Gene’s opening episode absence proves Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould came to same conclusion. Jimmy McGill’s story needs a bigger ending than the usual season premiere tradition can accommodate. Considering the context, however, Jimmy is more likely in Omaha pretending to be Gene while Saul Goodman’s house gets emptied.Įxpecting Gene content in Better Call Saul season 6‘s opening and emerging empty-handed is certainly a strange sensation, but should be taken as a positive omen. Since the house-clearance scene is in color, it hides in plain sight as regular Better Call Saul prequel material, maybe a little way ahead of Jimmy and Kim’s current position. The final season opens with Saul Goodman’s house being cleared of belongings, which would only make sense after the lawyer’s departure from Breaking Bad. While Better Call Saul season 6’s premiere plainly doesn’t feature Gene himself, that’s not to say the episode doesn’t include scenes from Gene’s timeline.

Could everyone’s favorite Cinnabon employee soon switch from greyscale to full color? A merging has already been teased by Better Call Saul‘s season 6 marketing, which shows black-and-white Gene slipping on Saul Goodman’s bright red coat.


Rather than using the traditional device of premiere flashforwards, Better Call Saul‘s final outing might converge timelines, bringing the prequel narrative up to where we last saw Gene. Another possibility is that Better Call Saul season 6 will progress its prequel timeline into Breaking Bad‘s era, overlapping with the adventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (who are both confirmed to cameo).
