Better Call Saul has been masterfully intertwining characters from Breaking Bad into their plot, giving fans an insight into how our favorite character became who they are in the latter show. With the finale right around the corner fans have began to speculate if the show will bring back anymore Breaking Bad favorites, and according to one popular theory, the answer is “yes”.
According to Uproxx:
At the moment, Mike Ehrmantraut is locked in a dispute with Hector Salamanca. Mike is formidable, but he’s one guy. He can inflict some damage — as he no doubt will with that nail-hose — but ultimately, it’s not a fight that Mike is going to win. Hector has an entire cartel at his disposal, so if Hector decides that he wants to kill Mike, Hector is going to kill Mike.
Unless someone steps in to protect him.
In season three of Breaking Bad, The Cousins (nephews of Hector, who we have already seen threaten Mike on this season of Saul), step into Walter White’s residence and, while Walter is showering, wait on his bed to kill him. Viewers may recall, however, that it was Mike Ehrmantraut who placed a call that ultimately saved Walter White. The call that Mike placed was to Gus Fring, who used his connections with the Juárez Cartel to call off the hit.
When the sh*t hits the fan between Mike and Hector, it may be Gus Fring, again, who steps in and and this time saves Mike. Mike, after all, does end up working for Gus Fring, and what we’re seeing with Hector may be the dispute that brings them together. I’m not entirely sure how this Mike-Gus-Hector triangle ultimately converges, but this season seems to be leading directly toward that point.
A Reddit user also shares this speculation, suggesting that the first let of the season’s titles are actually an anagram:
Fifi
Rebecca
Inflatable
Nailed
Gloves Off
Switch
Bali Ha’i
Amarillo
Cobbler
Klick
“Fring’s Back.”
Better Call Saul finale will air on AMC on April 18.
