Better Call Saul Season 5 - 5 Things We Can't Wait To See

5. The Meth Lab Gets Finished

Better Call Saul has, perhaps surprisingly, given us a much greater insight into how Gustavo Fring began his meth distribution operation, which we later see in full swing in Breaking Bad. While fans at the time probably weren't too concerned on Gus's origins as a major player in the drugs trade of New Mexico, the prequel show has since given us what we didn't know we needed - a fascinating tale into how Gus managed to manipulate the cartel into producing meth on his side of the border.

One of the most key elements in this operation is the meth lab underneath the laundrette, later used by Walter and Jesse. We started to see this constructed (with some complications) in Season 4, and we can expect it to come into play more before the end of this run of episodes. There will likely be more problems moving forward as Gus continues to enact his revenge plan and the lab could play a big part of that.

What this will also hopefully mean is more appearances from Gale Boetticher. Gale is a constant reminder that it is never a good idea to get involved in the drugs trade, even if his personal reasons are justified. Every time we see the naive scientist on screen, it hurts as we know the tragic outcome for this character.

Poor Gale.
