'Better Call Saul' Season 6 Theory: Kim's Dark Turn

KEY POINTS

Kim may die in "Better Call Saul" Season 6
Jimmy may try and protect Kim
Lo may be the one who kills Kim

“Better Call Saul” Season 6 will be the last for the popular spin-off series as it will connect the story to the main “Breaking Bad” show. According to a new theory, the dark turn that Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) has taken will play out on the show when it returns.

Kim has been an important part of Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) life in the spin-off, but she wasn’t there in “Breaking Bad.” The recent events in the TV series have hinted at the reason why the character may not make it out alive when this part of Jimmy’s life ends.

One of the scenes in Season 5 set the stage for Kim’s future when she told Jimmy her plan to do something dark to get back at Howard (Patrick Fabian). According to a theory by Screen Rant, she will take action on this plan and that will have serious consequences on Jimmy.

If Kim does anything illegal and gets caught, Jimmy may be the one who will step up and take the blame in order to save her. The other possibility is that her actions will force Jimmy to accept his new life as Saul Goodman.

As far as the question of Kim surviving in “Better Call Saul” Season 6 is concerned, she has already set herself up by meeting Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton). The character will be looking for revenge, and one of the people he will go after is Jimmy.

One of the scenes in the “Breaking Bad” series showed Saul telling his kidnappers that it was Nacho’s (Michael Mando) fault. While the spin-off series has started to connect the dots, it still needs to explain why Jimmy blamed Nacho, Screen Rant reported.

With the spin-off catching up with the “Breaking Bad” timeline, there may be a few more characters from the main series who may be featured in Season 6. So far, the characters from the main series who have appeared include Mike (Jonathan Banks), Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), Hank (Dean Norris), Steven Gomez ((Steven Michael Quezada), Krazy-8, Don Eladio (Steven Bauer), and Juan Bolsa (Javier Grajeda), Screen Rant reported.

“Better Call Saul” Season 6 is scheduled to air in 2021.
