The midseason finale of Better Call Saul season 6 left us with a shocking moment, and from this,
the wait for the last 6 episodes in July is going to be even more painful. But when it
does return, what could we see happen in the show come it's ending and how will we pick up
from the climax of episode 7. In this video, I'm going to be discussing my early predictions
and theories surrounding the big questions of Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2. But before

further a do, lets dive into my predictions for Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2.
So series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould gave us a truly jaw-dropping cliffhanger ending
to the Better Call Saul mid-season finale, and now have to wait until July for the last
6 episodes. But while we find a way to let the time pass, we can start to theorise and predict
what will happen in those final episodes and discuss how Saul Goodman's story will come to
an end. Now we know that we next meet Jimmy in Breaking Bad season 2, so the final episodes of
Better Call Saul need to link into the person he is in that timeline, but then also, we
need to keep in mind that we have the future timeline of Jimmy living as Gene, the identity
he takes up in Omaha, Nebraska during the black-and-white prologues in previous seasons.
So what could that explosive ending in Episode 7 mean going forward. Well of course,
Lalo showed up at Jimmy and Kim's apartment in the final scene of that episode, and claimed that he
has just come to talk to his lawyers, and when Howard realises it may be a good idea to listen
to Kim and leave, Lalo shoots him in the head. With Howard dead on the floor, it all ends
with Lalo saying "let's talk". So what could we see in the next few episodes regarding what
happened. Well, I think that Jimmy and Kim are going to have to give Lalo some information,
and I think that this will be everything that Jimmy knows in regards to Mike, Gus and the
events of Season 5. Jimmy will also probabaly not like that Kim kept secret the fact that Lalo
was still alive and I think things will definitely get heated. But they've still got the problem
of Howard's dead body in their apartment to sort out and I think after telling what he
wants to know, the Salamanca will leave them to clean up the mess. Jimmy and Kim may have
to clean up after lalo, meaning they bury Howard and have to cover up everything that happened
making it seem like a suicide. With the help of Mike and this being his first clean up, it
would be the next logical way to go. And this could work in one way or the other, because
Howard was literally just made to look crazy at HHM, so I think intially, it's believable. But
you may ask how does this impact the central characters, do they just move on and could
this lead to something else down the line. Well I think the death and cover up of Howard
would essentially represent the lowest point for them in this show, and having
just tried to burn his reputation, I feel like they will face the consequences to the extreme
and feel the full effects of what they previously did. And I think this could ultimately lead to the
feds being on them, and the only way to escape it could come in a moment of
desperation. Maybe Kim could create a story and take the fall for his death. I think this could
explain her being missing in Breaking Bad and it could also add to why Gene chose to not use that
call in the last black and white scene as a way to forge another new identy. Instead,
he could not be running anymore, and this would fit with his line in that last flash
forward scene, where he says he'll "take care of it himself". Maybe this is the moment where
he realises that he needs to finally deal with the consequences of breaking the law,
and owning up to the history of Slippin Jimmy. Maybe he thinks that Kim deserves the second
chance at a new life and not him. And that would maybe fit in line with what Howard was saying just
before he was killed. The way he stated that Jimmy has always been this way but
that Kim was one of the good ones that he didn't expect to be like him. So what if this is leaning
into where the show is going in the end, the idea that jimmy hands himself in or even devises a plan
to claim that Kim was covering for him. His Gene identity is already in trouble,
and by helping Kim and giving her a chance to be the one with a future, would be the happier
ending in mind. And not to mention that the teaser trailer for Season 6 Part 2 included
black and white footage of Kim and Jimmy's apartment, with Jimmy saying "so, after all that,
a happy ending". Of course not entirely happy but I think it would be Jimmy McGill owning up
and making peace with himself, and finally then helping Kim. It would further allow for us to
have a scene between Gene and Kim in that future timeline and really bring the shows
events to a close. They could of course go the other route and have her disappear with the new
identity, which is based on that tease of the black book from a few episodes ago, but I think
it would be very predictable. I guess it could still happen if Jimmy get's her out of jail,
and then she get's a new identity to start fresh, but if Jimmy does it the right way then
would it really call for a new identity. Again, she may not even go to jail and this is just
me theorising, but I do think they will go another route over just having her dissapear,
especially when she's so involved and wants to help Jimmy in this current timeline. The only
way to change that, would be for her to get arrested and take the fall for Howard's death
over Jimmy, and then the last few episodes would involve Jimmy returning the favour and doing the
right thing in the process. But yeah, we'll have to see and like many things,
they could really go in any direction. So you may also be asking, how does the Lalo
Salamanca situation resolve. Of course in Episode 7, Lalo emerges from the sewers in the road
opposite the Launderette owned by Gus Fring. We know that beneath is a massive room that will one
day house the high-tech superlab where Walter White and Jesse Pinkman will make crystal
meth for Gus. Lalo is yet to discover what Gus is up to, so he's watching the launderette
and the men hired to protect what's inside. Now we know that Lalo is mentioned in Breaking Bad
in the Better Call Saul episode when Jesse and Walt kidnap Saul Goodman and
take him out to the desert. He proceeds to mention Nacho and Lalo, thinking it was them who had him
kidnapped, which could be telling us that by the end of Better Call Saul's current events,
Lalo could still be alive. But I think that maybe because the events with Lalo are so brutal
that maybe Saul thought that was the fall back of it. I do think that Lalo will be killed this
season and if I had to guess it's going to all come down to a confrontation in the meth lab
prior to Jesse and Walt cooking there. I think it would be poetic if Mike, Gus or both of them
do kill Lalo there, maybe using the gun that Gus hid in the previous episode. And they could
also bury him below. It's the perfect place to hide a body, and rewatching Breaking Bad
knowing that Lalo is buried under the meth lab that Walter and Jessie work at, is the very thing
that would call for a disturbing reference on a second viewing. Whatever happens though,
I think that Lalo's impact is going to be a long-lasting one, whether it be that he created
extreme problems for Jimmy and Kim with Howard's body or that he almost discovered the base which
would become the prime location that Gus uses for cooking Meth during the later seasons of Breaking
Bad. That's just my brief prediction, but honestly, they've done it
so well up to this point in a way that again, makes it so unpredictable.
And speaking of the meth lab, this leads us to Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. We
know that Jesse and Walt are going to make an appearance at some point in the last 6 episodes,
and series writer Peter Gould has stated that it won't be in the way we expect it to. Now we know
that the most likely way of Jesse popping up, could take form through him having a
legal issue and eventually having to hire a criminal lawyer that he originally introduced
to Walt. But if it's going to be unpredictable and dramatically earned, like Peter Gould has
pointed to, how could they fit in the show that way. Well at the minute, I think it's very hard
to guess how, but what I will say is that I think were going to see them in the penultimate
episode. That one is being written and directed by Vince Gilligan and it would make sense that
if they were going to do an episode during the events of Breaking Bad, that it could be
this one. What we could see is in the next 4 episodes is the conclusion of the current Better
Call Saul events. Then in the penultimate one the events that take place during Breaking Bad
and something that reframes how we feel about Saul Goodman. And then of course the final
episode could be completely Gene focussed after the events in Breaking Bad. That's what I think
and you could have Walt and Jesse being introduced in a way that pushes forward the story of Saul
during those events. It has to focus on him and not feel like they've hijacked the show.
But Vince is great at this stuff so I fully trust his writing when it comes to re-introducing these
characters. And what's not to say that we see Jesse at the end of episode 11,
meeting Saul for the first time and then that would give the perfect springboard into the
penultimate episode where we go forward to the events of Breaking Bad with Vince Gilligan. It
will be really interesting to see how they handle it,
but again, I have faith that they will use it to focus on Saul and his story going forward.
And yes I think that this will lead us to the finale which will be a whole episode
on Gene Takovic. Like I said at the start of this video, I predict it will all lead to a climatic
episode of Jimmy trying to help Kim, and in the process, owning up for all of his wrongdoings.
Breaking Bad gave us someone who died his own way doing the thing he enjoyed, but with
Saul, we've always had the sense of someone who would either con his way out to a happy ending
or face the consequences. The consequences have always been teased and the death of Howard
and Lalo returning in episode 7 is the latest in a long line of them. The opening scene of
season 6 was a flash forward to his property being raided after the larger investigation
into Walter White's criminal activity, and Better Call Saul needs to give Gene the last word
because that is the complete ending for Jimmy McGill. Whatever happens with Gene will
ultimately be where Jimmy ends up. He goes from Jimmy to saul, to Gene and I predict he
will eventually go back to Jimmy. But the Jimmy I predict we'll see is someone ready to own up
and in doing that, help Kim and give her a future. The show has hinted at Kim being successful and
making opportunities, just like we saw of her in Episode 6, but then she turned around
and came straight back to help Jimmy. So what if in the final episode both Jimmy and Kim,
break that loop of always turning to bad choice road. What if they fully reedeem themselves in
this happy ending that the new teaser trailer indicates. There's still loss and Jimmy goes down,
but in the end he becomes truly honest and the respectable Jimmy McGill comes into the
light. It could of course go the complete opposite direction to this, but I think
it would be fitting and they wouldn't wanna just repeat things that they did in Breaking Bad. The
connection between Jimmy and Kim has been at the heart of this show since the very beginning
and I think ending it in that Gene timeline with them both being at the very centre, is the
way to go. But I'm ready for Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould to completely destroy my
predictions with something crazy, and hopefully whatever route they go, it will all work out.
But they were my thoughts and predictions for Better Call Saul Season 6 Part 2. Again is
going to be quite the wait to see which route they actually take with the end of Better Call Saul,
but after how good that first half was, I'm extremely excited to see what they will do.
They've made a prequel show about Saul Goodman so unpredictable and consistent in it's quality,
and that just shows how great the writting has been
throughout this show. We'll soon get our answers, and hopefully the showrunners can nail the ending,
just like they did with Breaking Bad. But let me know down below in the
comments section, what are your predictions and theories are surrounding the final 6 episodes.
