“Shhhhh. Let’s talk.”Those were the last words that we heard at the Season 6 Mid-season Finale Better Call SaulRight after Lalo Salamanca shot Howard Hamlin, the words were spoken. Lalo directed those words at Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler as they were mid-freakout — a natural reaction, of course, when one sees a professional acquaintance murdered in front of them.
Viewers had a similar freak out, to be fair. Because one of the big questions hanging over tonight’s highly anticipated return of the show is: Just what the heck is Lalo planning?
We’ll find out soon enough, now that the final run of Breaking Bad‘s fantastic prequel series gets underway tonight. And we’You can find all details about the next episodes here Better Call SaulBelow is Season 6, Part 2.

The big questions
Between now and the end, there is something to look forward too Better Call Saulfinale August features the confirmed return to Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Peter Gould, show co-creator, has provided some insight before you assume anything. this intriguing tidbitA new interview:
“We did say that you would see Walt and Jesse. I don’t know that I definitely said it was going to be Aaron and Bryan,”Gould teased cryptically, referring to Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Perhaps that means we’ll see a younger version of Walter when he’s still a high school teacher, and when Jesse is still a student in his class?
For many fans, meanwhile, the biggest question has to do with Jimmy’s girlfriend Kim. Her fate in the future Breaking Bad universe. She doesn’t appear at all in the latter, which is to say she’s either dead or there’s some reason she’s kept away from Jimmy for the entirety of the latter show. Is she in jail, perhaps, maybe taking the fall over the Sandpiper scam somehow — or, worse, because of Howard’s death?
As far as Lalo’s plans: As a reminder, he was apparently about to make a run on Gus Fring’s operation in the mid-season finale, when he decided to first call his uncle Hector Salamanca. Hector is currently recovering from a stroke at a nursing facility. Lalo heard clicks and realized that Gus’ right-hand man Mike Ehrmantraut had tapped the phone. Consequently, Lalo tells Hector his (faux) plan, knowing that Gus’ people are listening.
The final game
In response, Mike pulls all of the Fring organization’s security away from everyone and everything except Fring himself. They believe that Lalo is heading straight for the chicken man. In reality, we now know that Mike’s move left Jimmy and Kim exposed. Mike’s guys had previously been keeping an eye on them, in case Lalo surfaced.
Lalo, with Jimmy and Kim not protected, can simply waltz into their apartment. I believe he is trying to use Jimmy to make Lalo as a Trojan horse, to get him close to the Fring organization or inside it. This will allow him to set his ultimate goal in motion. Hopefully, Lalo helping Kim shuffle off her mortal coil won’t be part of that equation.
