Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad, is arguably one of the best TV shows running today. Much like Breaking Bad, it is carried by the nature of its characters and how complex they are.
The series is based in Albuquerque and follows the transformation of a law attorney from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman. Being a show filled with crime, it's only expected for Better Call Saul to be full of surprises and unforeseen twists. Without further ado, let's take a look at the 10 scenes even fans didn't see coming from the show.
10 Hank And Gomie's Appearance
In season 5, fans get to witness a surprise appearance from Hank and Steve. As part of the DEA, they are brought in to talk to Krazy 8, who's landed in jail and is, supposedly, willing to talk about his bosses.
They got some credible news from Krazy 8 and made some arrests, although it was planned that it would be given to them. Even in Better Call Saul, both Hank and Gomie are a step behind the drug lords.
9 Kim Asks Jimmy To Marry Her
When Jimmy deviates from Kim's plan regarding Mesa Verde and Mr. Acker, she calls Jimmy out for being selfish and a liar. While it is a justified observation, one has to say that he isn't Jimmy anymore. Saul Goodman does everything for himself and that's just who he is.
So, when the fans thought the relationship was about to end, Kim suddenly asked Jim to either leave her or marry her. This couldn't have been foreseen.
8 Kim Leaves Schweikart And Cokely
After Jimmy survived a unique situation, Kim had a lot of time to think about what's important to her and what's not. On a day when she called in sick, Kim went to Schweikart and Cokely to work as she normally does.
But, all of a sudden, she decided to talk to Rich and resign from her job. Then the fans learned that she wanted to do more pro bono cases and that was the reason why she left.
7 Kim And Jimmy Fool Ken
In season 2, when Jimmy has resorted to his 'slippin' Jimmy' days, he invites Kim to a resort. There, they see Ken, a financial broker who assists rich people. Out of nowhere, Jimmy takes Kim with him and basically drags her into swindling Ken.
They pose as two rich siblings looking to invest their money. Jimmy and Kim eat and drink their hearts out during this 'investment' conversation and then leave, which means Ken has to pay the exorbitant bill.
6 Jimmy And Mike Trapped In A Desert
In one of the best episodes of season 5, something unthinkable happens with Jimmy when he brings the $7 million bail money for Lalo from the Mexican border. There, a gang jumps him and is about to kill him before Mike shows up and saves him.
Then, without a car and a gang behind them, Jimmy and Mike navigate through the desert without water and food. It takes them more than a day to get back to Albuquerque. After seeing Jim alive, Kim is elated, to say the least.
5 Chuck Opens Up To Jimmy
Chuck was always hard on Jimmy, whether he did a good job or not. When Jimmy became a lawyer, Chuck used to always keep him in check, and fans thought he just wanted what's best for his brother. But, that wasn't the case, as Chuck opened up to Jimmy during a scene where he confessed his true feelings. He even said that Jimmy only became a lawyer by fluke.
Jimmy's last meeting with Chuck also didn't go very well. Chuck told Jimmy that he hasn't mattered to him much. All his life Jimmy wanted to do his brother proud but instead, all he got was rejection.
4 Lalo Shows Up At Jimmy's House
After making it through the desert, Jimmy was told to get his story straight by Mike, so he told Lalo that his car broke down instead of telling him that he was attacked by gangsters. When Lalo was bailed out, he headed back to Mexico with Nacho, but before that, he wanted to see whether or not Jimmy's broken down car was still there.
He finds Jimmy's car in a ditch riddled with bullet holes. In order to get some answers, he shows up at Jimmy's house, leaving him and Kim fearing for their lives. But Kim is able to save Jimmy by talking Lalo out of the house. It's an incredibly tense scene made in typical Better Call Saul fashion.
3 Kim's Pitch To Jimmy
This is a scene where Kim really surprised both fans and Jimmy. After finding out about how Jimmy harassed Howard when the latter offered him a job at HHM, Kim started pitching some ideas to Jimmy about how they could ruin Howard's career via the Sandpiper case.
At first, Jimmy thought Kim was joking, but as it turned out she was serious and really wanted to pull it off. Jimmy is left shocked by this plan and couldn't do anything but laugh hysterically. This really left the audience wondering about what Kim is really capable of.
2 Chuck's Suicide
After Chuck was publicly defamed by Jimmy at the courthouse, he absolutely lost it and his condition worsened. He pushed everything and everyone away from him and it was clear that this was the end of the road for him.
But the way he died was just brutal. He was sitting on a sofa next to a lamp on a table. He started kicking the table until the lamp fell down and engulfed the whole house in flames. One of the strongest characters in Better Call Saul died of suicide.
1 Jimmy's (Fake) Speech
At Jimmy's testimony, when he was given a final opportunity to convince the bar that he should be given his lawyer's license back, he gave a very moving speech using his brother's memory and that did the job.
But, as soon as he left the room, Jimmy brushed off his fake tears and started jumping with joy. He told Kim that the trick worked and that he couldn't believe everyone bought it. Kim was absolutely shocked to hear that those emotions were all fake. That was the moment, Saul Goodman was born!
