Better Call Saul: 6 Reasons Kim Wexler Won't Die In Season 6
5. It Betrays Jimmy and Kim's Relationship
Jimmy and Kim's relationship is obviously doomed. It's doomed because it's clear that they're no longer together by the time of Breaking Bad. It's also doomed because their relationship is one that's increasingly toxic. The real tragedy of Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler isn't that she'll end up murdered, it's that they're too similar, and only bring out the worst in each other.
There's a reason that their final scene in the fifth season is Kim pitching an audacious scam to Jimmy. Over the course of Better Call Saul, she's graduated from being Slippin' Jimmy's wing-woman to being an effective con-artist. There must be a reason that co-creator Peter Gould told fans to keep an eye on the Zafiro Anejo bottle stopper. It's a souvenir of an early scam that she and Jimmy pulled together, when they conned Ken, the obnoxious stockbroker whose car would eventually be blown up by Walter White.
The teacher becoming the pupil is surely the real story of the series, how Jimmy McGill has created a monster in the form of his wife. It's why their final scene in season five ends with her giving him the finger guns, echoing his own actions at the end of the fourth season.
