Giancarlo Esposito, director of Better Call Saul season 6 episode 6, explains Kim's decision at the end of the episode. The series is in its final season, consisting of 13 episodes that will be split into two halves, with the penultimate episode of the first half, titled «Axe and Grind,» marking Esposito's directorial debut. Esposito portrays fast food chain owner and drug kingpin Gustavo Fring in the series, who was noticeably absent in the episode — instead, it focused more on the other main characters, particularly the married couple of Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler.

When the luncheon occurs on the day her ruse is supposed to be enacted, and a subsequent, unexpected wrench in her plan develops, Kim is faced with a choice on her way over to the meeting.
