Better Call Saul: 8 Questions Season 6 MUST Answer

8. What Is Ice Station Zebra Associates?

Ice Station Zebra Associates is a long-running mystery in the Breaking Bad universe. It is the shadow cooperation by which Saul Goodman avoided taxes and lauders his money when we are first introduced to it in Breaking Bad, however, Walter White goes in another direction and it remained a mystery after that.

However, in Better Call Saul we do see more of this company in season 2 when Kim and Jimmy con somebody out of $10,000 and the cheque is made out to Ice Station Zebra Associates. Now, at this point, Jimmy doesn't have any companies made up to suit his tax evasion means, mostly because he has no money to speak of. The mystery thickens when we see that Jimmy and Kim are watching a film called Ice Station Zebra which is based on a book of the same name.

Every single time that Ice Station Zebra has appeared in Better Call Saul, Kim has been a part of the scene. Now, it's worth mentioning that there is a common theory that she has always been Saul's shadow partner and ran Ice Station Zebra Associates in Breaking Bad whilst staying out of sight.

Season 6 must deal with what this company is and why it appeared at all in both Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, surely a mind like Vince Gilligan's won't just leave this be.
