** Gets ''even more worse'' by the time we revisit the scene from [[spoiler:"Breaking Bad" ([[Recap/BetterCallSaulS6E11BreakingBad the episode]]), after hearing once from Mike that Lalo is dead, even when Mike informs him that he ''actually'' is dead this time, Saul is too paranoid to believe him, thinking he and his cartel can drop in and kill him anytime they like.]]

** Saul's FreakOut during Jesse and Walt's plan to scare him stops being comical and becomes disturbing after you watch the prequel/spin-off ''Series/BetterCallSaul''. First the skateboarding twins and Tuco in the episode "[[Recap/BetterCallSaulS1E2Mijo Mijo]]" and then the whole plot involving Lalo in Season 5. What at first seemed like Saul simply fearing for his life is actually Saul thinking Lalo's men have decided to finally kill him, especially after he says that whatever they think he did, Ignacio (Nacho Varga) was the real one to blame.

* HarsherInHindsight: Saul's line, "Conscience gets expensive, doesn't it?" seems a lot more knowing on his part when you know that [[spoiler: years ago, Saul AKA Jimmy had [[Recap/BetterCallSaulS1E7Bingo come into possession of enough money to set him up for life]], but returned it to its rightful owner because it was "the right thing". The line actually comes from Mike saying the exact same thing to Jimmy after he gives the money up.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: Badger realizes he's probably getting set up as part of a drug sting when he notices what look like surveillance vehicles parked nearby, and the customer he's selling to is a little confident in himself.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' He'd walk away and go back later for the drugs.\\
'''Instead:''' Badger being [[TooDumbToLive Badger]], the undercover cop manages to get him to fall for the old [[MustStateIfYoureACop "undercover cops can't deny that they are cops when asked directly" urban legend]].\\
'''As a Result:''' Badger goes through with the deal and is promptly arrested.
