Better Call Saul could have been called The Corruption of Kim Wexler and it wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference as to its direction.

Kim is the show's truly tragic character. She was good and honest without any sense of expedience, but slowly, through her relationship with Jimmy, she has become a twisted and warped version of what she set out to be.

The thing is, haven't we have all been expecting Kim to die at some point? We don't see her in Breaking Bad, therefore she must be dead, right?

Well, many things could have happened to Kim that don't involve her demise. For example, she could be living in witness protection or she could have escaped to another state far from Jimmy's reach.

What we may not have seen is her slowly becoming more and more the monster that she fears Jimmy is. Kim is intelligent, cunning, and able to turn situations on their head.

Who didn't think her time had come when she began berating Lalo? But she pushed back at him with seemingly no fear and manipulated his conclusions to the point that he left calmly.

So, what if, through all of Breaking Bad she was the operator of Ice Station Zebra Associates, the company behind Goodman in Breaking Bad? She could be the mastermind behind everything that Goodman did in Breaking Bad, yet remain unseen by the audience.

It is a mind-blowing thing to think that Kim becomes one of the most dangerous shadow characters in the whole series, but it gets more and more possible with each passing episode.

Likelihood: 7/10
