got our beloved, if deeply flawed, Jimmy McGill back. And, in its final moments, we got that Jimmy and Kim reunion we've all been pining for. It wasn't not grim, but it was a lot less grim than I'd feared it might be.
He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul. Kim visits him and they share a cigarette. As she departs, he goes to the prison yard to see her off and "shoots" her finger guns. Kim acknowledges the gesture and leaves.
“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.
'Tread lightly. ' "If that's true — if you don't know who I am — then maybe your best course is to tread lightly." The Internet nearly exploded when Walt said the now-famous line, as fans tweeted up a storm.
After Jimmy and Kim both risked their lives for each other last episode, Kim is ending this relationship and her promising legal career. He knows how much she loves the law.
To be honest, Jimmy and Kim love each other in such a deep and indescribable way that they have their own love language. They'll do anything for each other, even destroy other people's lives and commit crimes. Their poisonous combination finally ended on Monday in “Fun and Games,” much to everyone's dismay.
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.
In this week's episode of Better Call Saul, “Fun and Games,” Kim Wexler broke things off with Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman.
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.
Odenkirk's filming the final season was unexpectedly halted in July 2021 when he collapsed on the series' New Mexico set after suffering a heart attack.
In one of the best Better Call Saul episodes, Season 5's "JMM," Kim's year of birth can be spotted on her driver's license. The details on the license reveal that she was born in 1968. Kim is, therefore, 8 years younger than Jimmy, who was born in 1960. This means that during the show's timeline, she is in her 30s.
He was eventually caught by the authorities and imprisoned for 86 years in a federal prison after finally accepting himself as Jimmy McGill, and began enjoying notoriety among his fellow inmates for his past life as Saul.
Following her car crash, Kim Wexler's broken arm has been put in a cast. She returns with Jimmy to the site of the crash and Jimmy picks up her scattered papers. The following morning, Jimmy feels responsible for her accident because she took on a second client partially to help pay for their shared office space.
He finally takes to hiding in a dumpster, trying to scramble for his phone to call Ed the Disappearer. But his luck seems to have run dry, and he fumbles everything he's holding. That's when the police find and capture him.
In Better Call Saul, Saul ended up getting 86 years in a federal prison after he did not take the plea deal that was offered to him. Better Call Saul provides context for some of the characters on Breaking Bad, but also follows its own, intriguing story.
The ultracompetent attorney who married Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), the man most likely to bring out the shadier side of her character, never appears in Breaking Bad, which led some viewers to assume she would die before Saul finished its run. But as Monday's series finale confirmed, Kim Wexler lives on.
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."
The final season of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul brought about the highly anticipated return of Breaking Bad's iconic, beloved duo, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).
