"I Definitely Thought She Could...": Rhea Seehorn's Kim Expectation Makes Better Call Saul Ending Even Better
Rhea Seehorn, who delivered a powerhouse performance as Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, recently shared her own expectations for Kim’s fate—and it adds a fascinating new layer to the show’s critically acclaimed ending.
What Seehorn Initially Believed About Kim’s Ending:
In a recent interview, Seehorn revealed:
She thought Kim could "get away with it"—meaning she believed Kim might avoid facing consequences for her role in Howard Hamlin’s (Patrick Fabian) death and the cover-up.
She was surprised by Kim’s final arc, where she chooses to confess, reclaiming her moral compass in a way Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) never does.
This moral divergence makes the ending stronger, highlighting the tragic contrast between Kim’s redemption and Jimmy’s full embrace of "Saul Goodman."
Why This Makes the Ending More Powerful:
🔹 Kim’s Agency – Unlike Jimmy, Kim chooses accountability, even when she could have stayed silent.
🔹 The Ultimate Irony – Jimmy spends the finale bargaining for freedom, while Kim, who once enabled his worst impulses, finds peace in honesty.
🔹 Seehorn’s Performance – Knowing Seehorn initially thought Kim might "escape" makes her character’s final choice even more impactful.
Fan Reactions:
Many fans agree that Kim’s ending is one of the most satisfying in the Breaking Bad universe because it subverts expectations in a way that feels true to her character.
