Better Call Saul Season 6, Episode 9 recap: Jimmy is dead

• In Better Call Saul Season 6 Jimmy is dead.
• It has been accustomed to witnessing a character pass away in nearly every episode.
• We also witnessed the departure of none other than Kim Wexler

Better Call Saul over the course of this two-part season has been accustomed to witnessing a character pass away in nearly every episode.

Nacho arrived first, followed by Howard and Lalo. I spent the majority of this week’s episode thinking, “Yes, yes, it’s absolutely normal to take a breath before the big final push” after last week’s explosive, action-packed episode. Let’s pause and remind ourselves of the situation, the players, and the stakes. No significant exits are required tonight.

That one was quickly dashed, just like all expectations in the Breaking Bad Cinematic Universe (BBCU). While we may not have seen anyone get shot, Jimmy McGill’s demise was certainly seen by the audience. He took a long time to gradually become Saul Goodman, and then it all happened at once.

In Better Call Saul we also witnessed the departure of none other than Kim Wexler, though if it turns out to be her last, I’ll throw my remote through plate glass. But shall we begin at the beginning?

There isn’t time for the typical frigid openers that diverge from the main tale timeframe this time. Instead, the episode begins with Jimmy and Kim trying their best to act normally and follow Mike’s directions the morning after Howard’s passing and the horrific encounter with Lalo.

Jimmy and Francesca observe as the sign above Saul Goodman’s office is put up by workmen. Bill Oakley and Kim make a pact over a mediocre cup of coffee from a machine. In the meantime, Mike and his group started removing all traces of evidence from their residence.

When Jimmy and Kim arrive home, nothing seems to have happened. A bizarre miracle has been accomplished. Jimmy tries to encourage them both as Kim sits in bed unable to fall asleep. He says, “One day we’ll wake up, brush our teeth, and go to work, and then all of a sudden we’ll realise: We haven’t thought about it at all—none of it. And then we’ll be aware of it. We’ll be able to remember that.

We are aware of how false this illusion is even while he is speaking it. Kim’s expression alone tells you that she won’t soon forget how she and Jimmy drew Howard into their sinister world. They prepared the ground for his slaying. You may even say that they murdered him.

Once the opening titles have finished, Gus and I are visiting Don Eladio in Mexico. It’s time for another brawl by the same pool where Don Eladio gave Hector the order to assassinate Gus’s colleague, Max, and where, not too long from now, Gus will execute a large number of people by tainting the boss’s tequila.

This is also the first of the episode’s two instances where fact-checking falls short of revealing the truth. Gus and Mike are maniacal planners who cover every conceivable possibility when they run an operation, so when Don Eladio asks the Cousins and Juan Bolsa to confirm details related to Gus’s story, they all confirm it—not because Gus is telling the truth but rather because he and Mike cover every conceivable base.

In the same way, Cheryl’s attempts to convince Cliff to refute Kim’s untrue assertions about Howard’s drug use in the scene with his widow fail because Jimmy and Kim were having too much “fun” setting the groundwork and planning for every possibility.

According to anecdotal evidence, Carmy is that something for the majority of viewers. With his tattoos, wild hair, intense demeanour, and arms, he has sparked in spectators an almost animalistic obsession. There have been numerous fervent tweets about it, including some (many) passionate rhapsodies regarding his aura.

Until pals, especially in the The Bear group chat, informed White about the thirst, he was unaware of it. Richie’s wisecracking on-screen counterpart Ebon Moss-Bachrach, in particular, has been loving it.

Other co-stars, such Marcus the baker’s Lionel Boyce, attempt to divert the conversation for him. Lionel said, “Have you listened to the new Brent Faiyaz?” in response to something that happened the other day. White reflects, imitating Boyce’s humble plea for mercy.

White had portrayed Lip Gallagher on Shameless, a role that sparked a similar yearning, before The Bear. (And who, like Carmy, hails from Chicago and is a troubled bad guy.) He claims that Shameless has always been overtly sexual. “I knew going into it that they wanted to see these characters and how they were sexually.” The Bear, though, seemed to be a change of pace. He explains, “I was like, this programme is not about that. “That won’t draw any attention to it. And that surprises me.
