Is the final episode of Better Call Saul already set in the Breaking Bad timeline?

In Fun and Games, showrunner Vince Gilligan sped up the merging process with a Timeskip. Kim (Rhea Seehorn) splits from her husband Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk). A turning point for the title character, which is illustrated by a thick cut. In the next scene, we meet Jimmy/Saul again in the future. But how far exactly have we jumped? How close are Walt and Jesse now?

A very short Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad timeline

  • Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 1 is set in 2002
  • Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 9 (the most recent) is set in June 2004
  • ———-
  • Breaking Bad Season 1 Episode 1 is set in September 2005
  • Conclusion: Not too much time has to be bridged, about 14 months

    • It could have been just under a year or a lot more, fans at Reddit disagree on that. The authors scatter clues in both directions. One stock market report on the radio indicates that Jimmy is in February 2005. That Jimmy’s/Saul’s Cadillac license plate seems to confirm the year.

    In this case Better Call would be Saul only 8 months jumped into the future and is still more than half a year away from Breaking Bad. But if you jump into the future, why is it so brief? Good question.

    4 clues that Better Call Saul has already arrived in the Breaking Bad timeline

    The following observations speak more for one Time jump to 2008:

  • Jimmy’s/Saul’s appearance: The figure has changed significantly. Without medical expertise: His hair loss seems to have progressed faster than usual in an 8-month period. And he’s already wearing the headset we meet him in Season 2 Episode 8 of Breaking Bad
  • The very (!) clearly depicted muesli bars should only have come on sale from 2008
  • Also at least interesting: The phone call that Saul has at the end is about a client who is said to have been arrested for public masturbation. This could be a reference to the Breaking Bad character Badger, who was arrested for the same crime in Saul’s first Breaking Bad scene
  • Jimmy/Saul’s Environment: The transformation into alter ego Saul Goodman is complete. The lawyer has cleared any Jimmy residue, he lives in a mansion, is extremely wealthy. The protracted Sandpiper case seems closed. All of this speaks for a leap in time of well over 8 months

    • Plus, Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston’s long-awaited cameos are definitely set to take place in the Better Call Saul season finale. And since the two probably don’t appear separately, got to Better Call Saul will break into the Breaking Bad timeline sooner or later. Another big jump in time would be too much of a good thing, especially in two consecutive episodes.

    The Breaking Bad Worlds Connect: When Are Walt And Jesse Coming To Better Call Saul?

    Because it could already be in the upcoming episode Nippy be ready. The film database IMDB, which often knows about such things before any other site, lists Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston as actors for Nippy. Breaking Bad icon Michelle MacLaren directed the episode. It’s only her third work for the spin-off. Showrunner Vince Gilligan certainly saved this noble joker for a special episode.

    Find that so far biggest crossover of both series already in the upcoming episode of Better Call Saul? We can only present circumstantial evidence. But this persuasion should be enough to make even the die-hard Better Call Saul grouches among Breaking Bad fans tune in for once next week. Nippy will be airing on Netflix starting Tuesday.
