Here's how the perfect cast brings a whole new meaning to Kim Wexler's Better Call Saul Season 6 flashback.

[{"selector":"#anim-8321846e-32a7-4119-9e9e-2bc1378ed761 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.95210271849622%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-762a8b80-a977-4695-9b6e-9f77ea3be9da","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Her name may not be written above the door, but Kim of Rhea Seehorn has become as important to Better Call Saul as Saul Goodman himself.

[{"selector":"#anim-d4b149d4-ec97-46fa-882f-1ad50f75de40 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.08748665394411%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95a0af3d-11f7-4659-8f95-7bfbbc00aa63","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Prequel to Breaking Bad gradually removed Kim's layers, but checked her past only once - Better Call Saul Season 5

[{"selector":"#anim-1f0dd032-90b4-4b9d-8419-4592c626ffdf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.49902206414911%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-31845415-4fd0-459b-8d46-f464a3585614","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Better Call Saul Season 6 deals with Kim's past with "Ax & Grind." Young Kim takes place in season 5 flashback and is caught stealing from a shop by a thief.

[{"selector":"#anim-19c805f0-cdd3-438e-a826-32e3541a0ef9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.937499914669296%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a01242e-da7b-4cdc-bf65-95f2e98d8585","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kim's mother was really proud of her son's daring theft, then she let herself be heard that she had worn the earrings her son had previously caught stealing.

[{"selector":"#anim-d6a49412-4fad-40b0-b791-538f58c66755 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-335b02ac-3ca3-4827-9b5b-3b69c1864502","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Season 6 of Better Call Saul's flashback series shockingly proves that Kim's crime series began before she met Jimmy McGill and by pulling out the current scam.

[{"selector":"#anim-e9d19807-a70d-46ca-ac2b-60276dd000a7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c4c6381f-49dd-4009-992a-7b787d212709","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The purpose of trying the 6th series of the 1980s was to turn the script around and find out that Kim is following in her mother's footsteps.

[{"selector":"#anim-f62c8a70-4c27-48e5-a037-223ab81d90ca [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02378f8f-9980-4980-a86a-933108b18ba3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This revolutionary turnaround is even more effective due to the physical similarity of the characters to Beth Hoyt's ability to pass Rheu Seehorn

[{"selector":"#anim-8cc91fac-a416-4de7-9bbc-389349ebf896 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(33.49902206414911%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9dec3550-ec05-401c-a743-71e082e66270","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
