‘Better Call Saul’ Spoilers: Season 3, Episode 2 Synopsis, Promo And Sneak Peek Released Online [VIDEO]
Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) may not have been in an orange jumpsuit in the Season 3 premiere of AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” but his brother Chuck (Michael McKean) was certainly close to implementing a plan that would make him pay for his actions.
Episode 1 kicked off with Chuck playing his slippery brother’s recorded confession of committing a felon to his partner Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian). Although Howard admitted his sibling screwed them over, he pointed out that the recording will be inadmissible in court. They can’t use it. But Chuck has a plan to use it.
Meanwhile, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) spent much of the season premiere finding a tracking device in his car. He eventually found it in the fuel cap. The smart man that he is, the former cop decided to drain the batteries and force them to replace it. Then, using another device, he tracked the people who put the tracker in his car.

Elsewhere, Jimmy’s girlfriend Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) fretted over a semicolon in a Mesa Verde document.
What will happen next week in “Better Call Saul”?
Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) may not have reared his head in episode 1, but he will surely make an appearance in episode 2. After all, Mike is on his way to realizing that he is the one tracking his movements. The former “Breaking Bad” actor told TVGuide, “Season 3 is really developing some relationships that are going to bear a lot of their fruit in Season 4. Of course, Gus Fring is back, which is really wonderful for me to be back with the family.”
Vince Gilligan, the creator and executive producer of “Better Call Saul,” told Entertainment Weekly that Gus will be similar to his “Breaking Bad” persona. While Mike and Jimmy/Saul aren’t yet similar to their future selves, the Los Pollos Hermanos owner will be very recognizable. The creator teased, “I’m not saying he’s exactly the same guy — he’s at a different point in his career, it’s an earlier stage — but I think it occurred to us we didn’t want to see him too early in the fumbling beginnings of his career because he’s just so cool.”
Peter Gould, the co-creator of the AMC series, also revealed to EW that being partnered with Jimmy is going to cause Kim to make some profound decisions. She does love a walk on the wild side sometimes, but, unlike Jimmy, she does feel conflicted conning people and breaking the law afterwards.
The synopsis of episode 2, titled “Witness,” reads, “Jimmy and Kim hire an assistant; Mike seeks out a mysterious acquaintance; Chuck uses the law to gain an advantage over Jimmy.”
