Warning: SPOILERS for Better Call Saul season 6, episode 11.
Better Call Saul has confirmed that Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) is still alive after the events of Breaking Bad, but what does this mean for the remaining episodes?

She had quit her job as an attorney and ended her destructive and toxic relationship with Jimmy, which completed his transition into Breaking Bad's Saul Goodman.
Since then, nothing has been seen or heard of Kim until Jimmy takes a call from his former secretary Francesca in the opening scenes of Better Call Saul season 6, episode 11.
