When we see the present day Jimmy/Saul at the Cinnabon, he doesn't know that WW is dead, or does he? We are seeing the cracks in him as he yells out to the perp to get a lawyer. In BB, WW goes from good to bad to trying to make amends before he dies. Will Jimmy/Saul follow that as well I wonder? WW finally admits to Skyler that he liked what he was doing, did it for himself, and that he was good at it. Will Jimmy/Saul come to that realization? Such a fascinating show to watch.

"Gene"/Jimmy/Saul would have to know that WW is dead......it would have been huge news. TV, newspapers, etc.

Watching the grifters con their dad is more then likely how Jimmy learned how to con others.
Their dad shushed Jimmy up when he was trying to alert him that he was being conned, which more then likely taught Jimmy that people willingly turn a blind eye to being conned.

Jimmy had the perfect opportunity to con the oldies he was doing wills for, it does happen often in real life, yet he never conned them. Up until Jimmy turned full Saul, he did seem to have a limit on who he would con and for how much.

I would suspect that the fathers money trouble came more from him allowing himself to be taken in by grifters then from Jimmy copping a few bucks here and there. Of course Chuck is going to ignore the fact that their dad was a soft touch to anyone who walked in the door, just so that he can lay the blame their dad's woes on Jimmy.

We excuse Jimmy, but, it appears we know for a fact Chucks motivations. I for one don't feel a need to excuse Jimmy's behavior, I know all kinds of people who have good half bad hearts who leave a path of wrecked human souls in their wake. Jimmy's no more saint or of better heart than his brother, they both have their faults. I don't think Chuck is a great guy either, but seems everyone makes excuses for his poor behaviors.

Maybe, but "Gene" (thanks for reminding me his new name, I couldn't think of it) and WW left the vacuum repair shop at different times. WW ended up in New Hampshire for ??? how long? And Gene/Saul went to Nebraska. It's unclear the amount of time that they've both been away.

Just to rattle Chuck and knock him off his game.

Yep, you were right. I thought of you when she said that.

The only thing that I'm confused by is Mike's granddaughter's age.
I thought of that while I was watching last weeks epi. I don't remember how old Kaylee was in BB, but she was pretty young.

Very true. If you remember, Breaking Bad began on Walter White's 50th birthday, ran for 5 seasons and ended just after his 52nd birthday.


All 5 seasons of Breaking Bad took place over the span of a 2 year period.

I would think he'd have to know. Walter White became a national news story and lead to a national manhunt. Also, Saul knew Walt was dying of lung cancer.

MGS4EVER - WhipperSnapper 88 said essentially what I was going to say. Think about it - if you were Saul/Gene wouldn't you keep close tabs on what was going on with the hunt for Walter White? And........there would always be the chance that if they found/caught WW he might reveal info about Saul, though that would be highly unlikely.

Someone said something about Kaylee Ehrmentraut that reminded me of something:

In BCS she appears to be about 6-8 yrs old
Several yrs later in BB - although it's a different actress - she appears to be the same age when actually she would be a teenager. But the last time we see her she's on a swingset at the park.

Continuity error?

Maybe the last episode will have Kim with her husband and family eating at Cinabon.
