‘Better Call Saul’s’ Rhea Seehorn & Co-Creator Peter Gould On Kim Wexler’s Fate, Tonight’s Seminal Episode & The Beginning Of The End: “It’s Nothing But Bananas From Here On Out”
deadline.comSPOILER ALERT: This article contains details of tonight’s “Fun and Games” episode of the final season of Better Call Saul.“You asked if you were bad for me,” Rhea Seehorn’s Kim Wexler says to Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman in tonight’s fifth to last episode of AMC’s Better Call Saul. “That’s not it,” the recently Emmy-nominated actress adds. “We are bad for each other.”Full of anything but fun and games, the Michael Morris directed and Ann Cherkis penned “Fun and Games” episode took Wexler and Goodman’s relationship seemingly over a cliff, as well as calcified others like Jonathan Banks’ heavy Mike Ehrmantraut and Giancarlo Esposito’s drug lord Gus Fring.
