Having been denied of their chance to torture Nacho to death, the Salamancas will redirect their rage at his father instead. Mike will try to intervene, but Gus will stop him to prevent another war. As compromise, Gus will arrange for a certain disappearer to save Manuel, thus earning Mike's respect and loyalty in the process.

In a promo image of Walt and Jesse in BCS, they, according to some analytics, wear similar clothes as in Episode 207 of Breaking Bad "Negro y Azul". And "Black and Blue" in Spanish means... "Negro y Azul".

So, we have 10 different intros in this show. However, Season 6 will have 13 episodes, which probably means that openings will be completely blank or something(due to a full tape corruption and/or Gene arc development). There may also be Season 1-ish normal openings for last three episodes.

Saul/Jimmy hasn't worn one so far throughout BCS, yet he's pretty much always wearing one in ''Breaking Bad''. This was likely somehow directly influenced by Howard, though the context is yet to be seen--maybe he's taking a trait from a victim in the same way Walter does. Or maybe he's genuinely emulating him due to some kind of change in their relationship in season 6.

It's been implied that the Cinnabon scenes, or at least some of them, might take place while Walt is still alive and hiding in New Hampshire. After the events of "Felina", everybody connected to the Walter White empire is dead except Jesse, who moved to Alaska and wants absolutely nothing to do with the drug trade anymore. Saul left town because he thought he might be arrested, but it's never said that he's actually wanted by law enforcement. Also, his conversations with his clients are protected by attorney-client privilege. Maybe he could be disbarred, but knowing how miserable life as a Cinnabon manager in Omaha has made him, I think Saul might take his chances.

The two are just so, so different from each other, not to mention the huge age gap. The thought has crossed Chuck's mind more than once that Jimmy is the result of their mother having an affair. Whether he's right or not, it's just another reason he resents him.

So, the most fitting way and karmic way to end Saul's story is to put him behind bars. He spend the last decade twisting, dodging, and FlippingTheBird at the law, while helping God knows how many do the same. And that's his way of being punished for it; Having the exact same fate he helped others avoid. It would also be poetic by showing the three ways being a criminal can end for you. Walt has death, Jesse has freedom, so it would only be fitting that Saul will get prison. Walt's story ended with him dying in the place he felt most alive in with a smile on his face. Jesse's story ended with him ending up in the place where he can get a second chance at life with a smile on his face. Saul's story will end with him ending up in the place he helped others avoid for his entire life, and he probably won't be happy about it.

*** Actually, Saul was asking Walt and Jesse if it was ''Lalo'' that send them, and pinned the blame on Nacho/Ignacio. That said, the "Mexican national" referenced by Hank is explained in Season 3 as Tuco stabbed a guy in prison off-screen, something Hector [[VillainousBreakdown isn't happy about]].




** Confirmed on season 3 episode 5.

He plans on getting Tuco off meth, but since Tuco is still a violent meth fiend by the time of BB, it's pretty safe to say that he dies before he can do so.

[[WMG: Gene will be put in prison.]]
Walt and Jesse's ending were both fitting and karmic. Walt started ''Breaking Bad'' knowing he was going to die sooner or later. And, to conclude his arc of having control over his life after decades of being pushed around, something his ego couldn't tolerate, he died on his own terms, gaining control over his life one final time and finally delivering what was set up since the first episode - His death. Jesse, who has atoned for his crimes (both by trying to do the right thing by putting Walt in jail, and serving his time during the months he spend as a slave) and needed/wanted to "get a life" and do what he loves, is given freedom and a second chance thanks to Badger, Skinny Pete, Ed and, in a way, Walt.

Saul and Kim's scheme will involve Saul dressing like Howard, just like he did for that billboard photo in Season 1. Lalo, in his quest for revenge, will spot Saul dressed like this; when he goes to kill Saul, he will run into Howard instead and mistake him for Saul, and kill him.

Adding two theories related to the Salamanca family.


I know it feels a bit too cheap and convenient to simply have Kim "in the background" in ''Breaking Bad'', but there are clues that suggest she would be the right woman for the job. Jimmy is good at the "face to face" con, but Kim is the back room operator... she has the work ethic, attention to detail and mindset to run the back room operation. She is the Bernie Madoff, and her whiter than white (in terms of her ethics) image would certainly help her as all banks, etc., would have their guard down when dealing with her, whereas Saul would raise instant red flags.

Now Saul's sleazy and self-interested ''Breaking Bad'' behavior might still be a tough nut to crack if they take this route, any way the writers want to skate around it, since ''Breaking Bad'' never dwelled much into Saul's personal life, to the point that we didn't even know he had a brother let alone a wife until ''Better Call Saul'' came out. That being said, looking only at ''Better Call Saul'' it makes the most sense, because Jimmy attaining the success he has as Saul without Kim helping him would be like if Gus and Mike suddenly stopped working together and yet somehow Gus was able to reach the height of his success on his own. The Jimmy and Kim that have been characterized in ''Better Call Saul'' are the complimentary pieces to each other that are necessary for them both to achieve in the Albuquerque underworld.

[[WMG:Kim running Ice Station Zebra Associates]]
Jimmy's got Ice Station Zebra Associates as the name of his holding company for monetary purposes in ''Breaking Bad''. And Kim has very intimate knowledge of the banking system due to her work with Mesa Verde. So it makes sense that she would know exactly how to "hide" money, how to potentially create fake bank accounts, etc. While we see her mainly dealing with issues such as property acquisition etc., she obviously would do a lot of work with regulators, making sure Mesa Verde complied with all sorts of money laundering laws, disclosure requirements, requests from government agencies for records, etc. In other words, she would be able to do quite a bit to pass money through a bank to clean it...

While many fans have posited theories over Kim leaving Jimmy, their impromptu marriage and everything that's happened since says that we're past the point of divorce. If ''Better Call Saul'' existed in a vacuum, it wouldn't make sense for either of them to leave each other, because now that Kim has embraced getting her hands dirty, and they work at their best as a team. Obviously it's a bit of a conundrum, because we know how Saul behaves in ''Breaking Bad''...but something suggests Kim might be helping to facilitate the strip mall in the background of ''Breaking Bad'', even though it's hard to picture definitively given what we know. I'm not discounting Saul Goodman as a lawyer, but time and again, ''Better Call Saul'' has emphasized that while Jimmy has the legal mind that is best used as a salesman to spin a narrative (which certainly makes him a great trial lawyer), Kim is more of that details oriented, meticulous type of lawyer, both of which are separate types of lawyers that Walt would need together in his own drug enterprise. In the context of what's been shown in the first five seasons of ''Better Call Saul'', I have a hard time seeing Saul as the sole operator of his criminal enterprise.
