Saul Gone
Gene runs but the police find him. He calls Bill Oakley, the attorney whom he regularly saw when he was working in Albuquerque. Oakley agrees to defend him. Saul gets a sweetheart deal despite the mountain of crimes with which they have charged him. Saul is riding high until he learns that Kim confessed to their role in discrediting Howard. Kim learns about what Jimmy has done and flies to Albuquerque for the the sentencing hearing.
Saul sees Kim in the courtroom and changes his testimony on the spot. He confesses to quite a bit and claims full responsibility in the matter of the smearing of Howard's good name. He was only going to serve eight years in a minimum security facility, according to the terms of the plea arrangement. His sentence is changed after his performance at the sentencing hearing and his sentence is increased to 86 years in a maximum security prison.
There are three flashbacks in this episode. The episode opened with one that featured Jimmy and Mike. The second one feature Saul and Walter. The third one featured Jimmy and Chuck. The subject of time travel came up in all three of them.
Marion appears briefly in this episode but only in the first scene that was set in Omaha. Jeff does not appear in this episode.
Marie Schrader appeared in two scenes in this episode. It was her first and only appearance in Better Call Saul. There were a few other characters who made return appearances in this episode that had not been seen in quite some time.
This is one of those episodes that describing in detail would pale in comparison to the experience of watching it. It was much better than the three previous episodes. It was a bit of a slog to get through those three in order to get to this one. It was, in retrospect, worth it but I wasn't so sure that it would be before I watched this episode. I think it was considerably more satisfying this way than it would have been if they had not brought Jimmy and Kim back together again.
