Has Better Call Saul just confirmed the best theory explaining Kim Wexler's absence during Breaking Bad?

[{"selector":"#anim-8a00f092-7a43-456d-8f6a-c0d2d46cdd5a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-18.26923047154106%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":5000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c1b5f8e2-6406-4c2c-866f-abef7281a9f5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.55696%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2db9f953-7fc5-4b90-90dd-b7baeef593dd","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Alas, the Kim Wexler issue remains unresolved. Kim is Jimmy's wife and best friend in Better Call Saul's present day, but she gets nary a mention throughout the entirety of Breaking Bad.

Death awaits around every corner in Vince Gilligan's blood-soaked fictional universe, so Kim is far from guaranteed to reach Better Call Saul's finale alive

[{"selector":"#anim-f46a2baa-3c65-44f1-894f-2ed751a67839 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bcf56c30-6ce4-4436-baab-94c88b912ac8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-10a56f8d-983a-4cf1-9a05-0b4e10ecbbcc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.24204%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Another theory claims Kim spends Breaking Bad in a jail cell, taking the rap for her and Jimmy's Howard Hamlin scam

[{"selector":"#anim-a81eb256-fa78-49a7-b54f-6770aab36667 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(8.779264340412482%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-961bce26-ca8e-4e99-b1c1-0e7b16f43465","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

According to one of the most popular Better Call Saul theories, however, Kim finds herself in such hot water she hires Ed Galbraith

The Kim-Disappearer theory takes a massive leap forward in Better Call Saul season 6's "Axe & Grind." In preparation for the final phase of their Howard scam, Jimmy and Kim visit Dr. Caldera
