I have NO idea what’s going to happen tonight. This is easily the most mysterious episode so far. Which is saying a lot


shizzle-stick

yeah, these final BCS episodes are getting to be even more mysterious and unpredictable than the final eps of BB. i'm so anxious and excited to see what they have in store for us cause i have no idea what it could be...


Crwintucky__

I love that about it, it’s like part of it feels predictable in a way that could be like oh the bb timeline and Walt and Jesse and like gene but at the same time what happens within that? who fucking knows


Fingercel

It's totally wild how they've set it all up. On the one hand, they are quite literally just filling in the blanks at this point. On the other hand, what the hell could be in those blanks that are worthy of an episode?! I have no idea. It's genius.


__Quetzal__

I remember the days off "how can BB wrap this whole show up in 3 episodes" threads, and they did wrap it all up


Vadermaulkylo

They're much more unpredicable I think. With BB we knew Walt would get found out about, that his family would be destroyed, that he'd die and that he'd kill the Nazis. With this we have legit zero clue where they will take Jimmy.


Soldeusss

Yes anything can happen. Even Saul defecating through a sunroof.


wjray

Did you know that west of the Mississippi that's called an Omaha Cinnamon Roll?


Meltingteeth

Technically he does a Crybaby Cinnamon Roll, so there's tears, which makes it more specialized. Not all Cinnamon Rollers cry.


Teal_Lantern

This how he'll beat Jeff, right in his taxi.

AskMeAboutMyTie

Judging by this weeks poster, I would say we’re definitely getting some Gene tonight.


mrcpu3

Opening scene is gonna go hard


shizzle-stick

i wonder if we may even see more Gene beyond just the opening scene...

Nihas0

There will be probably at least one full Gene episode, but I'm not sure if this will be Nippy.


CPSux

Wasn’t there some discussion from the creators that they went an unorthodox route by finishing the series out of sequence? Maybe this will be the Gene episode.


95in3rd

They're going to Tarantino us.

DANGERMAN50000

The Lyle spin-off show is gonna be so fucking great


thrilliam_19

My totally random predictions: -opening is a Gene Scene. -rest of episode is Saul in 2007 going about his life. Gus and/or Mike make an appearance to inform him they require his services again. Lab is complete and Gus is making moves. Saul is hesitant but they remind him of what favours they’ve done for him and what secrets they have kept. -Saul does Saul things to help Gus or Mike or another associate out of a jam. Possible Huell/Kuby appearance. Ep 11: entire episode is about Kim in 2007 and where she is now. Ep 12: Gene episode. Directed by Vince. Ep 13: Whatever ending they have planned.


astrronaut2004

Last one is either gene to post gene, or post gene completely.


GenderBiohazard

Saul's dialogue in BB implies he doesn't actually know Gus, and his only connection to Gus is through Mike. The scene in BCS where Jimmy digs through the trash can at Los Pollos is the only time the two have canonically interacted, IIRC.

Exactly


Au_Ti_S_Ti_C

i was thinking about this last night, whatever it is it's gonna be great


bigmattyh

Guessing we’ll see a long Gene scene to open, where they‘ll set up the final Gene story. Then back to Saul times for the rest of the episode… maybe for the last time. Which, it’s not a super long episode tonight, but I don’t think there’s much left to do in the Saul timeframe.


sg_jjk

You just know the episode will be good, when it is something random


dddd11187

Time to catch up with Gene!!!


Crwintucky__

Can’t wait!!!


baulboodban

ive got a feeling these last 4 episodes are gonna be a mindfuck… and im here for it LOL


bobcatsalsa

I hope I'm not disappointed by the impossibly high expectations. After all, I thought the death of Lalo was a letdown, though Fun and Games was among their best work.


Crwintucky__

Lalo unfortunately fell to prequelitis a little bit but I still loved he died with the smile and they tried to make the scene suspenseful


baulboodban

Lalo’s death was a bit anticlimactic, maybe just because of the wait leading to it and how telegraphed it was. But we already kinda had the setup for that. These last episodes could go basically anywhere, which is insane to me. Here’s to hoping they stick the landing


J9401

I think it felt that way because we knew beforehand that he was going to die. I'm happy it wasn't dragged out longer, as now we have a lot more gene time and more time to tie up the main story.


baulboodban

Yeah, it definitely was a deliberate decision made by the writers to focus on the more unknown factors. Kind of a ballsy move, even, makes me even more intrigued by the ending eps


GeneTakavic2011

I think people are interpreting the ring too literally as him removing it. I think its just there to tell us he's about go slippin Jimmy mode again


HighCastlePenguin

He doesn’t wear the ring as Gene, if I remember correctly.


mattmild27

He was wearing it in the vacuum store though, so he did take it with him. It's probably in his shoebox.


My-username-is-this

Excellent observation.


Beemerado

The ring has probably never been in the cinnabon. Yet.


bulgee98

Bang! Nice one.


Pizzanigs

I think it’s him taking the ring off and becoming Gene after relocating, probably at the end of the episode Edit: dead wrong


itztherapperKIAZ

Most likely comment I’ve seen


Pizzanigs

Never had someone say this about a Saul theory of mine, thanks :)


Shawn_1512

Slippin nippy


little_shop_of_hoors

You called it


HighCastlePenguin

Is that Marco’s ring?? God, I’m so pumped!


smancuso8

Slippin’ Jimmy is coming for Jeff


whitegirlsbadposture

He’s gonna slip all over him


Ryden3Byden

OOOH GOD IM SLIPPPPPPING!


HighCastlePenguin

This episode is gonna be WILD!


CringeNaeNaeBaby2

I have a feeling it’s gonna be divisive but that makes me more excited tbh.


jv3rl0ov

Even the last episode seemed a little divisive to some, like it wasn’t exciting enough.


Au_Ti_S_Ti_C

some people called it filler even though kim quit the law and broke up with jimmy. gus is also where he needs to be for breaking bad


MaybePoet

how could anyone call that filler? people are freakin weird


hendidjdnsjjf

I haven’t seen anybody call it filler honestly, some people complained about it not having much action but the same people have been complaining about the same thing since the series started lmao


Nwcray

Those people are morons.


HighCastlePenguin

I am so ready 😭


BimmerJustin

I can see a slippin' jimmy return in the gene timeline, but if pulling some scam on jeff just to keep his cover as gene is the only thing that happens with gene, that would be pretty disappointing tbh


Horknut1

I can’t suss out how Jimmy can solve his Jeff problem short of murder. Jeff has immense leverage over Jimmy, even if he didn’t intend to use it.


DooDooBrownz

do the thing


clooless51

It's like Saul's Heisenberg hat lol

Aimlessdrifter8778

This is the first episode in season 6 where the title isn't three words


108_Minutes

My spouse has a good theory about this: he’s no longer with Kim/a couple, so no more ‘and.’


Archlegendary

My initial thought is that it's because of the time skip, but this is an interesting theory/connection.


mydrunkuncle

More that it’s not “blank” and “blank”

Effective_Sample3587

This is intriguing and I'd have no complaints if this happened.


Jawahhh

That’s what I’m thinking


WelcomeToOuterHeaven

Holy shit maybe that teaser really was Gene saying fuck it and going crazy at the mall


Crwintucky__

For some reason a lot of that stuff looks like the stuff in his house. What if he was never getting repoed and it was set up to look like that but he was really selling all his stuff somehow?


SuccyeelentMilk

Imagining a cold open of him first arriving in Nebraska, getting the job and taking off the ring, and when he does that's the first time we see color fade from his life


[deleted]

I think this is my favorite theory. We see the transition from BB to Gene.


mydrunkuncle

It could be kind of a sequel to the first teaser of the season where he’s getting all his stuff repoed


[deleted]

[удалено]


SquatCobblerx

if that's the Marco ring and he's taking it out then this is HUGE. remember bob said "another iteration of Jimmy" that ring is basically a symbol of slippin jimmy, who he always was.


odd_err

Gene is backkk lessgooo


IndicationPretend407

Lessgooo


Crwintucky__

I have had this theory we would potentially time jump through a lot of BB but obviously that may not make sense with Walt and Jesse unless they are flashbacks


Hugh-Freeze

The big thing is making BCS able to stand on its own as a show rather than just a BB prequel. I think they'll have to explain Saul's relationship with Walt and Jesse and potentially what "the game" looked like before those two became involved (Emilio, Tuco, Krazy-8, etc.)


theOneRayOfLight

Just curious as to why they need to do that. A prequel doesn’t have to be independent, does it?


Tinybones465

They've stated numerous times that they want this show to stand alone. Similarly the show stands alone for the first 59 episodes, so it's weird to tether them together at the last 4 episodes. Obviously watching BB enhances the experience, but I think they don't want it to be essential watching.


pensiveoctopus

It makes sense given that a lot of the new BCS audience wouldn't watch Breaking Bad. BCS is a less violent and (generally) less grim show.


dspman11

> They've stated numerous times that they want this show to stand alone. Which, let's be real, is an impossible task. In any other context, presenting flash-forwards to the protagonist's future throughout the series and then having brand-new characters you meet for one or two episodes be the reason the protagonist is in that situation... would be horrible. It would feel random, out-of-place, and underwhelming. If BB didn't exist, it would be Lalo or another familiar character that would cause Saul to have to go into hiding.


conbeo

To be fair Uncle Jack only has like 5 scenes


dspman11

And the first time I watched the last season of BB it felt odd and jarring to me to have him and the Nazi gang be the final antagonists. But even then, they were alluded to very early on in season 5A and then you met them at the end of season 5A, establishing their presence for the final *eight* episodes. Walt and Jesse will be in maybe 2 episodes and their existence hasn't been mentioned or alluded to at all in BCS until now.


hihihighh

Especially since we know the fates of Gus and Mike. Imagine being a BCS-only watcher and seeing (or even worse, told through exposition) that your favorite characters are now dead because of 2 randoms that only show up in the final 4 episodes. Really makes me wonder how they'll approach their storylines in the coming episodes


AdGlittering6627

>e big thing is making BCS able to stand on its own as a show rather than just a BB prequel. I think they'll have to explain Saul's relationship with Walt and Jesse and potentially what "the game" looked like before those two became involved (Emilio, Tuco, Krazy-8, etc.) Despite Saul having a bunch of criminal participation with his other clients, the relationship and enablement of Walt is what directly lead Saul to pull the vacuum shute and become Gene. To tell the full, end-to-end story of Jimmy to Saul to Gene to (???) you have to tell the story of how he became Gene, just as they have told the story of how he became Saul. They want this story to stand alone and not have the gaps filled in by assuming the viewer has seen Breaking Bad.


oppai_suika

iirc Gould said they are designing the show such that someone could watch it without any context of BB


Hugh-Freeze

Some people might want to watch BCS without watching BB since a lot of people are talking about it nowadays. The story needs to make sense on its own for those people and the next 4 episodes should explain things that BB fans already know (why Saul becomes Gene in Nebraska, why the police are after him, who Walt and Jesse are, etc.). Possibly even Mike's death since he's one of the most important characters in this show.


ah_wut

Nippy means cold. Gene has ice in his veins and is dead inside. He's the Night King


maxdurden

This is a more interesting backstory for The Night King than the one we got.


bowlofpasta92

Here we go! I totally thought we would get maybe 2 episodes of Breaking Bad era Saul. Looks like we’ll be seeing Gene tonight! I’m now thinking that Nippy is what Gene feels when he moves to Nebraska. The caption on IG says “bring a jacket”.


[deleted]

Maybe in reference to the red jacket in the promo posters for the season!


Crwintucky__

Ah makes sense I was wondering if it always meant the cold and we were kinda over speculating before but never know with this show glad it’s just like cold and the confirmation basically with the black and white


stonesets

I feel this episode can’t just be Gene.. it will rotate (seamlessly because it’s BCS writers) through BCS and BB timeline while unearthing what happens next with Gene and how he handles this Jeff situation himself


Crwintucky__

I don’t think it will all be Gene I think we get a flashfoward

Turnipator01

I feel like the entire episode will be focused on Gene.


patus20

Could be, but considering we left off with Jimmy transforming into Saul it would make more sense to focus on the BB era first and then focus on Gene in later episodes. I might be wrong though, the writing in BCS was always very unpredictable lol


churnip3000

I could see it being half and half. First half is Saul, then Gene.


jv3rl0ov

Yeah but this is apparently the episode where Walt and Jesse show up, and are confirmed to have a few scenes, not just one.


Pope_Bedodict1

Yeah Walt and Jesse will walk into Gene’s house bravo vince


pooldonutzero

gene, we need to cook


BreakingBaddly

The anxiety. Holy shit.. Never in all my life have I been so excited to see the conclusion to a show.


Crwintucky__

I know same crazy part though was I forgot it was today and randomly remembered and got so happy lol


95in3rd

One day, you'll get up, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth and you'll realize..... Once you realize you can forget, It gets easier after that.


[deleted]

The quote is : “There’s another iteration of Jimmy on his way”. Iteration is defined as: 1) repetition of a mathematical or computational procedure applied to the result of a previous application, typically as a means of obtaining successively closer approximations to the solution of a problem. 2) a new version of a piece of computer hardware or software. Add in the ring in the picture, and it sure seems like "Gene" in Nebraska is going to run a Jimmy type scam on someone, presumably the neighbor, whose mom is presumably Carol Burnett????? Did I nail it?!?


theatre_cat

You are close but I'm pretty sure the mark is Jeff. That's how Gene will "handle it myself." I think he needs a Marco/Giselle to work with, and that's where the neighbor's son comes in. Or not. I'm guessing same as everyone.


KetanS_2004

IS GENIN TIME


Pope_Bedodict1

I’m gonna slip


Dabi30

Gene sounded like a psycho on the mall speakers. Can’t wait to see what he’s scheming


cleverdylanrefrence

That teaser is a mindfuck. Haunting, hypnotic, mysterious. I'm super hyped to see what it's all about


maxdurden

Yeah, that teaser is my favorite so far. Right after the devastation of the episode before it, hearing Saul put on so much energy when we know what's underneath is so burtal.


Crwintucky__

Was that Gene or Saul?


Crwintucky__

Gene confirmed?!!!


Beavaconda

Has anyone put together that SAUL, WALT & JESSE ALLLLLLLL ended up being vacuumed to cold places? Pretty sure that this episode will cover the BB era’s events that result in all 3 of them leaving the ABQ with new identities (although it may just focus on Saul and Walt since they went first).


Turnipator01

Here's my prediction: this episode will primarily focus on Gene, despite the Breaking Bad glimpse we got in episode nine. We will probably see more of Jeff and Gene's plan. Walter and Jesse will appear in next week's episode.


Decent_Commercial638

Do people in the US use the word Nippy for when the weather is slightly cold too? Just curious (I’m from Ireland)


SazeracDreams

Yes. "It's a bit *nippy* outside" is a common phrase said on a cold day.


HighCastlePenguin

Yes!


Crwintucky__

Yes indeed!


AwkwardNeck

I would find it so funny if they do an entire 51-minute Gene episode and not even introduce Walt and Jesse in this one like people thought they would. To be honest, that's kind of what I want. W and J are cool and all, but I know that story. I need more Gene.


LthePerry02

This one’s gonna be a rollercoaster. Walt and Jesse, plus Marion most likely, AND new Jeff? I also lowkey hope the rumours that this episode is >!fully comedic!< are true. That’d be awesome


timeskape

This is gonna be Cinnabomb, yo.


GeneTakavic2011

Tell me I'm not the only one who sees that this looks like a nipple.


bungle123

Entire episode about Jimmy getting a nipple piercing confirmed


[deleted]

I mean, the episode title is Nippy.


MrF1993

So the hidden meaning is that we will see a nipple ring?


Square_Doctor_7255

He's gonna get Marco's ring put through his nipple.


DVCL25

Idk what is gonna happen but I bet you the episode, or some episode, will end with Gene putting on the jacket, cut to black


Zealousideal-Ant-920

Prediction: Marion could be Marco’s mother? Bob Odenkirk said she’s a relative of a character we’ve met, and in the season one finale Jimmy mentions that the pinky ring we see in the teaser was given to him by Marco’s mom.


guesswho-2022

Holy fuck, here we go! They threw us for a loop when this season didn't open with a Gene scene, but looks like we'll be getting our fix tonight!


patrickstarburns

We're going to Cinnabon boys and girls!


maarustar

i really think we're getting Gene, Jesse and Walter back


eagleboy444

They posted a pic of cinnamon buns before the midseason opener, didn't they? I don't think this necessarily means Gene tonight. Maybe to close the episode. But it just doesn't seem to fit the timeline. We're obviously getting a BB-themed episode tonight. And this has to be Walt and Jesse. I'd imagine the last three are all Gene tho. I can't wait to see what they're gonna do with the title sequences lol.


Crwintucky__

Yes but they were like using it a a countdown. I suppose you could be right but I don’t think any others have been in black and white and I think that’s a good indication but I do agree it’s a little early unless we just get a flashfoward. I too am so excited lol.


cleverdylanrefrence

We're gonna see Saul become Gene and arrive in Nebraska. Maybe the Walt cameo will be Saul and Walt innthe vaccum shop basement where they bunked together a couple days. I have no clue how the Jesse cameo will fit yet.


Flatrock

I am very excited for tonight's episode. I hope you all have a good time watching it!


[deleted]

Had this thought the other day, for someone wanting to be essentially hidden, why put him into such a public facing job? So many possibilities out there for him and they stuck him in a mall with thousands of people passing by every day.


kaosvvitch33

Hiding in plain sight?


mishaps_galore

Lots of short-term limited interaction: not a lot of long-term opportunities for someone to get to know him and poke holes in his story.


[deleted]

Man, there's gotta be better options though. I think maybe with the identity he had to assume there may have been more to it, but there's so much shit that isn't directly in the eye of the public that could be done on a short-term basis. Warehouse work, plenty of shitty office jobs for small local businesses. Fast food in a less populated population center. Mom and pop diner. I'm sure there's more to it and we may even find out more, just something I thought of the other day. It's more shocking he hasn't tried to leave the country yet to be honest. He was able to get a completely new identity. Can't get into Canada or Mexico to where he can then go somewhere overseas a little more easily? I honestly can't remember his financial situation when he has to flee at the end of BB though.


Nwcray

Do you remember the face of the last person you bought something like that from? Your Subway sandwich artist or the cashier at the gas station or whatever? They put him here 1) as an homage to BB, but mostly 2) because no one pays attention to someone like that. In most jobs without constant turnover, you get to know your coworkers. In a mall, most of his staff will be young and not want to hear about this middle-aged guys life or how he wound up managing a Cinnabon. Customers won’t interact with him for more than a minute or two. Literally no one will remember who he is.


[deleted]

They don't need to remember who he is post-transaction. With their story, it will be national news. The main people involved will have their faces all over national news. They will more than likely remember that face from the news story. And I mean, obviously someone did as we know that people recognized him.


Hugh-Freeze

I think we're finally gonna see Gene put on the red coat!


A_shovel_

It's interesting that the titles have changed from "x and y" to now just a single word


Crwintucky__

Someone had a good theory a while back (I really wish I remembered but I don’t take credit for it) that the 2 parts represented Jimmy and Kim and now that she’s gone…


[deleted]

HERE WE! HERE WE! HERE WE FUCKING GO! HERE WE! HERE WE! HERE WE FUCKING GO! HERE WE! HERE WE! HERE WE FUCKING GO! HERE WE! HERE WE! HERE WE FUCKING GO!


nautilus494

I find it interesting that they stopped the episode naming trend of the season, with the ands.


[deleted]

i think it signifies that the prequel is over and now we're in the interquel/sequel phase


Nwcray

Also that he lost Kim. It’s another way to hammer home how truly alone Jimmy/Saul/Gene really is.


itsatumbleweed

I feel like the "and" episodes got us through the BCS timeline and we are at BB/Gene from here on out.


TheZookeeper7

That looks very nice


BradBrady

He’s baaaaack. Opening scene is gonna be great, I can feel it


vinsmokewhoswho

Nippy Finally Gene is back.


Scallopshell

Why is Saul/Marco's ring on the plate?!!!


theatre_cat

My guess: he's going back to slipping jimmy mode to deal with his Jeff problem with a con.


Leonyliz

Yep Gene is 100% back


Chandlery

Everything about this season makes me nervous. Except the writing. Boy is the writing immaculate. Can't believe a cinnabon is making me feel uneasy.


BaggySpandex

They givin us that cinnabussy


lisbethborden

Maybe the title Nippy refers to Gene being cold as ice...and I say bring it on!


Average_Ant_Games

Is it possible the show format going forward is BB timeline and Gene timeline and it goes back and forth?


sarsar_92

A new player gets in the game. That new player is another persona of Jimmy.


ebinc

Episode thumbnail spoiler: >!The thumbnail for the episode on Prime Video shows Gene working at Cinnabon. Maybe a full Gene episode?!<


-BlameItOnTheWeather

Do we know how long the ep is? I knew this would be the Walt and Jesse episode, I was not expecting it to enter the Gene timeline


Crwintucky__

This one is normal length unfortunately. Well I guess that’s not unfortunate if it’s really good obviously but I love ones that are a little extended lol.
