Better Call Saul has always maintained a respectful distance from its parent show. Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan have always made it clear that if the show needed a lot of scenes, they would do it. Next week's episode of Better Call Saul is titled "Breaking Bad" and we have to assume that all hell is about to start breaking loose.
The episode title and description came from a Canadian TV listings site, but haven't appeared on the AMC website yet.
One of the questions hanging over the back half of the final season is when Gould and Gilligan might deploy the appearances byBreaking Bad stars. Better Call Saul is a show that loves a little clever misdirection, and the show may turn out to be another episode about the high-stakes drama of Gene The Cinnabon Man. Press images for the episode suggest it will be in Omaha. The partners escalate their enterprise to new levels is a title that is meant to make us think we might be back inABQ at the height of Heisenberg's reign.
More than one person has pointed out that the title of the episode works as a joke, and that the character of Jimmy McGill was introduced in an episode of Better Call Saul more than 13 years ago. Gould and Gilligan are giving back to each other. If it gets more people to check in on Better Call Saul, it will be a good thing.
