Better Call Saul season 6, episode 9 ends with a time jump during which Jimmy fully embraces his "Saul Goodman" alter ego. How much time passes?
Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad
Time flies when you're having fun and games - here's how long Better Call Saul season 6, episode 9's time jump lasts. The backstory of Bob Odenkirk's Jimmy McGill begins with the significantly-less-sleazy title character working as a small-time lawyer in May 2002. A little over 2 years pass between Better Call Saul season 1 and season 6 - confirmed by Gus Fring's charity check dated June 2004 in "Plan & Execution."
That chapter is brought to a close by the final moments of Better Call Saul season 6, episode 9 ("Fun & Games") when a time jump occurs after Kim quits as a lawyer and breaks off her marriage. Jimmy is then shown living at the mansion from Better Call Saul season 6's premiere (most likely purchased with Sandpiper money), and driving his iconic Cadillac from Breaking Bad. His hair is becoming thinner, he's sleeping with sex workers, and as Jimmy talks over the phone to Francesca, it becomes apparent that any compassion or empathy he felt as "Jimmy McGill" has now been vanquished. Saul Goodman's office, meanwhile, has been remodeled into the design Breaking Bad viewers will fondly remember.
