After BetterCallSaul's second to last episode that may very well be her last ever, we might as well just give Rhea Seehorn her Emmy now.
The beautifully grim second to last episode of Better Call Saul, the best feel-bad show out there, finally allows viewers to see what's happened with the kind Kim Wexler after six years of being separated from Jimmy/Saul/Gene . While previous episodes had revealed she was in Florida, the precise details had largely remained a mystery. No longer. Kim, still as meticulous and focused as ever, has sought out the quietest life possible.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY It all reaches a breaking point when she takes the bus back to the airport and begins sobbing uncontrollably about all that has happened in her life. She did the right thing by finally confessing, though it has not provided any relief or salvation for her. This only makes it all the more significant yet tragic that she did. It wasn't for self-serving reasons, or to clear her conscience — as that doesn't feel like it will ever happen.
All of these scenes with Kim serve as a perfect juxtaposition to what is happening with Jimmy. In their last face-to-face encounter, he is cruel and callous as a cover for his pain to such a degree that evokes disgust. A subsequent conversation Kim has with Jesse outside the tacky office as rain pours down twists the knife even further.
Of course, Jimmy doesn't care about any of this any longer. He is instead embracing his worst self in increasingly horrifying sequences. While Kim really does try to do right with her life after leaving him, he decides to just burrow even deeper. The contrast between the two, always present, is made most apparent in "Waterworks" precisely because of how Seehorn carries her fascinating character in what feels like a farewell.
Whether we will see Kim again is an open-ended question, though this episode would serve as a fitting conclusion in how it denies an easy catharsis for her even as she gives all of herself to set things right. It also shows how Jimmy is giving all of himself to do the precise opposite, though he can hide no more when the hacky commercial of his past is reflected on him in a way that now feels horrifying.
