Fans of "Breaking Bad" have a lot to look forward to next Monday as two of the most loved characters of the show will be reunited in the new spin-off series, "Better Call Saul."
The spin-off focuses on the life of cunning lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) several years before he starts using that name. In "Better Call Saul," the future highly publicized Albuquerque lawyer is still a small-time attorney known as Jimmy McGill. He struggles to keep his law firm by representing all types of clients, even the bad ones.
In episode 6 of the series titled "Five-O," Jimmy has to interact with retired police officer Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), who was also a part of the stellar characters of the original series. Although the two have already met earlier in the season because of several traffic violations, Jimmy and Mike barely know each other. But it seems like the new episode will compel the two to interact more because of the upcoming events in their lives.
According to the official synopsis of the episode, Mike might have to rely on Jimmy to help him with his legal predicaments after some of his past mistakes come back to haunt him. It reads:
"Mike's tragic past comes back to haunt him, and he's forced to seek help from an unusual source. Meanwhile, Jimmy's moral compass is put to the test."
Does this mean that Mike will need Jimmy's legal expertise in order to fix his legal issues?
Aside from his impending legal battle, viewers will also see Mike's personal life in the coming episode. In the original series, Mike is known to be a very private person, and he almost has no friends to boot. The dynamics that Mike and Jimmy form in this series will result to what they have in "Breaking Bad."
"Better Call Saul" episode 6 airs on Monday, March 9.
