Better Call Saul Season 6's Big Deaths Are GOOD News For Kim
Caution: spoilers ahead for Better Call Saul season 6
Kim Wexler fans should feel heartened by others' misfortune after Better Call Saul season 6 drops two major deaths — neither of which involve Rhea Seehorn's character. Better Call Saul's final season promised blood and violence on a previously unseen scale and, frankly, over-delivered with two absolutely massive kills. Episode 3 («Rock & Hard Place») brought an end to Michael Mando's Nacho Varga, who took his own life after falsely confessing to the assassination attempt on Lalo Salamanca. Then, in Better Call Saul season 6, episode 7 («Plan & Execution»), a returning Lalo creeps from the shadows of Kim's apartment to put a bullet through the brain of a wrong-place-wrong-time Howard Hamlin.
Very few viewers would've expected Better Call Saul's end chapter to go this heavy on bloodshed. A quartet of character fates remained unanswered heading into season 6 — Nacho, Howard, Lalo, and Kim. None of the above feature in Breaking Bad (set only 4 years later), leaving Better Call Saul to explain what became of this missing foursome. Two of those boxes have now been ticked, leaving question marks over just Lalo Salamanca and Kim Wexler, but do the deaths we've witnessed so far prove Kim will be okay?

Gus looks to be planning his final
