Better Call Saul Season 3: 18 Breaking Bad Easter Eggs & References You Must See

8. The Pool

Better Call Saul Don Eladio
AMC

Episode 4 opens with an image that will be instantly familiar to Breaking Bad fans, even if it's a different character.

The pool shot was one of the hallmarks of Breaking Bad, especially with the pink bear, and it's hard not to feel like this is a callback to it here.

It also marks Don Eladio's entrance to the series, and his death in Breaking Bad saw him falling face first into a pool. On top of that, the pool area is the same one that we see in Breaking Bad, where Gus poisons the Cartel.
