Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 10 Breakdown. Recap and Review for "Nippy" with the ending explained. Please subscribe! 👉 bit.ly/PetePeppers
The tenth episode of Better Call Saul's final season "Nippy" took us back to Gene Takavic's story in Omaha, Nebraska. He concocted a plan to win Jeff the cab driver over and implicate him in a crime to create a mutually assured destruction scenario. Jeff can't turn Saul Goodman because he'll go down with him.
In Episode 10 we also get introduced to Jeff's mother Marion who is played by the legendary actor Carol Burnett.
The biggest question now that we've reached the final four episodes is what will happen to Kim now that she's left Albuquerque.

Also, that may be living as Gene he might not have been thinking of his past much, but recounting those events to the Security guy it may have come back to him as well as his conman nature again with the latest con pulled off. So maybe this new realisation could put him on some another road. On its own this episode was great though we don't see how this episode affects the end.

It was a very unique episode that actually tells us a lot about where Gene is at while also solving his issue with Jeff. I thought the scene at the end where he puts the very Slipping Jimmy like shirt back was very powerful and basically summed up the entire episode. I think it’s his first step of accepting who is he along with what he’s done in the past. There is also a sense that he is just so far beyond what Jeff could ever dream of being as far as being a criminal/con man.

The writers certainly get one over on us by making our suspicions of Jeff turn to dust. They must be laughing their heads off right now. Years of us seeing Jeff looking with intent at Gene in the rear view mirror (and inducing panic attacks in Gene by pressing him to reveal his true identity in the mall) were undone by revealing Jeff to be a gormless mummy’s boy. It was brilliantly done, and it demonstrated an eternal truth: fear of what might happen is always worse than what does happen.

Something I found interesting is that in all of the previous scenes where “Gene” walks from his cinnabon to the security room he always gives a small nod to the guy on the cleaning machine. Then the day of the heist the store manager called for “maintenance” to clean what was on the floor. And in the same walk Gene takes to the security room we don’t see the cleaning dude. I thought that was the reason the plan wasn’t going to work out, because maintenance would find the cab driver during his run. It had me tense throughout the whole scene lmao and the slip caught me off guard.

I've always thought that Jeff was either a red herring or flag. That he would either trigger something in Gene/Jimmy or that he would be effortlessly swiped away. Jimmy is a career criminal with decades of experience in manipulation. Not a lot of people can take him down without overwhelming force or immediate action. But it could trigger something in Jimmy. Either the need to get back in the game or the realization that his life's work is complete failure. He lost the girl, he lost his persona and as of now he lost a reason for going on besides pure reptilian survival. He's stuck under his own shadow and he'll never be free from it. How he deals with that will probably the focus of the last few episodes. From a purely existential outlook Saul is at a lower point than Walt ever was. He has no family to care for with his legacy/earnings and he has no partner to rescue.

We don't even know if they keep in contact. Jimmy has relatively no life lines or logical redemption arc. Walt more or less died for those he felt love for to redeem them. Meanwhile Jimmy has no clear path towards any redemption. And existentialism isn't about people loving you it's about legacy.

Well put! Excellent analysis. I agree. At least Walt had the pretense of doing his bad deeds to provide for his wife & kid after he succumbed to cancer. And he was sympathetic due to being tragically screwed over by his former business partners. Ultimately Walt admitted to Skylar he kept doing it long after amassing more than enough money simply because he liked doing it and he was good at it. As was posted by Nash, Walt sacrificed himself in the end for those he loved - a form of redemption. What's Jimmy's rationalization for his embracing the criminal lawyer path? His big brother was mean to him? Nope. Not entirely. I do think if his brother supported him Jimmy had a chance at staying "clean." I think Jimmy became Saul because deep down he enjoys it and he's good at it. Period. I can't see Gene settling into a boring, solitary life of legal obscurity. How could he seek redemption? And does he even want redemption? I don't get the sense he does. He seems to be all about survival at any cost.

In that moment it made sense for Jeff to be menacing as Gene had no idea who he was or what he wanted. In this episode you see the full picture of a dude living at home with his mom who is clearly way out of his league criminally speaking in comparison to Saul. While I loved the original actors unnerving and intimidating take, as soon as Gene had the upper hand when he was with Marion it didn’t really make sense for him to continue being the source of paranoia and anxiety as that was soon replaced by the stress of not getting caught within the scam.

In my opinion, there's only two places for this to go from here. This episode showed that Saul is still alive and well, but Jimmy or rather Gene isnt ready to let him free just yet. So, in the next 3 episodes, do we see an ending where Gene kills Saul for good. Either through jail or reconciling. Or do we see Saul kill Gene for good, by falling into another scam and either ending up arrested or dead.

Her stance when speaking to Gene, her calling him a good influence, her almost catching him out with the 'Nippy' question, and - above all - her reference to Jeffie having fallen in with a "bad crowd" in Albuquerque indicate to me that she is no fool. Casting Carol Burnett is telling too; she's a pretty big name for such a small role. I think Marion is a lioness who'll protect her cub - and Gene's scam may bring down her wrath.

@Alexander Kerensky that's what I figured too.. that he was totally bragging about it with these two imbeciles. and they TOTALLY know all about it. all things considered, how absolutely nutso is Walt's story when stepping back and really considering everything? ...I'm sure every major national news outlet (CNN, MSNBC, Fox, NPR, etc) have all been talking about it ad nauseum. The late night talk show hosts are all probably cracking jokes about it nightly. It's essentially another "True Crime" nationwide fascination. You know the routine. I like to imagine that in this world, Walt and Jesse are like... these mythic folk villains (or anti-heroes) that are capturing the imagination of the entire country, and here's their attorney who was not only along for the ride, but in some cases was even in the back seat of the same car (both literally and metaphorically speaking). He probably knows these two idiots have been glued to their tv's like everyone else, so he probably also figures that they're in "awe" of his presence. Realizing that they're getting criminal advice from a man who advised two of the biggest criminals in recent American history... and perhaps also realizing that he's a bigger celebrity than Sammy Hagar. I'm sure he's loving EVERYTHING about it too. Lil ol Slippin Jimmy from Cicero is an honest to god celebrity outlaw like Jesse James, and this is his first time actually feeling it, and allowing himself to love it. I get the sense that this feeling leads up all the way to the ending where he's looking at a shirt and tie that turn up the volume on Saul's wardrobe eve higher. As though Saul is somewhere inside saying, "You made it, man!!! Top of the world!!" SG really was here. when you think about all of that? where he started? how it all began? ripping off his ol man? "slippin jimmy" cons? his brother? the "sunroof?" the mail room? the land crabs? pro bono attorney? sandpiper? mike? nacho? the cartel? hector? gus? lalo? ...then one day walt walks into his office looking like DB cooper? connects with him, then connects him with gus... and helps to oversee and establish one of the biggest domestic drug kingpin operations in american history (not seen since the prohibition era). after all of that... here he is, devising a plan to rob a department store of some $100,000 worth of shoes and clothing. I mean... he knows he was the best. and even though this department store is small potatoes, he still gets his chance to remember who he was and still is in this episode.

In my opinion this episode was two things: a blue note and a bridge. The blue note in Jazz is the one that's played at a slightly different pitch from standard. This episode has a different pace and a different tone than the previous ones this season; it's a palate cleanser from the heaviness we've seen and brings comedic relief in an otherwise emotionally rich show. It's a also a bridge because it doesn't seem to add a lot to the story, which leaves the viewer nervous since we know there are only three episodes left. It feels like the writers know what they're doing, so this episode (with the introduction of Marion, the new player) has to be a "bridge" that links the story to its ending. And the beauty of watching a show while it's being released, is that you have time to focus on the details and have time to discuss at length an installment like "Nippy", which would otherwise be looked over. Conclusion: I don't know what they have in store for us, but I'm very excited.

It's interesting how the previous episodes are shot in color but are extremely grim. In contrast this episode doesn't really evoke the same depressing/paranoid feelings we've been used to with the other Gene flashforwards: it feels more like an episode from the first or second season. I might be wrong, but I feel like this episode's purpose is to let Jimmy come back and to let us see that he has decided to leave Saul behind. After all in the opening we've seen the tape record over the old Saulesque footage and in the end we see Gene figuratively hang Saul on the rack. So excited to see next week's episode!

I feel like it was genuine, if used for disingenuous reasons, as we've seen Jimmy only be able to face his emotions whilst scamming before. I think the reason we had this episode now is A) a welcome change of pace and B) to drive home that although plot wise we may go back in time, narratively we are most certainly in the epilogue now.

Gene grabbed the Saul costume off the rack and smiled at old memories. But Jim McGill put it back, because the Saul chapter is closed for good. While living as Gene, Jim McGill has had time to reflect. Life as Gene was the result of fear - fear of jail or worse. Jimmy has lived it, and learned it's no life at all. Life as BB Saul was the result of trauma. Jimmy has lived it, and learned that crime can come with a high cost. Jim McGill spent a brief time somewhere between Slippin' Jimmy and Saul and life was good. In large part because of Kim, sure. Jimmy knows he needs to find a Golidlock's life - somewhere between the mundane lows of cycling through 3 pairs of khakies and the fast lane highs of gangster life. Stay tuned, there are 3 episodes left.

Will Marion be the character who puts it all together and ultimately brings down Gene/Saul? She is like the police chief character in the movie Fargo: a solid, no-nonsense Midwestern woman of Nordic descent who believes strongly in right and wrong and just plods along, collecting all the facts and finally putting it all together to catch the bad guys. Remember that she used to live in Albequerque and at some point will remember seeing the DEA's Saul Goodman Wanted Poster and make the connection to Gene. She goes to the cops/DEA and gets the million dollar reward for Saul, but then loses her two sons who get arrested as his accomplices for the department store caper in a bittersweet twist of ironic fate.

I love seeing the mall shots. I live in Albuquerque where this mall is(Cottonwood Mall) and have been to that Cinnabon and adjacent stores so many times. The grocery store shots were at a little grocery store the wife and used to go to when we got our first place in Albuquerque back in 1997.

I can’t put my finger on exactly why but I loved this episode. It made so much sense that this episode happened now. Jimmy/Saul/Gene is so well written as a character. I have never had a Cinnabon before being in the UK but now I’m on a mission to find one. Saul Goodman was here… I am going to be so sad when this show finishes. I don’t want anything else, nothing else compares to the high standard of writing/filming/character development. I feel that Jimmy is GOOD. His evolving into Saul makes sense because of what happened and then Gene makes sense because of his identity change. I love things that make sense! I was just so happy the whole episode. I hope they do the character justice (pun intended) and I’m sure they will because they haven’t let us down yet. It’s going to be hard to say goodbye. I don’t know why I felt the need to write this. I wish I could tell the creators how much I have truly loved this show.

I really liked the episode, but I admit I have to keep these timelines a little more straight in my head. I completely forgot about last week's episode of Saul being in the mansion. I think you nailed it when you said you felt like this episode would have been a little later, even though there are only 3 episodes left. I didn't understand how Gene knew Marion was Jeff's mother, or that Gene had put snow down on the sidewalk deliberately to get her stuck. You do a great job explaining these episodes to make this series so much more enjoyable. Thank you!

Great recap Pete. I watched this episode solo so it was nice to hear I wasn’t alone in thinking the episode felt a bit odd in some ways. It’s a shame the previous actor who played the cab driver couldn’t come back; he somehow encapsulated being both a goofball and quite threatening at the same time, whereas the new guy felt a lot less sinister. I think it would have helped with the flow of the episode and everything that happened if it was the same. But given it’s likely his character won’t continue beyond this episode it doesn’t really matter that much. Who the hell knows what’s to come from here
