That Kim and Howard scene was really powerful.

Kim is so loyal. How Jimmy fucks that up is going to be so tragic.

What if he doesn't? We've been pretty much assuming from the get go that "since Kim isn't in Breaking Bad, x has to happen and Jimmy pushes Kim away" but...I'm seeing much more loyalty at this point than I thought we were gonna see from Kim. What if she ends up playing along with Saul Goodman (we already saw her enjoy taking part in Slippin' Jimmy scams) to the point where Jimmy himself is ashamed at what he's made HER become, and cuts her loose.

Or she could die as a result of a Saul Goodman scam where Jimmy knew there was a risk involved and she was so into it she forced herself into it. Which would be the same end result in a much more brutal way.

I don't know, I just feel we've been locked in on "Jimmy becomes Saul, Kim doesn't like Saul, Kim leaves" but what if it's the opposite? It would be even more tragic if he corrupted her outright by drawing her into his schemes.

Granted, it would be really effing cool to see them be a successful Bonnie and Clyde type couple for a bit (and they would probably even reference it) but it's gonna go too far. That's my guess.

Like when she helped him scam that guy into giving them expensive Tequila in season 2. You could see that she enjoyed the excitement of doing something 'rebellious' like that, that didn't fit with the lifestyle of working at HHM.

Also honestly that was one of my favourite scenes with them both together, so that whole Bonnie & Clyde thing I would snort up that kind of content like blue meth.
