There's a lot to unpack in the Season 6 premiere of Better Call Saul, "Wine and Roses," so let's jump right into it.
In “Wine and Roses,” Jimmy is still having a hard time dealing with the aftermath of Lalo confronting them at their apartment, as well as the fact that Kim seems to be toeing the line between honesty and corruption. Jimmy knows that having helped a cartel leader might come back to bite him in the ass, but for now, he’s evading the police by using the law as a shield. Kim is also determined to work with Jimmy in a new ploy to ruin Howard Hamlin's (Patrick Fabian) career. The relationship between Mike and Gus seems to be hanging by a thread, and we are bound to see something change in Season 6 of Better Call Saul. During the events of Breaking Bad, Mike never once questioned Gus, so it’s safe to assume the final season of Better Call Saul will show how Mike is finally convinced of Gus’ honor. The police are still looking for Jimmy after his client, Lalo, paid a seven million dollars bail and fled the country. Before crossing the border back to the United States, Lalo calls Hector to let his uncle know he’s alive, well, and coming to kill Gus. Hector agrees to keep Lalo’s fake death a secret but leads his nephew on a different path. Better Call Saul’s Season 6 premiere mostly keeps Jimmy (now practicing law under the name "Saul Goodman") and his now-wife Kim (Rhea Seehorn) away from the heat of the Fring vs. At the same time, Mike tries to remind his boss that loyalty goes both ways, and since Nacho risked his neck for Gus, they must bring the young man back home safe. Using whatever tools he can find, Lalo takes down the entire mercenary team, finds out that Gus sent them, and begins to formulate a plan for getting his revenge. In order to escape, Lalo burns a body beyond recognition and dresses it in his clothes. He knows he’s a dead man if the Salamancas ever find him, and his situation becomes even more desperate once Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks) tells him Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) has put a bounty over his head. It's supposed to be a clean operation, but Gus forgets to consider the fact that Lalo is a blood-lusting madman.

Since the Better Call Saul already introduced us to a colorized scene from the Breaking Bad timeline with the "Quite A Ride" episode, there are plenty of reasons to see how the opening scene of Season 6 follows the timeline merging of the Season 6 promo photo. It most poignantly appears on the show in episode 9 of the show's fifth season, entitled "Bad Choice Road," when Kim quits her cushy job as partner and head of Schweikart & Cokely's banking division but makes sure to double back to her office to retrieve the bottle stopper she kept in her desk drawer. For the first five minutes of the episode, we're greeted by movers emptying what appears to be a palatial estate once owned by Saul. They clean out his massive bathroom equipped with golden shower walls and an obscene golden toilet, load his 1997 Cadillac DeVille made famous in Breaking Bad on the back of a truck to be taken away, and removes every piece of furniture not nailed down. Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus Fring, Huell Babineaux, and a bevy of other Breaking Bad characters have their stories fleshed out more on Better Call Saul than on Breaking Bad. But, while Breaking Bad characters enter the Better Call Saul universe, rarely do the two shows' timelines converge. We've seen it all in Better Call Saul, but now it's time to see how it finds its way into the Breaking Bad timeline that created it. Better Call Saul co-creator Peter Gould already confirmed America's favorite meth lab coworkers, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), would be reprising their Breaking Bad roles this season.
