Finally, the sixth season of Better Call Saul returned after a nearly two-month hiatus with the episode “point and shoot,” eighth of the last phase of the spin-off of breaking bad. In the chapter, the audience witnesses the death of the main villain of the season: Lalo Salamancaplayed by Tony Dalton.

While Better Call Saul continues to follow Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and the characters he encounters in the criminal underworld of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and connections to breaking bad. The previous episode, “Plan and Execution,” showed Lalo at Jimmy’s apartment for help killing Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito).

However, in “point and shoot,” Lalo is murdered by Gus after trying to break into the underground laundry room, where the character of Giancarlo Esposito was building a meth superlab hidden from the cartel run by Don Eladio (Steven Bauer).

Why did Lalo die in ‘Point and Shoot’?

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Gouldproducer and one of the creators of Better Call Saultalked about why Lalo die when he died in the production of AMC. “It would be a totally reasonable choice to save these very dramatic deaths for the last two episodes, but we have other situations to show,” she said.

“It’s not something that we necessarily draw on a board and say, ‘This is the episode to do this’ and ‘this is the episode to do that,’ but our main focus is really on character development and psychology, so it kind of organically fell here which is where these things would happen,” continued Gould. “But there’s still a lot more drama to come.”
