1. The season finale of Better Call Saul was a great climax to an amazing season. Jimmy was determined to move past his "Slippin' Jimmy" past and earn the respect he deserves. After his breakdown after his scholarship speech, Jimmy was reborn as Saul, determined to climb to the top of the building. On the other hand, Mike was forced to make a difficult decision and push away almost everyone, in order to have full control over his deeply damaged life.
2. The episode focused on the complex transformation of Jimmy into Saul, and also gave Mike a great season finale, as he was forced to make a difficult decision. Lalo also had a great introduction, and the Jimmy and Chuck story was a great conflict of feelings. Ultimately, it was the clearest steps yet, towards Saul Goodman. Fans were thrilled with the amazing season finale, with many praising the complexity and emotional depth of the episode.
