Howard is that cost, and his attempt to wedge between Jimmy and Kim’s relationship with the bowling ball and prostitute confessional is the real eye-opener. She accepts that duty with open arms, as though the threat of Lalo is this awakening in her to finally set off down her path, no matter the cost. Jimmy has been the grenade without a pin in her life for so long, and now that he’s been brought back down to earth so to speak, Kim’s turn to pull the pin has arrived.

The finger guns that close out their final scene of the season is a perfect way to cap off Kim’s journey this season, as not only does it mirror Jimmy’s own fingers guns on the fourth season’s finale, but also signifies that she’s now in control.
#BETTER CALL SAUL SEASON 1 EPISODE 10 TV#
Related Throwback Thursday: 'Better Call Saul,' 'Dollhouse,' 'PEN15,' and 90s TV Moments The extent of the fifth season leaves Jimmy in a state of disarray, over his head and feeling boxed in as he sees what fresh hells success can bring Kim, meanwhile, is seeing the forest beyond the trees, and wants to take advantage of this new lease on life. There’s a line that always feels like it’s about to be crossed, and the role reversal is exactly the place to send both Jimmy and Kim. It’s a fascinating dilemma, that destroying one man’s career for the good of the disenfranchised could help people for years to come. Two million dollars from the Sandpiper settlement could set her off on a dream career (an interesting sidenote that her mind immediately goes to work potential while Jimmy’s goes to a home for them), where being her own boss and helping people can do right in the world. Howard’s telling Kim what to think about Jimmy, and Jimmy’s telling her not to go through with something she’s undeniably enjoying. There’s also the notion that Kim has been told time and again what to think and do, and this newfound brush with danger has given her that moment of clarity to seize the life she wants by any means necessary. It’s this fabulous realization that while Jimmy’s heart may not be in the con game as much as before, Kim’s gotten a true taste of it. Jimmy’s incredulity at Kim’s interest in pursuing the downfall of Howard feels like a complete role reversal, where Jimmy is the one trying to talk Kim out of it rather than the other way around.

The moment that lands hardest is the last that Jimmy and Kim share. Photo Credit: Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television Michael Mando as Nacho Varga – Better Call Saul. Nacho faces the same, looking for a way out, but Lalo is introducing him to familiar faces that could be the start of something bigger. Jimmy’s a little shaky on this friend of the cartel thing, but Kim is trying to bring him into a new form of grey area that may be a line too far. The episode is about trying to get out while someone else tries to drag you back in. Some things cannot be undone, but on Better Call Saul Season 5 Episode 10, “Something Unforgivable,” Kim sure likes the sound of what it could bring to the table.
