Better Call Saul Season 3: 8 Huge Questions That Must Be Answered
8. What's Next For Jimmy And Chuck?
Season 2 ended with the promise of the final nail seemingly being driven into the tumultuous relationship between brothers Jimmy and Chuck, with the latter catching our hero admitting to doctoring Chuck’s Mesa Verde files on ill-gained tape. The full consequences of this bombshell are set to unfurl, and while the legal admissibility of Jimmy’s confession is questionable, Chuck’s upcoming reveal of his hand looks set to render the trust between the two beyond repair.
With Chuck notedly non-existent in Breaking Bad, a permanent estrangement between the McGill siblings is likely to be on the cards sooner rather than later as the prequel series gets ever closer to connecting with the adventures of Walter White and beyond. How will Chuck use his surreptitious recording of Jimmy claiming culpability in actions that hospitalised Chuck and jeopardised his reputation and relationship with HHM?
Until Slippin’ Jimmy can find a way to wiggle out of this one, Chuck looks primed to use Jimmy’s confession for leverage in getting what he wants: namely Jimmy’s immediate step down from his freshly christened law firm, and out of Chuck’s territory. We know, of course, that Saul Goodman is in Jimmy’s future. The only question is whether he’ll morph into that man of his own volition, or if he’ll be driven to it by the actions of his disapproving, jealous to the bone older brother.
