In the Better Call Saul hiatus between when the seventh episode aired and when the eighth episode premieres this coming Monday, the show has dropped minuscule tidbits of what’s to come. In spite of these tidbits, there hasn’t been enough material for fans to conclude what is going to happen definitively in the final Better Call Saul episodes.

AMC’s YouTube channel released another teaser of what’s to come when Better Call Saul returns. Much like the other teasers, it doesn’t show anything, nor does it have any audio of what’s to come, thus continuing the show’s ambiguity from here on out. The teaser, which is titled “Places,” shows a montage of various sets from Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad while playing the song, “A Little Bit of Rain” from Fred Neil. The sets include outside and inside of Saul’s office, Los Pollos Hermanos, inside and outside of Jimmy and Kim’s apartment, an Albuquerque courtroom, the Crossroads motel, the inside of the infamous meth lab underneath the laundromat, and lastly, what appears to be the inside of Saul’s house. They finally show Saul trying on clothes while saying in the background, “Let justice be done until the heavens fall.”
If anything, the trailer almost comes off as though it’s a sendoff for everything the audience has been through, both with Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad. Doing so may be promising that viewers are in for an epic ending with Better Call Saul much like they were with Breaking Bad. These sets could also indicate those are the only settings where the rest of season 6 will take place, considering we’re building up to a final showdown between Gus Fring and Lalo Salamanca in the show’s last six episodes. Since everyone involved has indicated that the first half is only the start of the storm that’s coming, viewers should very much stay tuned for what’s about to happen.
From the very beginning, fans tuned into Better Call Saul because they wanted to see Jimmy McGill turn into his crooked alter-ego Saul Goodman. Along the way, they also wanted to see why some of Better Call Saul’s main characters don’t appear in Breaking Bad. They’ve gotten so attached to them that when the show revealed the fate of most of these characters, fans were still heartbroken about it despite the fact that their revealed fate was also their most likely one.
That also further demonstrates how well-done Better Call Saul is as a show. When it started, it was commonly recognized as Breaking Bad’s prequel. Now, seven and a half years later, fans don’t care much about the show’s connection to Breaking Bad anymore because they care more about what will happen to the Better Call Saul characters they’ve grown attached to since the show began. The only two characters whose fates are undetermined are Kim Wexler and Lalo Salamanca, and viewers are finally going to see what becomes of them in the next six weeks.
Better Call Saul will resume its final season on July 11, 2022, on AMC.
