In an interview with AMC . BlogBreaking Bad writer and director Thomas Schnauz revealed that the episode almost reconsidered Walt’s initial meeting with Saul in his office. (See the scene above.)

“We were looking for a place – where [in the timeline] Shall we show the return of Walter White? We talked for the longest time about the moment Brandon Mayhew’s uncle runs through the door and tries to hire him, but that wasn’t true or dramatic enough, Schnauz said. “Looking back at all the different scenes, we realized the space between the kidnapping and when they were planning how to rescue Badger, and this just seemed like a real nice place to fill in, ‘What do these guys say to each other after trying to kidnap during that awkward trip back?'”

Schnauz added: “And in this case, the aft ride is filled with an awkward RV cabin and they have to sit uncomfortably together in the dark looking at each other.” (Dual drive problem also portends Too bad “4 Days Out” episode, where a planned weekend cook leaves Walt and Jesse stuck in the desert.)

“In the episode, Jane goes back to Saul Goodman’s methods and we wanted to compare who Saul was in the past, who Jane was, and the reasons why he was Saul,” Schnauz said. “In Episode 609, we do 2001 [A Space Odyssey] A moment with the bone turned into a spaceship, where Kim [Rhea Seehorn] I broke up with him and told him how I hid the truth from him from Mike and Lalu [Tony Dalton] He was alive, then Saul Goodman goes on. “

After the runaway Jane tried to call his ex-wife Kim Wexler, “Something bad happened in that phone call we didn’t hear and he brings back all the pain of the past and decides to go back to his cheating ways.”

“He needs to do something to numb the pain of the past and being Jane is not going to do that. So we wanted to see Saul in the past and see Jane now and see the steps that made him go towards Walter White, where Mike advises him to ‘give it up’ but he can’t because he has something Inside him it bothers him that he needs to do something bigger and worse to numb the pain of what happened in the past,” Schnauz said. “So this seemed like the right episode to rip back and forth between the Saul Goodman times, the Walter White Times, and compare it to what’s happening in the Gene world.”
