Better Call Saul Season 6 Turns A Season 1 Scene Into A Genius Running Gag
Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Better Call Saul season 6, episodes 1 and 2.
Better Call Saul season 6 brought back two familiar characters from the show's first season, thus turning a simple season 1 scene into a genius running gag. TheBreaking Bad spinoff's final season sees Saul (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim (Rhea Seehorn) attempt to frame Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) for «something unforgivable» and get a hefty settlement in the process. This brings them to crook couple Betsy (Julie Ann Emery) and Craig Kettleman (Jeremy Shamos), and their tense reunion is filled with references to the first season.
In Better Call Saul season 1, Jimmy met Craig Kettleman, a former Bernalillo County treasurer who was guilty of embezzling $1.6 million. His controlling wife, Betsy, was adamant about their innocence, even after she and Jimmy played tug-of-war over their bag of stolen cash. Eventually, Kim manages to get them a plea deal so that Craig spends only 16 months in prison, and Jimmy forces them (through one of his very first complex scams) to take it. In Better Call Saul season 6, as Saul and Kim plan Howard's demise, they look for someone to convince Clifford Main (Ed Begley Jr.) that Howard is a cocaine addict. But it can't be someone Cliff takes too seriously — this would risk him taking the case and discovering it's all Jimmy and Kim's scam. Enter Craig and Betsy.
