20 Best Episodes Of Better Call Saul
4. Winner (Season 4, Episode 10)
Winner finds Better Call Saul at its most multi-layered, following Jimmy as he struggles with the effects of Chuck's death whilst fighting to get his law license back, and Mike and Lalo as they each race to intercept escaped engineer Werner Ziegler, who just wants to spend some time with his wife.
Gripping from the off, the season four finale is a haunting reminder that we're watching a prequel to Breaking Bad, showcasing both Jimmy and Mike as they accept their fates.
For Jimmy, Winner is the first episode where he happily embraces his Saul Goodman persona, first conning a jury (and a shell-shocked Kim) into thinking he's haunted by Chuck's death so he can get his license back, then changing his name and slipping into a new life.
Mike, meanwhile, begrudgingly becomes the hitman he never wanted to be. These developments compliment each other beautifully, and herald the beginning of the end for both men, as Lalo erupts as a murderous villain for the ages.
