Kim Wexler and Jesse Pinkman have similar arcs.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Since its 2015 debut, Better Call Saul has sparked numerous comparisons to its predecessor, Breaking Bad, primarily because Saul Goodman and Walter White share similar paths toward destruction — though there are other characters whose stories mirror one another. Kim Wexler, Saul's love interest and former business partner, faces a similar struggle to that of Jesse Pinkman, Walter's partner in meth production.
Despite being set years before the timeline of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul seamlessly connects to the other series, with Vince Gilligan masterfully weaving Walter's and Saul's stories together. Both shows emphasize the impact these characters have on one another, as well as supporting players like Skyler White, Hank Schrader, and Mike Ehrmantraut.
Much in the same way Jesse's life is derailed by Walter, Kim's is ruined by Saul Goodman. Even when the two reconcile at the ending of Better Call Saul, it's only after Kim's career has been upended and her life destroyed by the guilt of Howard Hamlin's death. Her story mirrors Jesse's; it just has a different connection at the center. Kim and Saul share a romantic relationship in Better Call Saul, while Jesse and Walter have more of a father-son bond in Breaking Bad.
The Better Call Saul Scene Where Kim Meets Jesse Foreshadows Their Fates In one of the more poignant scenes in Better Call Saul season 6, Kim leaves Saul's office to find Jesse standing outside. This is before the events of Breaking Bad, but Jesse has a friend who needs legal representation. He asks Kim if she thinks that Saul is "any good.
She also tells Jesse to get a lawyer, but that eventually leads Jesse to hire Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad. Saul and his ability to maneuver Walter is one of the reasons Heisenberg becomes such a big deal, with Jesse getting caught in the fallout. By the end of Better Call Saul, Kim also needs a lawyer after confessing to Howard's widow. This brings things full circle for both characters.
