In a series as plenteous and superimposed asBetter Call Saul , basically any instalment you put on is going to be great . There are , of track , wide affect masterpieces likeChicaneryandFun and Games , but for every universally beloved episode , there are also some that have fell a little more under the radio detection and ranging .
As was the example withBreaking Bad , Better Call Saul‘s predecessor , this show often savour having the meter to congeal up climaxes . These episodes spanSaul‘s integral run and are a reminder of how full even a fairly regular episode of the show could be .

6. Nippy (Season 6, Episode 10)
The final few episode ofBetter Call Saulprobably were n’t what anyone expected them to be . We saw Jimmy ’s final transformation into Saul Goodman in episode 9 , and there was n’t much more story to say there .
What did the show do instead ? It flashed us forward to Jimmy ’s life after Saul , when he ’s go as the director of a Cinnabon and trying to live his life all con - free . The wrench in that plan turns out to be a delightful Carol Burnett , who shows up and in the end make Jimmy veer back into a life of scheming and misrepresentation .
5. Quite a Ride (Season 4, Episode 5)
Quite a Rideis thrilling in part because it ’s our first feel at Jimmy in his Saul geological era , and it comes with flirt about a phone call that Jimmy will meet at a specific time and date . In the meat of the episode , though , we see that Kim is focusing too much on her pro bono clients and ignoring Mesa Verde , and that Jimmy is busy sell payphones to humbled - level criminals while his law permit is suspend .
Mike , meanwhile , is evaluating applied scientist for the edifice of Gus ’s meth lab . And Jimmy decides after meeting Howard that he want to continue commit practice of law when his suspension is up .

Chuck , meanwhile , makes it clear that he has mistrusted Jimmy his whole biography , ever since they were kids when Jimmy skimmed cash from the register at their parents ’ convenient computer storage .
3. Hit and Run (Season 6, Episode 4)
This installment features some solid con work as Kim and Jimmy go forward to orchestrate their retaliation on Howard , but that ’s not what drives the episode ahead . Instead , reach and Rungives us the first interaction between Mike and Kim , as Mike excuse that Lalo may still be awake , which is why both Jimmy and Kim are being succeed .
Kim chooses to keep this selective information from Jimmy , and the instalment close up with Jimmy recover the authority space that will eventually become his spot inBreaking Bad . It ’s a shot - set episode , to be sure , but a vivid one .
2. Coushatta (Season 4, Episode 8)
Earning this spot for the intromission of Lalo alone would be fine , butCoushattais not bad even outside of that obscure moment . It features one of Jimmy and Kim ’s great cons , as they get Huell out of jail by orchestrating a bogus letter - writing campaign from Huell ’s hometown .
It ’s also an episode that opens the fissure between Werner and Mike , and features a moment when Kim seems to realize how much she hat the study she does all day . It ’s a comical , dark episode that functions as double-dyed setup for the ramp - up to the finale .
1. Expenses (Season 3, Episode 7)
A monolithic installment in which no major event in reality befall , Expensesis perhaps most of import because of the way it arrange in motion Chuck ’s final declination .
