Better Call Saul season 6 episode 9 photo: Jimmy McGill’s struggle
After all, at the center of this story is Jimmy McGill struggling mightily to figure out and/or cope with what has just happened. At a certain point, he must be wondering about how so many people close to him end up dead. Sure, he didn’t kill Chuck, and the same could be said for Howard Hamlin. However, what is his culpability in some of what happened? How much self-reflection is there? Based on the photo above, there could at least be a little bit.

While Jimmy may recognize that Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut may set up Howard’s death to appear totally separate from anything he did, that won’t stop the suspicion. Other people around HHM know that he was a major source of Howard’s anxiety, and they could blame him for their boss’ supposed “drug use.” Meanwhile, there’s also the fact that Gus and Mike will probably use what happened as a way to get Jimmy and Kim over a metaphorical barrel, where they will have to do whatever they want.
We’ve said this before, but we’re more concerned about terrible things now for Kim than ever before. That’s a sole result of her planning to kill Gus at Lalo’s behest. We don’t think that Giancarlo Esposito’s character is going to forget about that.
