That's not an option for him at that point. Presumably, he buried the money at the gas station before he disappeared and promised Francesca he'd give it to her if she gave him the information. He couldn't exactly ask for the money back because he didn't like the information she gave him.

Also, the money's in New Mexico, where everyone would recognize him if he showed up. Look at how quickly Jeffy recognized him just from looking at him in the rear view mirror in his taxi.

And he didn't seem to have a need or desire for money until the phone conversation with Kim after the call with Francesca. Is he doing the scamming for money or just for kicks?

Hookers.

I suspect he didn't have a great conversation with Kim, because there was a lot of yelling in that phone booth, and I think it was followed by the "lady joiner" montage.

I"m sure he makes enough money at Cinnabon to do 2 hookers at once.

I just realized that if you take Lalo, Howard, Kim and Nacho out of the equation, BCS is pretty average... lol

Why did they have to kill Lalo? He could have sustained his own show for 3-4 seasons.

I am thinking how could Kim stay out from the feds scotch free after the Breaking Bad ending and Saul disappering. Isn't she still technically married to Jimmy? The feds must have been on the tails trying to get any information about Saul.

Maybe she didn’t get off scot free. It’s possible that the reason he was so upset is something about law enforcement following her or even bringing her in came up in the call. He’s super protective and might have gotten upset as she was in trouble.

With the $5 million reward for his capture, I think he may gift himself to someone, maybe Kim if possible.

Oh, I like that one. He realizes he is not redeemable and that he has ruined Kim so he sacrifices himself for her to move on and have a good life. The one down side is they have very much made Kim capable on her own, so I'm not sure they would want Jimmy to save her.

I think we’ll see how it goes. The writers of the show so tend to be purposeful in their use of imagery, so I think they had that wanted poster for a reason. Whether it’s Kim of Francesca or Marion cashing in on it, who knows yet. $5 mil is a lot of money though. I am really surprised that Jeff didn’t go for it before he got himself blackmailed. I think he could get himself out of any charges it he gave up Saul, or the prison time might be worth the price.

My major question is with this last grift. The guy with cancer is almost certainly going to wake up, while Saul is in his home. It seems like a suicide mission and Saul is purposely turning himself over to the cops.

I know they had the police scene at the end of the episode and I feel like they are teasing what you mention above, but kind of feel like its a misdirect. My hypothesis is Carol Burnett will turn him in using that fancy laptop to search for him after seeing all of them go to the garage in the last episode.

Wasn’t a big fan of the last two episodes. I sometimes find Jimmy’s long cons tedious.

Yeah we haven’t loved the last couple, was really invested in the BCS storyline and that’s all wrapped up, find it hard to care about Jeffy and this con. Obviously we’ll watch it out to finish it, but yeah, wish they hadn’t wrapped everything up with Lalo and the main plot so early.

Unless he gets caught for these new crimes he's committing with his posse, could he have gotten off? I suppose he could claim he went into hiding because of fears of the cartel.. assuming nobody spilled the beans on him. Maybe Skyler did?

The Feds found his off shore accounts and dummy businesses. I was never sure what they had on him when he went into hiding but he’s definitely looking at tax evasion charges.

Not sure this is 100% genuine, and even if it is what Bob Odenkirk actually said when it was filmed may not be relevant to the story, being that the intention is that we don't hear the conversation:

As much as I love bcs, I'm skeptical it ends same high quality as bb. So far this season has been great, but, not as perfect as bb was. Maybe I'm just a huge Cranston fan

Rhea was on Seth Meyers this week. She hinted Carol Burnett has a big move coming up.

Holy crap, it was bugging me ever since watching the episode that I knew that guy from somewhere but couldn't place him, then as soon as I saw the name Buzz it clicked. That guy plays an awesome sleazebag
