He agrees to cancel the play and clean up the nail salon before Mrs. And for a few minutes afterward, we get glimpses of the more responsible and decent guy that he’s capable of being. “It’s just not worth it,” Kim insists, and Jimmy reluctantly agrees in the moment. When Kim, chastened by her argument with Rich in “Dedicado a Max,” decides to call off the play and arrange a modest settlement for Acker, Jimmy’s disappointment is much more about not getting to finish the grift than it is about the potential money involved. He is never happier than when he’s running a play, as we see in the joy on his face as he directs the fake commercials he plans to use to blackmail Kevin. He’s not a drunk like her mom, but he’s nonetheless addicted to the con. The teaser also speaks to the reasons she’s drawn to Jimmy. For that matter, as the young Kim, Katie Beth Hall seems very much like she could grow up into our favorite banking law expert. But no, that’s actress Beth Hoyt, who looks a bit like Seehorn and, again, does a convincing approximation of her performance as the adult Kim. (*) Between the lighting and the similarity in voice and mannerisms, I at first wondered if that was Rhea Seehorn under a wig and a bit of makeup playing Kim’s mom. Kim wants to take on everything herself because she spent a long time being taught that this was the only way she could expect anything to get done and done right. The scene matches up not only with what Kim told Everett Acker about her childhood, but with the woman we’ve seen that girl become. She doesn’t pause, doesn’t look back she knows what she needs to do, however hard it may be, and she does it. So she sets off to walk the three miles to their house, over her mother’s indignant, hurt protests.

When her mother finally shows up, Kim is smart and strong-willed enough to recognize what a mistake it would be to get a car driven by a drunk woman. She wouldn’t win a fist fight with one of the Cousins, but she wouldn’t be intimidated by them, either. But even as a grown woman, Kim’s strength has always been more mental and emotional than physical. She’s so young, and looks extra vulnerable standing next to that huge cello case. The teaser takes us back to her childhood in Nebraska, where she’s lingering outside her middle school long after her mother(*) should have picked her up from band practice. First, though, it provides us a fuller picture of Kim’s origin story. Goodman” seems to suggest one ending for Kim - and much earlier than any of us might have wanted - before veering off in a much more troubling direction. Does she die? Is her career ruined by her association with Jimmy? Do the two of them just drift apart? Is there a chance, as Odenkirk, Seehorn, and others have suggested, that Saul Goodman went home every night to Kim Wexler? Kim, though? Her future is a riddle wrapped inside an enigma, and one that’s as much about defining Saul Goodman’s story on Breaking Bad as about concluding her own arc on this series. But we know how this story ends for Jimmy, Mike, Gus, and several other characters - and that it won’t be a good ending for any of them.

There have been smaller mysteries solved (why Jimmy changed his name, Mike’s reasons for teaming with Gus), and there are a few other dangling plot and character threads in need of tying off before the series concludes, particularly involving Nacho and Lalo.

Arguably, it’s the most important question of the entire series. This is the biggest question left for Better Call Saul. This has to end! I cannot keep living like this!” -Kim Goodman,” coming up just as soon as I enjoy cold pizza fondled by community theater actors…
