Better Call Saul Season 6 Director On Kim's Massive Decision
WARNING: Spoilers ahead for Better Call Saul season 6
Better Call Saul season 6 director and executive producer Michael Morris breaks down Kim Wexler's monumental decision from episode 9, «Fun and Games.» After an extended hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic and star Bob Odenkirk's health scare, the beloved Breaking Bad prequel returned to small screens on AMC in April. The first half of the season follows two separate storylines which converge in dramatic fashion during the Better Call Saul midseason finale, when Lalo Salamanca enters Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler's apartment and shockingly murders Howard Hamlin.
Written by Ann Cherkis and directed by Morris, the recently aired episode 9 picks up soon after the Better Call Saul season 6B premiere, which finally saw Gus kill Lalo in the underground superlab construction site. The morning after, Mike Ehrmantraut and his men clean up after Howard's death while Jimmy and Kim resume their regular lives as lawyers. The couple later attend a memorial for Howard at HHM, where they continue to push their cover story for his death. Throughout the episode, Kim does not appear to be handling the guilt very well and during its final moments, she surrenders her law license and leaves Jimmy, deciding they are too destructive as a couple.
