*Warning: Spoilers ahead of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul*

Since the first season of Better Call Saul, the show has shown subtle references to the main show Breaking Bad, and as the prequel progressed and Jimmy completed his transformation into Saul Goodman, those references became increasingly clear.

This climaxes in the final episode of Better Call Saul where Jimmy McGill finally faces the consequences of his actions and his role in building Walter White’s criminal empire.

During negotiations over Saul’s deal, Mary Schrader is invited into the room to ask about the fate of her husband, Hank, and whether Saul played any role in his death during the events of Breaking Bad.

After he is arrested by police in Omaha, Nebraska, Saul Goodman engages in negotiations with the government’s attorney about a possible plea bargain in exchange for information.

During the negotiations, however, Saul asked if Marie Schrader would like to sit in the proceedings after seeing that she was present as she entered the room.

Mary keeps nothing after being called and does everything she can to pile guilt on Saul for his role in Hank’s death.

However, being Saul, he was able to portray himself as the victim by saying he was intimidated into working for Walter White – which eventually saw him be able to strike a deal that would only serve seven years in prison.

However, when Walt reaches the cache of money, he realizes he has been tricked and calls a gang of killers to help him while Hank, Steve Gomez and Jesse are on their way as well.

Episode 13 ends with a bloody shooting that saw Steve Gomez die while Hank survives, only to be killed in the early moments of Episode 14.
