Better Call Saul 6.09: Kim Leaves
Jun. 17th, 2025 09:43 pmEpisode 6.09 of Better Call Saul, "Fun and Games", is not the last episode in the series. There are 4 more after it. But it completes a story arc I've been wondering about since the start of the series: How does Kim's story end?
We've known since the start that Kim's story has got to end somewhere in this series. That's because of what I've repeatedly referred to as The Star Wars: Rogue One Rule. A major character in a prequel who doesn't appear in the original series— Kim is not mentioned at all by name in Breaking Bad— is doomed. The writers had to get rid of her to maintain continuity with the original series.
