Better Call Saul: Site Explains Lalo Salamanca’s Twist at the End of the First Half of Season 6

[Atenção: o texto possui spoilers da 6ª temporada de Better Call Saul]

Anyway, the first part of the sixth and final season of Better Call Saul (2015) came to an end this Tuesday, 24, with the episode “Plan and Execution,” directed by Thomas Schnauz. At the end of the chapter, Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), invades the house of Jimmy/Saul (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim (Rhea Seehorn) and kills Howard (Patrick Fabian).

In the final season of the spin-off of breaking bad (2008) created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gouldtwo main conflicts move the plot: the Saul and Kim to harm Howardand the conflict (almost a war) between Lalowho pretended to be dead, and Gus Fringplayed by Giancarlo Esposito.

Unable to find evidence to accuse Gus Fringwho builds a super meth lab under a laundry room, for the cartel, Lalo Salamanca inform the uncle Hector (Mark Margolis) as will follow “Plan A.” This moment leads to the apartment of Kimand the villain finds Howard confronting the protagonist couple – and shoots the lawyer in the head without hesitation.

Second Screen Rant, Lalo may have seen Howard as a loose end to tie up – and that doomed the lawyer. For being given up for dead to the cartel, Lalo Salamanca I wouldn’t risk breaking the cover if Howard get out of the apartment alive. Had he escaped with his life, he could have reported the event to the authorities. In other words, the decision was made by the criminal to remain anonymous – and to proceed with the plan to end Gus Fring.

In addition, kill Howard in cold blood he showed his power before Saul and Kim. It was not clear whether Lalo went to the apartment with the intention of murdering someone, but the fact that he brought a gun with a silencer implied how prepared the character was for a possible confrontation.

Why did Lalo kill Howard in Better Call Saul?

Perhaps, as the site pointed out, the villain could have used the gun just to threaten the couple of lawyers, and he put on the silencer when he saw it. Howard with Kim and Saul. It was a merciless way of showing how Lalo simply won’t take “no” for an answer – and the protagonists will be forced to cooperate.

Saul and Kim Will they come out of this conflict unscathed? what will happen to Lalo? he will kill the Kimwhich has no mention in breaking bad? These and other questions will be answered starting July 12, 2022, when the sixth season will continue to air on Netflix in Brazil.
