Better Call Saul: Waterworks (2022)
Season 6, Episode 12
10/10
Gene the Recidivist
10 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
"Waterworks" completes the path that Gene has been on for the past several episodes, if not the entire BB/BCS franchise. Gene might miss his job as Saul the lawyer, not to mention fun-loving grifting with Giselle as Viktor, but his destiny in crime is as inevitable as that circular industrial mixer kneading shapeless dough. Without frosting or spice, Gene's crimes are grim and his urge to be homicidal as routine as taking out the garbage.

Jeff never wanted to threaten Gene. Buddy also had no clue as to deep dimensions of Saul's twisted character. When Jeff made Gene, it destroyed a complete and perfect getaway from Albuquerque. At first, Gene thought he should make another getaway, but addiction for crime awoke which is recidivism.

Will Gene break free and survive? Or is he simply headed for the slammer?

The sky is the limit as to how our anti-hero reveals what will probably be the final word. Until then, this is the smartest of storytelling and commentary on crime.
