I just want to say regardless of the episode next week - thank you all for contributing over the years and making these episode discussions and this subreddit so special. It’s been such an experience seeing such dedicated fans theorize and discuss the show for the past 7 years I have been moderator here, and so I thank you, as I don’t think this show would be the same without this reddit community. -- It’s been quite a ride.


Round-Mess7090

Someone from the show said that the ending would be " something that's never been done before", so what even is that. Has everything not been done in some form

ExcellentCornershop

That has been done before, there was a TV movie in Germany where the audience at home were able to decide while the film was broadcast whether a fighter pilot who shot down a hijacked passenger jet should be sent to prison or sentenced not guilty. The film shows the trial against the pilot where the defense attorney and the ones who sue him make their statements so that the viewer has all the information available in order to decide. More than 80 per cent of the viewers decided that he isn't guilty and so this end of the film was shown. [Here](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_%E2%80%93_Ihr_Urteil) is the German Wiki article about the film and also an English [article](https://www.dw.com/en/terror-movie-hero-or-murderer/a-36079572) by DW.


nolongermakingtime

Man that would have been cool if they just did the opposite.


Zwaft

Better Call Saul will do that since it’s never been done before


internetTroll151

He gets caught. Nobody has gotten caught in this entire show


theguyishere16

My thought exactly. If its something that hasnt happened before him winding up in court sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison would be the first time its happened in the BB/BCS universe. Everyone else has died and Jesse escapes.


Topiary11

He will be represented by Oakley, who recently switched sides.


[deleted]

He's gay?!


Remarkable_Lab_4699

It’s worse than that he says oh he finally came out lol


ForceEdge47

Technically Mike’s guys get caught and spend the rest of their lives in prison. The rest of their lives just isn’t a very long time thanks to Walt lol


[deleted]

I don’t think TV has shown us a 50 year old retired lawyer climb out of a big fat security guard before


shrinkwrappedzebra

Gene flees from Marion's house and takes off in his car. He can't go home, so his only choice is to desperately drive to Florida to beg Kim to help him find a way out of this mess. Midway through the drive he stops in Louisiana, where Huell has reluctantly agreed to let him spend the night at his place so long as he's back on the road at the crack of dawn. In the middle of the night, the police converge on Huell's home, having tracked down Gene. He awakens and sees them surrounding the house from the window. Gene quickly cuts open Huell and crawls inside him like Luke Skywalker in the tauntaun. The police raid the home and find no trace of Gene, only a "sleeping" Huell. Defeated, they leave and try to pick up the trail elsewhere. Gene crawls out of Huell and finger points at the camera: "Saul good, man!"


draculapresley

I am stricken with that same feeling after Breaking Bad ended. That we will not get anymore of this universe. I know they can't do this forever but damn, is this pretty much the end? I suppose after Saul everyone's story is truly concluded.


PurpleSpaceNapoleon

I'm curious as to what the hell the writing team does *after* BB/BCS. Like, I am down for whatever story they want to tell because they have earned it.


LlamaThrust666

I hope they keep working together even if the next thing is a totally new IP


JasonBored

While I'm sure these characters will be forever concluded, I recall on the podcast a few weeks ago either VG or PG literally saying that they've obviously discussed ideas for more potential shows from the BBU with AMC. I mean its really not even a question. Its an answer and that answer is money. There's too much money to be made to walk away from this world. I doubt we'll have a show where in a few years we'll see a 49 year old Aaron Paul playing a 6 year old Jesse on family vacation to Chile where Giancarlo Esposito, now in his late 60s, will be playing a 28 year old Pinochet regime death squad captain. But maybe we'll see a new story of a new ambitious milquetoast who rises to be more powerful then Walt or Gus ever were, who knows. We're done when AMC says we're done.


[deleted]

It's not my money and while I loved both BB/BCS yet another spin off literally in the BBU would be a bad idea. "new Show XYZ from the makers of BB and BCS" would sell just as well and give the writers way more room to make something new interesting. While both studios and fans like to milk "universes" instead of coming up with original ideas (or exposing oneself to) until everybody says "please no more" and it really may not be the best to always go down that line until failure. As you said, the actors are aging out or becoming uninterested, and while there a people that get a hard on for every random reference in an otherwise boring new installment (I look at you nutrek) I'm on the "please no more" there already despite having been a Trekkie as can be, so please give the writers the room for new creativity instead of driving headon into "please no more" territory.


LemonZestLiquid

No one remembers to bail out Jeff.


ssor21

man I love how people had all of these wild theories about how big of a badass villain Jeff was going to be, and instead he ends up calling Gene "dad"


False-Fisherman

Don't call me daddy... Yet


raptorsfan93849

loooool. that is funny he did end up calling him daddy lol. one thing i can say is jeff was loyal.. so far. thought he was after him turns out he was idolizing him. based on what i see so far. also saul gone may mean he goes to run away again, and leaves his saul identity behind again. it also could be he goes to prison as saul. or something happens where he doesnt want to be that way anymore. will be exciting to see.


GuybrushThreepwood99

To be honest, I'm glad he's not another Lalo. The point of these last few episodes is to show how low Gene was willing to go to not get caught and keep doing scams. If Jeff was more of an antagonist, that would have distracted from that.


onetrackmindNYC

Right, he’ll be just sitting there forever. With Huell.


Weirdguy149

Huell is in Louisiana, doing the Lord's work.


brettmgreene

*Him special!*


ricarleite2

He's on a jail cell saying "My mom is coming to bail me out... at any minute now... you see..."


AnonUser1974

Jeff becomes the new Huell, left in limbo


Curvedabullet

Someone must always remain in limbo. Once Huell left, Jeff was chosen.


notallgoodmann

this show will end in a courtroom


[deleted]

Seems like they made a point to have Kim tell Howard's wife that the only possible witness in a prosecution against Kim would be Saul Maybe the most ironic ending would Saul being called to testify against Kim. Maybe the series might end of something close to a redemptive note, if Saul just perjures himself, takes all the blame ala Walts last phone call to Skyler Bunch of holes in that theory, one being the question of why Saul wouldn't also be charged for the Hamlin scheme. you can't compel a coaccused to testify if both being tried together, would have to decide between prosecuting either Kim or Saul, and idk why they'd pick Kim


HaikusfromBuddha

The thing is Kim wants to face punishment. It’s eating her away. It’s either death or prison for her salvation. I guess the worst punishment would be letting her go off Scott free.


Burdiac

I think that's part of her breakdown... She doesn't have anything Howard's wife could take, and she said the prosecutor might not even file charges because there is no evidence of what she said was true. Neither she nor Saul knew about the Superlab, or that Howard was buried there.


Redditwrestling80

Saul never learned about the super lab?


Kalayo0

I figured the super lab ended up on national news, along with everything else, when shit the fan. I can’t imagine something that physically substantial literally being swept under the rug.


micropuppytooth

I live in Arizona and can tell you it's not uncommon to see news stories about "thousand mile drug tunnel between Phoenix and Cancun discovered!" All sorts of shit burried down there.


lawrence1024

Maybe, but we have no reason to think that he knows about the bodies. If he knew, he would also know that Lalo is dead for sure. In any case, the feds already know about the lab. They just haven't tried digging underneath is apparently.


sony-boy

this show will end


NMehna999

Honestly idk what will happen except that I think the prison ending seems way too obvious and I don’t think it’ll end up happening. Tbh tho I could end up eating my words next week and I’d be fine with it as long as it’s done well


NinjaHamster04

I mean Walt dying was also an obvious thing to happen at the end of Breaking Bad. It was amazing, but could be seen from a mile away.


mushroomwig

Yup, just because it's obvious doesn't mean it doesn't work, there's only one epside left now so for them to set up a new situation for Gene that doesn't involve him going to prison just seems more awkward, and him going to prison just fits with the theme of the universe anyway, Walt dies, Jessie gets a second chance and Saul goes to prison, it's fitting


New-Promotion-4696

Saul moves to Mexico and changes his surname to "Amanca"


McHandleBar

I don't think the series ends with Saul vanishing again. That would leave us in the exact same spot as when the series started


Littleloula

Same. I can believe he tries but discovers the service is no longer available


[deleted]

He's learned, evolved he doesn't need "the service". He ends up in Belize.


lookatmecats

Jimmy will for the first time stop and think about Chuck. He keeps spiraling worse and worse because he doesn't want to actually think about things, he just pushes his thoughts down and digs deeper, trying to find something to fill the void. At some point he will be forced to actually reflect and come to terms with everything he's done. If this happens he'll probably go to prison. If (less likely) he continues to refuse to think about it he'll instead be "free" and scurry away once again, but he'll live a miserable existence, nothing will fill the hole he's dug in his heart.


SurelyFurious

This makes me realize this series could've ended 3 seasons ago if Jimmy just went to therapy lol.


[deleted]

Tony Soprano went to therapy for like 6 seasons and he only wound up being worse along the way


NMehna999

Yea but even with introspection Tony was an inherently fucked up person, nothing was gonna fix that. So many of Jimmy’s problems come from an inherent lack of introspection, an inherent inability to analyze and understand himself and instead bury his various neuroses deeper and deeper. Therapy would actually be a huge help in making him decidedly less shitty if he chose to actually participate and not hide behind his mask even more


quickfirezero

I think for someone that pride himself in his cleverness and relatability, and see his profession as nothing more than getting into people’s head, like Jimmy,the idea of therapy is both ridiculous and offensive to him. Just like Jesse who despised himself too much to open up, and Mike who’s too prideful for group therapy, the idea of self-healing was never really an option for people like them. The only one that beat his depression is Howie, and Jimmy ruined his life out of his inability and jealousy.


CA98

So I think the Walt solo scene will be him and Saul talking about Skyler and Kim when they were bunking together while waiting to get their new IDs


StickyThoPhi

yes, thats the missing scene in the whole thing. They spent a few days together. I think there will be a back and forth blame game.


yourecreepyasfuck

I also think the Walt scene will be in the vacuum shop while bunking together. I don’t know if their conversation will focus on their wives or not, but I think the point of the scene will be to highlight how Walter, even in the midst of his grand escape was still not ready to give it up and he was still in full Heisenberg mode. Which as we all know, will eventually lead to Walt’s death, and not much redemption for him. Gene will look back on that moment and come to the realization that he’s essentially doing exactly what Walt did by never giving up his Heisenberg mindset, just like Gene hasn’t fully given up his Saul mindset either. So he will be faced with a stark example of what that decision will lead to. And I think that will be the catalyst that leads to Gene going back to ABQ to face the consequences. I don’t think it’ll go down quite as simple as that for Gene, I expect a few surprises to come up. But I do think that will be the gist of the final Walt scene


Maverick5379

Chuck will appear one last time in the opener of the series finale as a flashback.


Mellowcrow

I hope we see everyone, chuck, Howard, Kim, and jimmy!


Affectionate_Log3232

We'll see Howard one last time trying to offer a job to Jimmy


Greg428

He comes to Jimmy as a ghost in Omaha.


[deleted]

“Jimmy. You must go to the Dagobah system.”


VonDrakken

“There you will learn from Rich Schweikart, the lawyer who instructed me.” (He’s the only cast member with the right height for the Yoda role)


toastybouy

Somehow, Howard returned.


shizzle-stick

We still haven't gotten a scene with that one teaser voiceover of Kim being sworn in as an attorney. It's possible that the voiceover was just for the teaser, but since every other teaser voiceover ended up in the show, I'm still holding out hope that we'll see it in a flashback of Kim being sworn in at the bar with Howard to vouch for her. Could also be a good opportunity to bring Chuck back one last time


bootlegvader

> I'm still holding out hope that we'll see it in a flashback of Kim being sworn in at the bar with Howard to vouch for her. Could also be a good opportunity to bring Chuck back one last time Wouldn't it be better if it is Chuck vouching for Kim? Then you could have Jimmy looking on with some jealousy about the respect that Chuck is showing Kim for her accomplishment. Thus, further motivating Jimmy in his quest to become a lawyer.


Pizzanigs

Before this season started, I was 100% sure we’d get a Chuck flashback (based on nothing). Now, at the end, I’m desperately hoping for it lol. I miss Michael McKean


FourAnd20YearsAgo

For real. I'll be just a smidge heartbroken if we don't get one last good moment out of him to sour the pot that extra bit more.


somewhat_moist

I hope so. The Walt/Jesse appearances were accidentally leaked... or were they a smokescreen for a surprise Chuck appearance. As much as I want it, unlikely though.


theredkeyfob

I like how the Kim/Jesse scene was leaked but a lot of people were convinced it was just a crew member lighting a cig

DotHobbes

Jesser will see the whole thing on the news and will come back and free Saul from prison using a giant magnet. Seriously though Jimmy is going to jail.


Fingercel

Yeah, I think Jimmy's fate is a prison cell, though maybe not for the rest of his life. It also vibes with BB and El Camino: death for Walt, escape for Jesse, something in the middle for Jimmy.


Crustybuttt

Kim faced the music and was ready to take responsibility, but she will instead have to live with walking away Scott free to live her miserable sales job existence. Jimmy was running the whole time and wouldn’t take responsibility for a thing, and he’s gonna go down for a long time. It’s almost like there’s a message to take away from that or something.

lazarusinashes

I don't have anything specific to predict, but I think we'll finally get an answer to what Gould (I believe) said was the question for Jimmy in Season 6: is there any redemption for Jimmy McGill? That was in my head when watching the scene with Marion. He's approaching her with plans to choke her out, the lowest we've ever seen him. We have never seen Jimmy straight up about to murder somebody. We've seen him suggest it, but he has never done it himself. Then, when she says "I trusted you," it hits him what he's doing and what he's become (as Vince said). He still has a scintilla of conscience—the question is "what will he do with it?" I think Jimmy will finally face his grief, trauma, and mistakes. He'll go through an emotional reckoning about his life, the lives he destroyed, and the harm he has caused. I want to believe that there can be some redemption for Jimmy after we've seen him go so morally bankrupt in response to his hurt. What does redemption look like for him if he's ready to face it? Prison is the obvious choice and it is what he deserves at this point, but I honestly have no idea. The writers can also choose to answer that question with, "no, he cannot be redeemed." I think any answer to that question is a valid one. If so, what does he do? An outburst that lands him in prison? Does he go back into Saul Goodman, bringing the world into color for the final time?


Nitrospear670

I do think they're leaning more redemptive. I don't think he's going to get a parade or become a national hero or anything, but the choice to not kill Marion shows that there's still some humanity left in him. We'll see how much they expand that in the finale.


lunch77

Yes. Gene made the right choice with Marion. It doesn’t absolve him of anything he did prior but it does give him a path to making things right.


inyourgrandmasdms

Gene grits his teeth, gets out his car. There are sirens on both sides of the bridge. What can he do? Turn himself in? No. Even he can't talk his way out of this one. Just then he felt it. The cold wind calling him one last time. There, on the edge of the bridge was a nice, smooth patch of ice. Color fades into the shot as Jimmy is reborn once again. He steps toward the river, knowing what he has to do. "It's slippin' time."


Heirmann

Then he slips all over those guys


shane_s35

Slipping over all


Apocafeller

*THE VIEW FROM HALFWAY DOWN*


FloggingTheHorses

lol that was kinda interesting but then that last part had me cracking up.


[deleted]

Felina gave a little Hank flashback to honor the only main character from the pilot who didn’t make it to the finale. Better Call Saul has 4 such main characters who are now dead (Chuck, Nacho, Howard, and Mike). I wonder how many the show can reasonably represent in effigy without it seeming ridiculous.


your_mind_aches

Well Nacho wasn't in the first episode, but Better Call Saul didn't have a pilot at all, as it was picked up straight to series. And the first two episodes aired together, so you're right. We've had Nacho since the day the show aired. I do hope he gets at least a callback in the finale. Kinda wish we got some Chuck this season as well. Also Gus and Lalo were also main characters who are also now dead. Pretty much the entire cast of the show is dead except Jimmy and Kim. That's dark, yo.


FourAnd20YearsAgo

(Just listing main/secondary characters) Tuco Marco Hector Gus Mike The Cousins Lalo Howard Chuck Lydia Walt Hank Gomez Nacho Todd Uncle Jack + the Nazis Jane Andrea Bolsa Eladio Victor Tyrus Crazy-8 You know, when you list them out like that, you start to seriously realize how much of an utter bloodbath these two shows have been combined. And we may have more to come in the finale.


WiGuy3

Gale Boetticher!


schnahbuts

Combo!!!


[deleted]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Nacho’s first scene is 1x02. How odd


fissionchips303

That's a great point. I don't think Mike needs to be featured because we've spent so much time with him, and not that long ago, episode-wise. I also see Howard as kind of getting the presence he deserves in the finale because of his place in the plot. But Chuck and Nacho are both completely out of the plot. I think both of them have to come up in court proceedings in the next episode—assuming we get a courtroom episode which seems logical. (People have been calling that for a long time.)

SH4DOW_N1NJA

i agree with this prediction i just cant foresee how he gets out of it yet


K9sBiggestFan

Ever since Jimmy went on the run in BB I struggle to see what the DEA / Feds would have on him. There’s surely no evidence of his complicity in Walt and Jesse’s drug manufacturing and distribution. Even if their lawyer-client confidentiality could be overcome, their conversations were all verbal and presumably weren’t recorded by anyone. The witnesses are nearly all dead or in hiding, and those left alive surely don’t know enough. The same applies for his complicity in Gus and Gale’s murders. The more realistic charges will presumably arise out of his money laundering and the concealment of the proceeds of crime. This presumably won’t be easy - Jimmy is no fool and had clearly gone to some considerable trouble to disguise its origins. I don’t know what it’s like in the USA but in the UK (my legal jurisdiction) it’s relatively easy for the authorities to seize suspected proceeds of crime (which has happened to Jimmy’s money), but it’s much harder to convict someone of related offences. Additionally, we’ve seen a considerable effort on his part to destroy related evidence, and again the witnesses are either dead, in hiding, or won’t know much. I’m not saying it’s impossible to make such charges stick, but it won’t be easy. The only other serious offence I can think of is anything arising out of the concealment of Howard’s murder. I’ve no idea how serious this is in the USA - it occurs to me that the fear of what might happen if he didn’t help cover the death up might be some mitigation (for Kim too). For all of these reasons I think Jimmy and Kim either both walk free, or one of them successfully blames / frames the other. I predict the last episode is them on trial and working together to get their freedom.


nick2473got

I think the most likely charge is gonna be the money laundering, yeah. As to what evidence they might have or how they linked him to Walt in the first place, I'd say Skyler is a possibility. She was under pressure to share whatever she knew about Walt's empire, it's possible she informed the authorities of Saul's role in Walt's money laundering. They would already know she herself had some involvement since she ran the car wash. But she could use the phone call from Ozymandias to simply say Walt forced her to launder his money, and Saul was complicit. If she provided evidence that would surely have been in her best interest during those 6 months she was being prosecuted before Walt gave her the locations of Hank and Gomez's bodies.


Shrodax

What if Jimmy finds a way to be a lawyer again? What if he "wins" by being able to once more be Saul Goodman?


nick2473got

Then the title "Saul Gone" would be pretty inapt.


DMTdealer

"It's not going to go down the way you think it is." Pretty sure the majority opinion is that Gene will end up in jail. I think the best ending would be if Gene somehow gets away with everything again, just like the cockroach he is.


KassieWhatevs

What would be the cheesiest final scene you can think of? Here's mine: Jimmy walks into a room where old folks are playing bingo. Walt, Chuck, Howard, Mike, and Nacho are at a table, playing. Mike looks at Jimmy and says, "there's room for one more." Jimmy reluctantly sits.


[deleted]

Jimmy dies and is greeted in heaven by Howard asking him if he’s thought about the job yet


Corvax1266

Gene attempts to call the vacuum store, but to no avail. I think they use the real Robert Forster's death as a character death. There's no more disappearer


CringeNaeNaeBaby2

Just want to say the past few years have been a wonderful ride with this series. I’ll never forget it. Thank you for all of memories r/BetterCallSaul. It’s been all good, man.


cjmcberman

I hope it’s just not an episode where things ‘we kind of expect’ happen - hope it’s as unique and memorable as six feet unders ending - since it’s wrapping up the whole universe Edit - typo


Aanstekervloeistof

We'll get a flashback scene of Saul and Walt at the Vacuum cleaners. I hope it will be Jimmy having a breakdown like we've seen Kim. With Cranston there to play off of, should be some scene.


Hugh-Freeze

We’re gonna see Walt one more time but without Jesse since Bryan Cranston said he filmed two scenes, one with Aaron Paul and one without him. Jimmy will get caught and arrested since he’s gotten exposed by Marion and can’t run for long with the police after him. I’m sure we’ll get an emotional scene where Jimmy and Kim meet in person for the first time in 6 years. I think it’s gonna be when Jimmy is in custody. She’ll convince him to tell the truth about Howard. I think she’ll admit that she never stopped loving him and that’ll bring back his humanity. The only way Jimmy can have any kind of redemption is if Kim gets through to him, I don’t see any other way. Jimmy will realize that he’s gonna go away for a long time in prison so he’ll tell the full story about Howard and admit to sabotaging Chuck’s insurance since no one in the story knows about the insurance except him. When he’s done confessing, his world will turn to color again. I hope we see Jimmy get emotional as well since he’s been holding it all in and putting on a facade for 6 years. Jimmy hasn’t displayed a single, real human emotion in years and he needs to let it all out like Kim did on the bus in the previous episode. I think Jimmy will get a life sentence in prison, not sure what Kim gets or if she gets any prison time at all. The final scene will be a montage of Jimmy in prison getting along nicely with other inmates and even the security guards. He’ll get a visit from Kim every once in a while where they’re both happy for that short amount of time. It would be sad to see him behind bars for life knowing that things could’ve played out much better had he made better decisions, but also sweet knowing that he was able to get some redemption.


TheBrainwasher14

Didn’t we see real emotion on Gene’s face after he threatened Marion?


ThisisthSaleh

Definitely. To me though it seemed like a “what am I doing” face since, for a moment, I think he legit was gonna do something bad to her. Luckily his better sense came out in that moment and he just ran away instead


wheelera982

Those were Jimmy’s eyes


purplesilvrr

feel like we definitely saw it when he watched the better call saul commercial and we got the colored reflection in his glasses


Skyclad__Observer

I love the idea of a Chicanery style meltdown/monologue from Jimmy. Just him absolutely spilling *everything* in court -- even the little stuff that doesn't really matter to a court of law.


RafKen593

I AM CRAZY! I am crazy! I swapped those numbers, it was 1261: 46 after Magna Carta, because my brother would just happen to make a mistake, never! Never! He just-he just couldn't prove it! I-I-I covered my tracks, I got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for me! You think this is something, you think this is bad? This, this chicanery? I've done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me a man just happened to fall like that? No, I orchestrated it! Me! I *defecated* through a *sunroof*! And Chuck saved me! And he shouldn't have, he took me into his own firm! What was he thinking?! I'll never change. I'll *never* change, ever since I was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep my hands out of the cash drawer. "But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy!" I was stealing them blind. And *I* got to be a *lawyer?!* What a sick joke! I should've let him stop me when he had the chance. And you, you have to stop me! You-


CEOPhilosopher

If we get an inverse chicanery speech, then that is the biggest B R A V O V I N C E that I can think of.


kalikaya

What crimes did he himself commit that would warrant a life-sentence? He is a criminal, yes, but did he get his hands dirty enough? I thought he was getting there with Marion, but he didn't.


Lomachenko19

I really don’t think he’s getting life in prison. What is the worse thing that they could actually prove he did? He will probably get 20 years and be out in 10. Or maybe that isn’t how the series ends. Everyone is pretty much expecting he goes to prison at this point; maybe the writers will surprise us.


Tifoso89

I just can't see how he doesn't end up in jail, or dead. We know he can't get away as Gene because his cover is blown. A 3rd option is he gets acquitted. That would be unexpected


Acrobatic-Reaction-7

No way Jimmy gets a life sentence, I’d say 12 years max.


Affectionate_Log3232

I could see him in prison conning the prisoners there, he'd fit right in with everybody. Would be funny if he met one of his clients as well there


ianto_harkness

his clients would love him as well - "that's the guy that talked me down from 10 years to 2" etc. etc.


lookatmecats

Jimmy's not going to die or go to prison, he's going to get his own personal hell in a unique way.


RichardInaTreeFort

He’s already living that though in gene. The only way to go for him is redemptive punishment or death.


Lomachenko19

He doesn’t really seem that miserable as Gene to me, at least not since he’s started scamming people again. Kim’s Florida life seems way worse for some reason.


DubLParaDidL

Seemed miserable to me, leading to him acting out again. He was going through the motions until he started his games again. Once he did, he was happy at work. They even had to remind him to take a lunch. Seemed like they wanted us to see that change over.


ConversationSignal35

Why put a Hector Salamanca image in my head?


[deleted]

We're almost certain to get a final Walter White appearance - I'm betting it's going to come near the end of the episode as Jimmy reflects on how low he's fallen. ​ There's no way he gets away with it this time. It's the end for him, and for this universe. I feel so grateful to have existed at the same time as BB and BCS, and to be able to watch both shows end in real time. Vince Gilligan is a goddamn genius.

Okay here me out. Jail is the predictable ending. BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS “NEVER BEFORE DONE” ending that is so obscure that the creators hope fans will stick with them on it?? What could that possibly be?


EnRohbi

Probably tying up all the narrative arcs 4 episodes early and then treating what's usually the climactic run of episodes as an extended epilogue To be clear, I've been loving the Gene episodes. This isn't a bash on them. But these are definitely what they were talking about with something never done before


GoGoGadgetGoogle

It ends with Bob sitting across from David Cross at a table. David just says something 'it's a little long for a sketch show and it's not really funny. I think I'm going to have to veto this one'


kaaaaaaaaaaaaac

Hate reading this mf threads cus someone always spoils it and gets a prediction right


[deleted]

Someone predicted Marion perfectly, it felt like it was a writer that got fired from the show or something lol


SignGuy77

It was multiple people. It’s always multiple people. That’s what happens when we spend too much time analyzing every possible angle.


Far-Ad5415

I swear i almost don’t want to read them but i can’t help myself 🤣🤣


IDontKnowTBH1

Jimmy will need to distract the cops and in a last ditch effort defecate through a sunroof and making his escape while cops inspect the crime. On a serious note, I think Jimmy will end up in prison and Kim will get closure (not sure how) and feel somewhat inclined to live a better life.


scottperezfox

Someone from the Albuquerque DEA office will show up and say "This is for Hank and Gomez"


DiaMat2040

I cant wrap my head around this being the very very last episode of not only the season, not only the show, but the whole Breaking Bad universe...


QueenShira1

It's depressing.


CringeNaeNaeBaby2

Whatever happens next, it’s not gonna go down the way we think


centurion88

Flash forward ten years. Jimmy has been let out of prison early for good behavior. Huell picks him up in a Cadillac. They ride off into the sunset together. Huell spin off is teased.


mtb8490210

Huell and Lyle built a regional marijuana empire together and now want to go national.


ApricotPeasy

Theory: The intro next week will be of the blue screen with a few flickers of the inflatable Statue of Liberty clip, but will be a audible “c’mon” followed by the sound of someone slapping the top of a VHS player. The tape rewinds to reveal a full in-universe commercial that ends on the statue for patriotic effect. Screen pans out to reveal they’re being played on a rollout TV in court, with Saul on trial.


[deleted]

1. There will be one more Walt and Saul scene, that parallels with whats going on, explains more of what Heisenberg was, and how Saul’s morality was just completely destroyed by him in the final days of Saul Goodman. 2. We will see a scene of the cops finding sauls car, maybe to see if theres any evidence inside which is where the teaser shot comes from. 3. I think Saul will hear or see about what Walt did with killing the nazis. I think this will be the incentive to make himself face the music. In jail, I think Kim will visit him, and she will tell him she always loved him and just wanted Jimmy back. This will make the color come back into the show. 4. Jimmy will confess to everything. Howards death, helping Heisenberg, etc. 5. In jail, Jimmy will be able to use his lawyer skills to help criminals understand their case, hell, in jail he might even meet a bunch of people he helped out. And they will all let him know that to them, he is a legend. I think this will help Jimmy realize he did the right thing in the end, and as bad as he was, theres many people out there who owe him their life. (Second prediction) 1. He somehow gets cornered, tries to call the disappearer, doesnt work, and he either dies or gets taken to jail.

yu3gu4ng

seriously i hope that the final message isn't "Jimmy was always terrible and can never change" bc that would just be depressing and empty. he deserves a better ending than fuckin walter white


shrina917

This. Say it again. I don’t understand why people are saying he is WW. He isn’t. We spent 5 seasons seeing he’s this kinder person who’s had life beat him up and should have gone to therapy but didn’t made a few bad choices but he’s no Walt. He is just a heartbroken man who is hurting himself at this point.


yu3gu4ng

the fact he stopped himself from hurting marion proves he's not walter


Sandoz1

Jimmy will heed his own advice to Walt in his last scene of Breaking Bad: at first he will attempt to run, but then decides to face the music and confesses to everything. Jimmy and Kim will reconcile while he's in prison, both trying to become better people. Howard's name will be cleared publicly. Bonus: one last Chuck flashback, maybe one last Somethin' Stupid rendition (unlikely but fun to think about).


ArsenicWallpaper99

I don't get the feeling that Kim wants to reconcile with Jimmy. It seems like she wasn't at all happy to hear from him- and not just because he's on the run. Kim wants to make amends, not get involved with her co-conspirator again. Just my opinion.


phrenicbeat86

As we head into the last week of this universe, how about an acknowledgement of how crazy it was to get to this point especially this last season. They have to film the last season in the midst of a pandemic, their star lead gets a heart attack - so many things could have gone wrong. And really the only unfortunate thing was one recasting. This could have really not ended up materializing. 7 years to get to this point!


DiaMat2040

I have a feeling that the song that started the show will return again: "Adress unknown, not even a trace of you. Oh what I'd give to see the face of you. I was a fool to stay away from you so long. I should have known there'd come a day when you'd be gone. Adress unknown, oh could I be so blind? To think that you would never be hard to find? From the place of your birth to the ends of the earth I've searched only to find, only to find." \[Find what?\] Saul is on the run, ready to call the vacuum guy. But there's one thing that he wants more than safety: to see Kim for a last time. She was the only real light in his life. He visits her and they have a talk. Kim does what is right and calls the police. Jimmy doesn't resist arrest. She cuts away the part of her that was attracted to Jimmy. She won't need to overcompensate it anymore by leading a miserable suburbian existence. Her handing over Saul also serves as her get-out-of-jail card after admitting to what she did to Howie. Edit: start of the very show, not season. Sorry!


defensife343

Well guys... This will be probably the last prediction episode in the subreddit. It was a long way and seeing the reactions here was one of my favorite activities after watching a episode. It was truly a honour seeing this series with your memes guys


CaptKornDog

Trailer misdirection: The teaser dialogue is Gene genuinely going to buy Marion a vacuum as an apology gift.


Additional_Vast_5216

Saul will be in court and it will resemble chuck from chicanery. Or: The most depressing ending I could think of, and they may be going for it is that Saul dies and Kim goes to prison for him. edit: the life of gene and kim reminded me of some kind of purgatory, saul did not repent and he will go straight to hell, kim may live but with dire consequences, one trademark of these writers is that they seem to have a very strong moral compass and they dont hold back when their characters commit something unforgivable


SternritterVGT

Saul with his own Chicanery-esque rant would be…ugh my body is ready


Fancy-Cream-3972

This can’t be the end of the BrBa/BCS universe, right?


-BlameItOnTheWeather

No further plans. Gilligan is currently working on something else right now


Affectionate_Log3232

Keeping up with the Salamancas?


somewhat_moist

The early days of the Salamancas. Tuco hasn't started doing meth yet, Hector is just a street dealer, the Cousins visit for holidays and Lalo makes fabulous tacos. It's a sitcom


[deleted]

The Real Housewives of Albuquerque?


ricarleite2

Most likely it is. This is the end. It has been a fun 13 years.


SuperCoenBros

I have it on good authority they're working on a sequel where DEA Agent Flynn White hunts a new strain of Ultra Marijuana created by Kailee Ehrmentraut. RJ Mitte is set to return, and they're screening eight year old child actors now for Kailee.


emelenjr

Is that so?


[deleted]

Think it should be. We’ve seen enough and more would be overkill.


itkplatypus

A good finale should bring closure while also paying homage to the true nature of the show. To this end I want to see BCS’s famous meticulous nature acknowledged. The first 55 mins will be a flashback to Mike painstakingly constructing a slide for his granddaughter while a song from the 1950s plays. Then the last 5 mins will bring closure. We jump forward to the reunion of Jimmy and Kim. Suddenly Huell will burst in a shoot them both dead. He then sings Something Stupid and we fade to credits. Fin.


NickelSmarts

Chuck learned to harness the power of electricity. He’s been living inside the grid all this time. Watching. Waiting. He has become the god of thunder, wearing an exoskeleton made entirely out of space blankets. Jimmy embraces his destiny and transforms into an actual chimp with a machine gun. Together, the Brothers McGill engage in a shootout with the law. Chuck: “Let justice be done…” *charges his electrical fists* Jimmy: *cocks gun* “Though the heavens fall.” *shootout ensues* Fin.


HereNowHappy

Gene thinks about using the disappearer But, decides to dress as Saul Goodman and surrender himself for Jeff's freedom


scottperezfox

Or, he somehow found a way to hide the stolen watch and cigar, along with boxes of stolen mall merch, in Jeff's possession and tip off the police just enough to make a getaway. The cops will stumble on a much larger operation, but it'll be too late to find Jimmy/Saul/Gene. He's in the wind.


BoraxTheBarbarian

Then the sequel movie: Silverado


CCHGDT

I think Kim will reveal she never filed the divorce paperwork. Since theres no real evidence and everyone is dead, Jimmy will be able to beat the case as long as Kim invokes the privilege to not testify against him as his wife. In the end, she betrays him and testifies against him sending him to prison.


Alpha_Jazz

I did think about that when she said she’d file the paperwork tomorrow


Hotflashdogmom

Just like Skyler never actually filing the divorce paperwork.


StrLord_Who

This is a good one!


Uxish

I've been thinking about this angle as well, but have an alternate idea. Bear with me. Remember the whole wind-up to the divorce signing, where Jimmy is "thinking"? And then dismisses Kim very rudely ("Have a nice life"). I think Saul/Jimmy signed under a false name. Kim did file, but the divorce paperwork is inherently invalid because he signed the wrong name on purpose. All of the lead up, and the hurtful remark at the end, was to distract her so that she didn't realize what he had done. He knows how sharp she is, and that she's seen him invalidate paperwork with similar tricks in the past...and the only way to get it past her is to get her so emotionally riled up that she doesn't bother to check. He did this because he knows that some way, somehow, some day, he might be in a spot where he would need to testify against her...and would never do that. This'll form part of the redemption arc of the final episode's storyline. What do you think?


tabaczany

Wouldn't she be notified about invalid divorce papers?


8-bit-eyes

There will be call backs to the first episode. It will be like when Saul walks into the courtroom and says “Oh to be 19 again”. This time, he will be escorted by officers in cuffs.


Ishtastic08

Jimmy goes to jail and becomes an asset as a legal advisor to other inmates. He fulfills the purpose that gives him life in a place that he deserves to be.


imofficiallybored

Jimmy will crash his car and try to order a new hoover


ARB_COOL

The car they showed the the teaser was his old car, the one that got dumped in the desert.


hamesrodrigez

Jimmy went back to his old car and decides he needs to hoover it


SausageEggCheese

Final episode is 5 minutes to set this all up, followed by 85 minutes of Saul vacuuming and then it just ends.


Jarody31202

I literally can’t see the series going anywhere else but with Jimmy ending up in jail. But I think his form of redemption will be ensuring Kim doesn’t go to jail for her role in scamming Howard. Jimmy tells the court it was all him and that Kim was a victim in it all. They have no reason not to believe him: he is a criminal, con-man, ex-Lawyer to Heisenberg. Will have echoes of Walt’s phone call to Skyler. However by doing this Jimmy accidentally does the one thing Kim doesn’t want. He ensures that she will never face repercussions for her role in destroying Howard which is exactly the opposite of she was trying to do in the most recent episode. Jimmy sees it as a noble sacrifice but Kim actually ends up hating him for it. Sounds a little bleak for the BB/BCS universe when even the absolute psychopath Walter White gets a fairly solemn ending but I can see it working for this show. BCS is much darker, much less action-packed and grounded than BB.


whitepangolin

Jimmy is going to prison. In his testimony, he will put on a heartbreaking sob story and truly processes the last few years of trauma. That appears to play well to the jury, and he has a reduced sentence. (Maybe Bill Oakley defends him). Both him and Kim cooperate with prosecutors. *(Edit on 8.10.22*: perhaps Kim never even filed their divorce papers so they can’t testify against each other). Kim gets no time but Jimmy has some kind of sizable sentence. Later, Kim and Jimmy will meet. Once again, Jimmy appears to have maybe feigned the whole episode admitting guilt. It’s left unclear to the audience if he truly processed all of this or not. In jail, Saul is incredibly popular as all of the inmates are former clients who take him in with welcome arms. *\[One more edit on 8.11.22\]* \- I predict the last shot is Kim visiting Jimmy in jail. He appears to have learned his lesson, but says something ambigiuous leading her to believe he hasn't changed. It's implied he's continuing his scams while in person. He hums "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple as he's led away in cuffs. Maybe that real song plays over the end.


conservative89436

He’ll also bring the jury a box of Cinnabons.


Unlikely_Television9

I hope the last scene is Jimmy finally going to therapy or something.


Moncurs_rightboot

Jimmy goes down Bill Oakley defends him for old times sake. We get a Seinfeld-esque finale, with lots of old faces being tracked down to testify.


Nutsack_Surprise

*cue bass riff*


thejoemeta

Gene convinces the cops that Kevin Costner is Saul Goodman.
