Everything is about to explode in the next chapter of “Better call Saul”. The sixth episode of the final season, “Ax and grind”, sets us up for an exciting mid-season finale. In this new chapter we see a ruthless Lalo Salamanca getting closer to Gustavo, as well as Saul and Kim in trouble because of his plan against Howard.
What will happen to Kim Wexler and Lalo Salamanca and why do we never see them in “Breaking bad”?

The vacuum cleaner guy
How did Saul Goodman get all his important contacts on “Breaking Bad”? This episode seems to answer that question.
When Kim and Saul go to the vet Mike knows, Mike explains that he is retiring from his double life as a doctor for criminals and shows them an important black notebook where all his contacts are.
There, the couple of lawyers can see a card that says “Vacuum cleaner repair”, which is precisely the number of the “Extractor”.

This is the guy who is in charge of disappearing criminals and giving them a new identity, just as he did with Walter White in the episode “Ozymandias”, Jesse Pinkman in the movie “El Camino” and Saul Goodman himself in “Breaking bad”.
Lalo’s hunt
Lalo’s trip to Germany continues with his unexpected visit to one of the workers of the late Werner Ziegler. After a confrontation between the two, Eduardo breaks a rib, but manages to defeat his opponent by cutting off her leg with an axe.
“You and I are going to talk,” the drug trafficker Salamanca tells him before giving him a leash so he can tie his leg so he doesn’t bleed to death.

Lalo is about to find out about Gustavo’s lab, but since we never see him in “Breaking Bad,” this only casts doubt on whether he’ll make it back to New Mexico or somehow die in Germany.
Kim, a key piece for Saul Goodman
Kim and Saul’s plan continues in this episode, but we also learn about Wexler’s childhood and find out that his scam started with his mother.
Now, with the offer to work at the Jackson Mercer Foundation, Kim needs to go to a meeting that falls on “D-Day”, the date on which they will make the final play against Howard.
About the plan, though, the writers don’t tell us much, except that it will involve an impromptu actor posing as someone else and a substance Saul has ingested.

The day arrives, but an unexpected detail makes Goodman want to postpone the plan. Wexler isn’t about to back down, so he calls off his meeting with the foundation and goes looking for Jimmy.
What will happen to Kim? Most likely, the next episode will give a stronger hint of the lawyer and her future in “Breaking bad.”
