List of episodes

"Saul Gone"is theseries finaleof the Americanlegalcrime dramatelevision seriesBetter Call Saul,which is aspin-offofBreaking Bad.The episode is the thirteenth episode of thesixth seasonand the series' 63rd episode overall. Written and directed byPeter Gould,who co-created the series withVince Gilligan,the episode first aired onAMCandAMC+on August 15, 2022, before debuting online in certain territories onNetflixthe following day.

"Saul Gone" is primarily set in late 2010, withflashbacksset duringBreaking BadandBetter Call Saul.It depictsJimmy McGill(Bob Odenkirk) facing the consequences of the conflicts caused by his three identities: his actions throughoutBetter Call Saulunder his birth name, the federal crimes he committed forWalter White(Bryan Cranston) throughoutBreaking Badas Saul Goodman, and the schemes he ran inOmaha, Nebraska,as Gene Takavic. The episode also sees Jimmy andKim Wexler(Rhea Seehorn) meeting for the first time in six years.

Gould and theBetter Call Saulwriting staff knew the series would end with Jimmy going to prison for his actions inBreaking Badby the time thefifth-season finaleaired in 2020. They sought to differentiate "Saul Gone" fromBreaking Bad's"Felina"(2013) andEl Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie(2019) with a slower pace and greater focus on dialogue. Several actors fromBetter Call SaulandBreaking Badreturned for guest appearances, including Cranston as Walt,Betsy BrandtasMarie Schrader,andMichael McKeanasChuck McGill.

An estimated 1.80 million household viewers watched this episode when it was first broadcast on AMC. "Saul Gone" received acclaim, with critics praising Jimmy's character development and his reconciliation with Kim. Many considered it a "masterful" conclusion to the series and one of the best series finales of all time.[1]Gilligan has stated that "Saul Gone" is likely the last entry in theBreaking Badfranchise,as he and Gould have no plans for further works continuing it.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

"Saul Gone" is theseries finaleforBetter Call Saul,and was written and directed by series co-creator and showrunnerPeter Gould.[6]Gould wrote theBreaking Badepisode "Better Call Saul",which introduced the characterSaul Goodman,and co-created the spin-off withVince Gilligan.[7][8]Gould and Gilligan initially served as co-showrunners before Gilligan left the writers room to focus on other projects, resulting in Gould becoming the sole showrunner.[8]

In the week leading up to the finale, Gilligan stated that the episode would likely be the last entry in theBreaking Badfranchise,as he and Gould were both ready to move on to new stories.[9]Gould later acknowledged that by the timeBreaking Badended, he and Gilligan were already developing the spin-off, but by the timeBetter Call Saul's finale aired, the two were working on other projects.[10]

Casting[edit]

Bob Odenkirk at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con International in San Diego, California.
"Saul Gone" marked the end ofBob Odenkirk's characterSaul Goodman,a role Odenkirk had portrayed since thesecond seasonofBreaking Bad.

Bob Odenkirk,Jonathan Banks,andRhea Seehornare the only cast members listed in the starring credits.[11]Gould considered the finale a mix of the world ofBetter Call SaulandBreaking Badcharacters, as the episode featured several returning actors from both series. This included Banks asMike Ehrmantraut[h]and guest starsBryan CranstonasWalter White,[i]Michael McKeanasChuck McGill,[j]andBetsy BrandtasMarie Schrader.[k][16]The episode also marked the first appearance ofSteven Gomez's wife Blanca, portrayed by Marisilda Garcia, who was referenced multiple times butunseeninBreaking Bad.[17]Gould wanted to bring back otherBetter Call Saulactors, such asPatrick Fabian,Giancarlo Esposito,andMichael Mando,as well as others that appeared onBreaking Bad,includingAnna Gunn,RJ Mitte,andDean Norris.However, wanting to avoid an "overstuffed epic", he and the writing staff decided against incorporating them into the finale.[7][18]

Banks, Cranston and McKean's characters appear in flashbacks, whereas Brandt's character appears in the present timeline.[7]Gould compared the scenes with Mike, Walter and Chuck to the three ghosts ofA Christmas Carol,each showing Saul repeating the same cycle in his life.[7]He also felt Chuck's cameo brought the show back to its beginning.[16]McKean filmed his scene before traveling to theUnited Kingdomfor another project, Cranston's appearance was filmed months before principal photography for the finale occurred to accommodate his schedule, while Brandt spent a relatively longer time in Albuquerque due to having more scenes to film than the other guest stars.[16][19]

Writing[edit]

The title of "Saul Gone" is a play on the words "s'all gone" and Saul Goodman's name, itself a play on the phrase "it's all good, man".[20]The episode, season, and series ends withGene Takavicgetting caught by the authorities and, under his legal name of Saul Goodman, getting sentenced to prison for the crimes he committed inBreaking Bad.Gould and the writing staff knew by the time thefifth seasonfinaleaired two years prior that this was the right ending for the series.[7]They realized that Saul spent his career making a mockery of the justice system, so it was fitting to them that he ended the series as a part of it, only this time as a prisoner. Gould further elaborated that in the finale, Saul had gone from someone who ran the courtroom to becoming the subject of one.[18]

Gould and the writing staff felt strongly to endBetter Call Sauldifferently thanBreaking Badand its sequel filmEl Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie(2019). Comparing the fates of the three works' main protagonists, Gould explained that Walter White achieved his ambitions but ended up dead,Jesse Pinkmansuffered greatly but found freedom, while Saul Goodman chose long-term incarceration but regained his soul.[21][22]Saul's fate at the end of "Saul Gone" was nearly assigned to Jesse. While writingEl Caminoyears prior, Gilligan toyed with the idea of endingEl Caminowith Jesse residing in a jail cell, imprisoned yet at peace. However, when Gilligan initiallypitchedthis idea toBetter Call Saulwriting staff, they advised against it on the grounds that Jesse had suffered too much to be incarcerated. Gould also felt this was a more appropriate ending for Saul.[22][23]When comparing thefinale ofBreaking Badto the finale ofBetter Call Saul,Gould said he felt that Walter dealt death to people, so his series ended "in a blaze of glory"; in contrast, Gould believed Saul was a man of words, and that his ending needed to be more dialogue-focused.[10]Odenkirk described the ending as being "more psychological and quieter and slower. It's deeply about character".[24]

However, Gould consideredBetter Call Saul's ending an optimistic one, not just for Saul Goodman, but forKim Wexleras well. With the two characters finally confessing their misdeeds, Gould felt both chose to end their cycles of self-destructive tendencies and would refrain from making the same mistakes again.[10][16]He further acknowledged the challenging circumstances that awaited the two characters, with Saul spending his life in prison and Kim potentially facing a civil lawsuit, but Gould believed that in cleaning their conscience, both regained a part of their humanity and could begin living more honest lives.[16][7]

The writers room discussed the idea of having the prison room scene of Saul and Kim sharing a cigarette be the last shot of the series. However, Gould did not want the show to end with Saul and Kim together in the same frame, feeling it more honest to finish with the two of them apart.[10][25]He instead chose to end the series with the two parting in the prison yard to deal with the likely truth that Saul will be incarcerated for the rest of his life.[10]Gould also said that whether Kim would return to visit Saul again was up to the audience to decide.[18]

Filming[edit]

When filming the opening scene in the desert, Gould mentioned the location's cold weather conditions strongly contrasted with the blazing heat that occurred when shooting the episode "Bagman",which took place in the same setting.[18]The very first two shots of the rocks and Jimmy's car in the desert came from unused footage from previous episodes.[16]For the courtroom scene, production staff initially struggled to find a location, but were eventually granted permission by theNew Mexico Supreme Courtto film on the top floor oftheir building.The location was only available on weekends, resulting in the entire crew shifting their working week to Wednesday through Sunday.[18]Filming lasted three days on the scene; Odenkirk mentioned asking to reshoot the scene after initially completing it.[24]To help film Chuck's flashback scene, production designer Denise Pizzini had to rebuild the set for Chuck's house on stage, as it was previously destroyed during thefourth season.[16]

The prison room scene in "Saul Gone"(top)was a homage to the series premiere(bottom).It was the last scene filmed during principal photography.

Saul and Kim sharing a cigarette while leaning against a prison room wall was the last scene filmed during principal photography for the series. Gould considered the moment, which itself was an homage to thefirst episode,as the two characters relating to one another without speaking.[16]Odenkirk detailed the scene as being a "big deal for us, and it felt incredibly organic and natural, the feelings of acceptance and love at a level they've never shared before", furthermore describing the two characters as "bigger people than they had shown themselves to be, and that scene grants them that intelligence as well as the bravery to do that – to own their shortcomings".[24]While the scene was filmed in black-and-white, as with all other parts of the Gene timeline, a brief use of color on the cigarette and lighter flame was included. Gould said this use of color was a sign of Gene recalling his fondness for his relationship with Kim.[22]The scene's music was reused from the first episode, which wasDave Porter's first composition forBetter Call Saul.[26]

During the final scene in the prison yard, many viewers noticed Kim's right hand subtly gesturing a gun in response to Saul shooting finger guns at her.[27][28]Footage was filmed of Kim returning Saul's gesture by fully shooting finger guns back at him, but Gould felt that this could be interpreted as Kim going back to her old ways. As a result, the scene that made it to air showed Kim merely looking at Saul instead. Seehorn described the overall scene as being "about the acknowledgement of their bond that is still there, and the part of their relationship that was true".[29][30]

Themes and motifs[edit]

During the scene at Chuck's house, Chuck picks up a paperback copy of H. G. Wells'sThe Time Machine.The book was previously visible in the prologue opening of the season premiere "Wine and Roses",when authorities raid Saul Goodman's mansion after he flees Albuquerque, and in the episode that would succeed it,"Carrot and Stick",where it is present on Jimmy's bedroom nightstand at Kim's apartment.[31]Its placement is intended to illustrate the regrets several characters feel over their actions, including Jimmy, Kim, Walt, and Mike.[31]In Jimmy's case,The Time Machineand his questions about time travel reveal his biggest regret was the way his relationship with Chuck ended, which he did not resolve until his courtroom confession.[31]Showrunner Peter Gould suggested that Chuck having a copy ofThe Time Machinein the flashback scene implied that he too was experiencing regrets around this period.[16]

When Jimmy asks Walt about his greatest regret in the flashback showing their time inEd Galbraith's hideout, Walt briefly glances at the wristwatch that Jesse gave him in theBreaking Badepisode "Fifty-One"(2012). Rae Torres ofColliderfelt this indicated that Walt's greatest regret was not leaving Gray Matter Technologies but rather his abusive treatment of Jesse throughoutBreaking Bad,and served to contrast with Jimmy's inability to honestly answer his own question.[32]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

"Saul Gone" received universal critical acclaim. On the review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes,the episode received an approval rating of 100% based on 30 reviews, with an average rating of 10/10. The critical consensus reads, "The lawyer who broke bad finally comes clean in 'Saul Gone,' an emotionally powerful and thematically fitting conclusion to one of television's great dramas."[33]The episode was considered by critics to be a "masterful" conclusion to the series,[1]andTVLineranked it as one of the best series finales of all time.[34]Many critics highlighted Jimmy's character development, his redemption, and reconciliation with Kim, in addition to the motif oftime machinesin the episode.[35][36][37][38][39][40]

Betsy Brandt at the 2012 Comic-Con in San Diego, California.
Betsy Brandt's surprise return asMarie Schrader,who last appeared nine years prior inBreaking Bad'sfinale,was praised.

Giving the episode an A grade, Kimberly Potts ofThe A.V. Clubcalled it a "supremely satisfying sendoff" with "blasts from the past and one last twist".[35]AtIGN,Rafael Motamayor gave the episode a 10 out of 10 rating, describing it as a "subtler character study, exploring regrets and change in its protagonist". He also noted the episode title and complimented it for being "a thematic bookend on a show that was never really about Saul Goodman" and highlighted the motif of time machines.[36]Similarly,Vulture's Jen Chaney also discussed the motif of time machines in the episode, and commended it for offering more depth and context toBreaking Bad,and felt the series was superior toBreaking Bad,as it "dared to widen its scope and go bigger thanBreaking Badever did ".[37]In addition, the website's Scott Tobias gave it a 5 out of 5 rating and wrote, "'Saul Gone' [...] finds an ending for Jimmy that's hopeful and authentic without feeling rosy or unearned."[41]Meanwhile,David SegalofThe New York Timesfelt Saul's discussions with Mike, Walter, and Chuck about time machines helped "riff on the theme of regret and second chances".[42]

Miles Surrey ofThe Ringerdiscussed the scene in which Jimmy testifies before court, and highlighted the inner conflict between his Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman personae, ultimately feeling Jimmy won, as he had realized "the prospect of reconciling with [Kim] takes him on a new path—one toward redemption". He praised Jimmy's characterization in the episode, and felt that the series "showed that it's never too late to stop breaking bad for the ones you love".[43]AtVariety,Daniel D'Addario highlighted Odenkirk's performance in the court scene, and felt the episode was "meticulous" and commended Gould's writing and narrative structure. He felt that the episode was superior toBreaking Bad's series finale, "Felina".[39]James Osborne ofThe A.V. Clubcommended the return of Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader,[k]saying that despite audiences sympathizing with Jimmy over the course ofBetter Call Saul's six seasons, Marie's appearance served as a reminder of how his actions onBreaking Baddirectly affected her and as to why he was in the courtroom in the first place.[15]
