'Better Call Saul' Season 6 Episode 5: Will Saul and Kim's plan against Howard succeed?
The first four episodes of the ‘Better Call Saul’ Season 6 have laid a strong foundation for things to come and it will be interesting to see how Jimmy’s transition to Saul Goodman gets finally completed. One of the most intriguing storylines this season has been about Saul Goodman vs. Howard Hamlin. Saul, along with Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), has been hatching a plan to take down Howard and as of now, they are getting pretty successful at that.
It all started with Saul planting fake cocaine on Howard, and they took the plan to a next level in Episode 4. Using the device Huell gave Saul (Bob Odenkirk) in Episode 3, he broke into Howard’s car and picks up a prostitute named Wendy. Things get really intense when Kim is having dinner with Cliff and Saul drives by and forcefully pushes Wendy out of the moving car. The incident caught Cliff’s attention and seems to have made things worse for Howard.

In the upcoming episode, we will see Cliff finally confronting what’s happening in his life. First cocaine and now a prostitute, Cliff is really getting worried for his friend. Fans believe that Saul and Kim might have judged the situation wrong and expect a twist in the tale.
Will there be a twist in Howard’s story?
In the promo, we see Cliff meeting Howard and telling him that he knows that it was him in the car that day. However, Howard says that it was not him. The entire moment has made Reddit believe that the conversation might show how much Cliff cares about Howard.
One of the Redditors said, “Cliff’s confrontation with Howard is going to be one of genuine concern, and thus he will be more on Howard’s side than Jimmy and Kim.” Meanwhile, one of the users joked that Saul and Howard will be settling their differences in a “boxing ring”. He wrote, “Since ‘Black and Blue’ can also be used to describe bruises, perhaps this is the episode where we see Jimmy and Howard in the boxing ring?”
However, there were many who believed that Kim might think of pulling off the entire plan because Cliff has already signaled that he is interested in her idea for a pro bono practice. One of the fans wrote, “She is about to establish a team of lawyers helping regular folks. I say there’s no way she trades that for working for a drug empire.”
“Note how when she tells Jimmy that Cliff was interested, Jimmy instantly asked about the money. When they visited Kettlemans, Jimmy was mesmerized by the statue while Kim was touched by the sight of an old lady being taken advantage of. She is about to leave him to do the right thing for the greater good,” the user added. Another user said, “Well if the conversation goes well cliff will figure out that Howard was in therapy at the time.”
Although these are only predictions, they all make compelling cases. I mean, Kim wouldn’t want to be a part of something so dangerous and might make the decision to get away from Saul. We believe that all these predictions and theories are amazing, but ‘Better Call Saul’ has a history of surprising us by doing the exact opposite. So, it won’t come as surprise if the makers decide to come out with a banger of an episode that takes everyone by surprise.
We can’t wait for the next episode of ‘Better Call Saul’ Season 6.
