AMC Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman in “Better Call Saul” season 6.
We’re back, folks! After nearly two months of “Better Call Saul” on hiatus, season 6 resumes tonight with the beginning of Part 2, the eighth episode of the season overall. Tonight will be the first of the show’s final six episodes.
We left off with the finale of Season 6 Part 1, in which, as per usual, we were left with a massive cliffhanger. Jimmy and Kim finally executed their longstanding plan of tanking Howard’s career, in which they set in motion a complex and pernicious series of events which led to their former boss being duped into making an utter fool of himself, destroying any prospect he had with his Sandpiper clients, and possibly even destroying his career as he knew it.
We’ll never have a chance to find out, however, as the last we saw of them, Lalo Salamanca, back from his trip to Germany, entered Jimmy and Kim’s apartment in the midst of Howard’s climactic confrontation about their borderline-sociopathic scheme, and shot the HHM chief in the head, killing him. Mike and Gus, meanwhile, are aware of the threat Lalo poses, but have been misdirected into believing he’s going after Gus, not Jimmy and Kim. Will Mike once again come to the rescue? How will Jimmy escape this treacherous situation alive? Finally, we are about to find out.
At long last, let’s finally get into the episode, titled “Point and Shoot,” directed by none other than series co-creator Vince Gilligan.
