* HarsherInHindsight: Creator/BobOdenkirk had a heart attack during filming of the previous episode "Point and Shoot." When Odenkirk returned to action, instead of finishing off scenes from that episode, he began work on scenes from "Fun and Games." So, before being involved in a episode where Saul's heart was being ''metaphorically'' broken by Kim's departure, the actor was recovering from having his heart ''literally'' broken.

This indicates this could be where he broke bad himself, fully taking those words to heart and embracing his lot in life as a criminal.
