This will break his relationship with his MoralityPet brother. He will get power of attorney over his Chuck's affairs and then sue Hamlin, Hamlin & [=McGill=] for for his brother's share. This will cause the firm's breakup and Jimmy will pocket most of his brother's money for himself. Kim will be out of work and she'll break off her relationship with Jimmy, so he'll lose his other MoralityPet. This will complete Jimmy's transformation into Saul.

This is a variation of "Kim is going to die" WMG above. Chuck is clearly Jimmy's MoralityPet, one of the biggest reasons Jimmy stays on the straight path is because he doesn't want to disappoint Chuck. This is why he hid the newspaper that reported his shameless publicity stunt from Chuck. Also, it seems unlikely he would change the family name he and Chuck share just to attract more clients, it would be too shameful to admit that to Chuck. But if Chuck dies, Jimmy has no moral anchor anymore, so he's free to become Saul.

** Saul was already pretty established as a lawyer by the time ''Breaking Bad'' starts -- Walt and Jesse hire him specifically because Jesse's aware of his reputation. If ''Better Call Saul'' runs long enough to close in on the timeline of ''Breaking Bad'', Jimmy will probably have been "Saul" for several seasons already.

That ShoutOut to ''Film/{{Network}}'' was foreshadowing for Saul's character arc. The final season will focus on Saul's life after ''Breaking Bad,'' and the arc will focus on him getting back on his feet as a lawyer.

[[WMG: The show will last about as long as ''Breaking Bad''.]]
At the beginning of the show, it is May 23, 2002. ''Breaking Bad'' begins in 2008. That's one year for each season. ''Breaking Bad'' aired in six individual years, and this spin-off may do the same thing, ending in 2020 and ending before or at the beginning of the events of ''Breaking Bad.''

[[WMG: Alternatively, there will be a season overlapping with ''Breaking Bad.'']]
Maybe season seven if it gets that far.

[[WMG: The show will end with Walter White walking into Saul's office.]]
Thus dovetailing into the episode "Better Call Saul."

[[WMG: There will be more flash-forwards like the one in the first episode.]]
Because we need to see what else happens to Saul.

[[WMG: There will be at least one entire episode that takes place at the time that the beginning of the first episode takes place.]]
They have to at least make the series finale take place at that particular time. Maybe it could end up being the final season.

[[WMG: Proving to himself that he is a good lawyer is Jimmy's main reason for [[spoiler: negotiating with Tuco to save Cal and Lars]].]]
Though he was disgusted by what was done to them, he might have mainly done it for himself and not for them per se.

[[WMG: Jesse Pinkman is the twins' weed dealer.]]
When Jimmy looked at one of their phones, he said that he put his number on speed dial next to the twin's weed dealer.

It would be interesting to see the gaps in their backstories get filled.
