As part of abandoning the monster that he has become, Jimmy bares his deepest and darkest secrets while under oath. This is meant to convince not just Kim, but also the audience, that Jimmy is sincere about seeking redemption for his crimes.
Even though Jimmy tries to be optimistic in his talk with Kim, the reality is that he received an 86-year sentence for his crimes in Breaking Bad. This was designed to give Jimmy no way out since he fully confessed to everything in Better Call Saul's finale, which means any future deals are off the table.
The Better Call Saul ending saw Jimmy's life as Gene Takavic in Omaha finally exposed, as he was arrested and faced justice for being an accomplice in Walter White's crimes. Better Call Saul season 6 also saw the final days of Jimmy and Kim's relationship.
He was going inside only for 7 years,why did he foolishly confess all of his activities? Because he needed Kim to see he could be better. That he could take responsibiility for what they did and not be Slipping Jimmy. He kind of kept going back and forth between Jimmy McGill and Slipping Jimmy or Saul in the show.
Whether Kim Wexler lived or died was a key question heading into Better Call Saul's final season, but the show's ending made her survival inevitable. Kim Wexler's Better Call Saul ending could have gone a number of ways, but the ending of Jimmy McGill's story meant she was too valuable to die.
In reality, Saul never intended to get his prison sentence reduced. Abandoning his previous lies, Saul confesses to the court about his pivotal role in building Walt's drug empire in Breaking Bad, even stating for the record that he wants to be recognized as James McGill.
Because he was no longer Saul Goodman. That's it, that's the explanation. Saul Goodman negotiated the mother of all plea deals, 7 years for enabling and aiding every crime Walter White committed for two years, including several murders, poisoning children, bombing an old folk's home, etc.
Jimmy confesses to all the crimes he was accused of and more, and even absolves Kim from her potential civil suit by telling the court that she was never involved in Hamlin's death.
The ending of Better Call Saul proves that Kim loves both Saul Goodman and Jimmy McGill. Kim embraces the opposing sides of her on-screen beau, appreciating each persona for very different reasons. Kim and Jimmy have a lengthy history with one another, and they always have each other's backs.
With Kim's encouragement, Jimmy started a solo practice after HHM decided against hiring him as an associate. During the period leading up to the events of Better Call Saul, Kim and Jimmy are shown to have developed a close personal relationship, which eventually turns romantic.
“Better Call Saul” ended Monday night with an ending very different than the way that “Breaking Bad” concluded. No shootout, just Jimmy McGill behind bars. But as Jimmy and ex-wife Kim Wexler reconnect, in many ways it's also a much more hopeful conclusion.
He confesses to enabling Walt and admits his role in Chuck's suicide. He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul. Kim is allowed to visit him under false pretenses and they share a cigarette.
Kim is the last person left alive to whom Jimmy has to prove himself, and so he devises one last scheme to get her into the room. Ultimately, Better Call Saul gives a happy ending to Kim and Jimmy by proving to Kim that she was right about her ex-husband all along.
Kim's effortless ability to spin untruths and manipulate people, and her glee in doing so, all proves too much for her. She tells Jimmy that they are bad for one another—that the chaos they've created together is too much for her conscience, despite having “the time of [her] life” doing it.
When he was introduced in Breaking Bad season 2, he had just turned 48 years old, and by the end of the show, while he is packing his bags for Omaha to live out his nightmare of managing a Cinnabon, he is 49 years old.
He no longer sees himself as Saul Goodman, but the inmates he's riding with to the prison don't see it that way. As they chant “Better Call Saul!” in a display of respect to the once criminal lawyer, Jimmy simply looks on, knowing that he's made peace with himself, yet everyone else will remember him for what he did.
As Jimmy fully embraces his Saul Goodman persona and Kim becomes more involved in criminal activities, their paths diverge, leading to their eventual separation and divorce, with Kim realizing that their toxic relationship prevents her from fulfilling her ideals.
“That's the thing that Kim says in Episode 8. [Jimmy] says, 'But I love you. ' And it's the first time he's ever said it. And she says, 'I love you, too.
Although in the first season it seemed that he was initially supportive of Jimmy, Chuck harbored resentful feelings toward him because of his conman past and charisma, in addition to Jimmy's approach to his career. From the second season onward, Chuck transforms into Jimmy's nemesis.
The confrontation contributes to Kim's breakdown, but it isn't the sole reason she hysterically cries on the bus. More than that, it is the culmination of guilt, grief, and the realization that whatever life she built in Albuquerque really is gone.
Chuck's motivation for his subterfuge is jealousy and insecurity. He is jealous that Jimmy was their parents' favorite and after the loss of their parents and the split from his wife, he feels like his career is all that he has left to offer.
Saul's leadership as a failure of leadership was coloured by stories that highlighted Saul 's selfishness: Saul waging war without God's command and seeking to prove he was great (1 Samuel 13:1-4), out of ambition, willing to sacrifice others (1 Samuel 14:45), his deep hatred (1 Samuel 20:32-33), seeking praise ( 1 ...
Everywhere he turns, there are cops. After hiding in a dumpster, Saul tries to dig out a phone to call Ed the Disappearer, but he fumbles everything he's holding and the police find him. Saul lands in a prison cell, where he calls his Cinnabon co-workers to tell them they'll need to find a new manager.
Jimmy (Saul) opted to take his money and run rather than take a chance. He already lived most of a life as someone else, he just would have to start over again minus the fame.
