Better Call Saul’s newest episode will break your heart in the most unexpected way possible when Nacho Varga meets his fate.
The first two episodes of Better Call Saul’s sixth season revolved all-around Nacho Varga. With so much happening around him and the entire cartel running for his blood, it was obvious that he is going to have a tragic fate. But, this writer wasn’t sure that it would happen all so soon and in such an out of the box manner.
Better Call Saul is getting crazier
Better Call Saul’s finale season is turning out to be the show that we expected. It is getting better and better with every passing episode. The first two episodes particularly developed Nacho Varga’s character and as soon as we had started sympathising with him, he is no more in the show.
The third episode opened where the second episode left, Varga was driving a wretched car that he stole to escape the Salamanca Twins, which broke in the middle of nowhere. Then he hid in the tanker and somehow survived when the twins came looking for him.
With all of this happening and everyone in the cartel hunting for Nacho Varga, it was starting to seem that he wouldn’t make it till the end. But, Breaking Bad has taught us that anything can happen in this franchise and with Mike Ehrmantraut on his side, he might survive.
Nacho Varga is no more in the show
The moment Varga called Mike Ehrmantraut after talking to his father, it seemed something was about to change. In the same call when he spoke to Gus Fring and agreed on sacrificing himself to save him in front of the cartel just in return for his father’s life, it seemed it’s an end to Michael Mando in the series.
Still, Mike travelling with Fring and Varga in the same van and stopping by at a height with a sniper gave a vibe that the tables might turn and Nacho might survive. And, till the time Mando’s character gave his brutal speech to Don Hector (Mark Margolis) and then stole Juan Bolsa’s (Javier Grajeda) gun it seemed Varga wasn’t going anywhere. But, then he shot himself out of the blue and the episode ended.
Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman continue their business
All of this chaos is happening on one side, then there’s another side where the attorneys are planning a valet heist. Here, Jimmy takes help from his old friend, Huell, to duplicate Howard Hamlin’s car keys.
While Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman are planning to con Howard, Assistant District Attorney Suzanne Ericsen reaches out to Wexler to discuss Jimmy’s history and the history of his clients. Ericsen had discovered that Jorge de Guzman and Lalo are the same people. She signalled towards the direction that Jimmy’s representing Nacho and Tuco Salamanca seems like he is working with the drug cartel.
At last, Jimmy is given a choice to either be a friend of the cartel or be a rat. There’s no final word from the lawyer yet, but he is more likely to stick to his status, after all, there’s a lot of money in that business.
The show is walking in Breaking Bad’s footsteps
The show is completely walking in Breaking Bad’s footsteps where we don’t know what might happen in the next moment. So, whatever happens in Better Call Saul it will have brutal repercussions. It would be fascinating to see how Varga’s shooting himself turns out for the forthcoming episodes. And, where do Kim Wexler and Saul Goodman end up with their valet heist?
Now, when we know Walter White and Jesse Pinkman will return in this season, that makes every episode more happening and we are waiting to see how they make their debut and under what circumstance.
The fourth episode of Better Call Saul’s sixth season, Hit and Run will release on 2nd May 2022.
