The Better Call Saul season 6 episode 9 release date and time on Netflix and AMC have been revealed, with the second part of the finale season now in full swing. Better Call Saul season 6 episode 9 will first release on July 18, 2022 on AMC and the AMC+ streaming service at 6pm PST. It will then release when Netflix updates its library at midnight six hours later. But Lalo Salamanca decided to interrupt their argument with a gun in hand, intending to grill Jimmy and Kim for more information.

When is the Better Call Saul season 6 finale? Here's everything to know, including the episode schedule, so you don't miss a thing.

You can watch the episodes on AMC and AMC+, or, if you have cut ties with cable, stream it on the online platform you have replaced cable with, such at fuboTV. The midseason premiere picked up just seconds after the events in episode 7. Better Call Saul season 6 returned on July 11 with the final batch of episodes.

The last episode had Lalo (Tony Dalton) ambushing Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), Kim (Rhea Seehorn), and Howard (Patrick Fabian) as the latter excoriated the former two ...

The first episode in volume 2 of the show's sixth and final season, titled "Point and Shoot", is easily one of the best the series has ever been: brutal and emotionally devastating. Meanwhile, Lalo is at the lab, where Frings also reaches on a hunch and his men are quickly dispatched by a hiding Lalo. He brings out a video camera and records Fring and the secret lab. The first episode in volume 2 of the show's sixth and final season, titled "Point and Shoot", is easily one of the best the series has ever been: brutal and emotionally devastating. But the playful pranks that Jimmy and Kim played on Howard quickly turned deadly as Lalo casually shot Howard in the head. As 'Better Call Saul' draws to a close, an era is coming to an end. As 'Better Call Saul' draws to a close, an era is coming to an end.

It's been a month and a half since we saw Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton) execute poor Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) and we still haven't recovered. But this is ...

Ironically enough, Mike returns to the laundromat to bury Lalo and Howard deep beneath it. Is Kim Wexler next (the answer better be no, #ProtectKimWexler)? For Mike, Jimmy and Kim, it’s easy enough to say the words "none of this happened," but living with all of this is another matter entirely. As he gets to the bottom of the staircase, he convinces Lalo to let him get in one final dig at Eladio and the Salamanca family, Nacho (Michael Mando) style. Mike is a proud, sarcastic nerd with a penchant for comic books, comic book movies, and movies in general, and occasional delusions of grandeur. The next body served up in this "go-for-broke" endgame of a season is Tony Dalton’s terrific villain, Lalo Salamanca. RIP Lalo. Thank you Tony Dalton for this amazing character and performance. He impresses on them that none of it happened and forces them to say it. He lingers for a moment in obvious regret before he leaves as the bodies are buried. That speaks volumes to how brilliant and completely devious the character of Lalo Salamanca is. Mike has Tyrus and his crew pulled from the laundromat to head to Jimmy’s, which is what Lalo wanted. So it’s saying something that Lalo was able to get the drop on him without breaking a sweat. In a ploy to just get Kim as far away from Lalo as possible, Jimmy convinces him to send her instead. Lalo asks Jimmy to go over to Gus Fring's (Giancarlo Esposito) home and kill him.

Right from the pilot, creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould never lost control of their grand vision, and they aren't about to start now. Before the show caps ...

The answer to which we only learn over the course of the episode, often right at the end. Embrace the intrigue — for as long as it lasts. The moment establishes her inner conflict between wanting to do the right thing and wanting to save Jimmy. Seehorn gives another masterclass of a performance — give her the damn Emmy already — channelling the desperation and terror of a woman well aware she is way out of her depth. Gordon Smith, who wrote a sad but affecting coda for Nacho in "Rock and Hard Place," also writes one for Howard. How Howard's death is covered up is hinted in the cold open, where a single formal shoe washes up ashore on a beach before the camera glides back to find Howard's car, recognisable by its "NAMAST3" vanity plate. Perhaps, he thinks she will have a better chance to stay alive the farther she gets from Lalo. Perhaps, he trusts her to come up with a way to save them both. A night of celebration turned into a night of horror as Jimmy and Kim received two unexpected guests in their apartment: Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), who comes to confront them on their elaborate plan to take him down, is followed by Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), who comes for an anything but friendly chat — intentions made very much clear when he shoots Howard in the head. Indeed, the man who can outsmart Gus is yet to enter the scene. The episode closes out with Mike overseeing the burial. The Part 2 premiere takes us back to the scene of the crime, with Jimmy and Kim visibly shaken as Lalo sits them down and lays out his plan: Jimmy will take his car to the home of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), shoot him when he answers the door with the gun first and the camera second for photographic evidence — while Kim stays behind as Lalo's hostage. She realises he is trying to save her just as she did the last time Lalo paid an unexpected visit to their apartment. The initial hook for the Breaking Bad prequel was the moral decline of Bob Odenkirk's slippery shyster Jimmy McGill aka Saul Goodman. But a parallel hook emerged over time with the fascinating evolution of Rhea Seehorn's straight-shooting Kim Wexler into Jimmy's partner-in-crime. A dark cloud of dread hangs over the midseason premiere of Better Call Saul — as it has for the entirety of the show's final batch of episodes.

Better Call Saul's mid-season finale came with a huge cliffhanger, which this week's Episode 8, “Point and Shoot,” finally solves.

After hearing Kim’s testimonial, Mike is convinced Lalo is holding Saul hostage at the apartment and decides to strike with all his strength. Gus distracts Lalo, asking to record a final message to Don Eladio and the Salamancas. Lalo knows Gus' admission would improve his video and lets Gus do his speech. Saul pledges to Lalo and asks the Salamanca leader to send Kim in his place. In order to punish Saul, Lalo orders the lawyer to kill Gus. He gives Saul the keys to his car and written instructions about how to get to Gus’ home. After tying Saul to a chair and gagging him, Lalo also leaves the apartment, promising to return and have a long talk about the betrayal he suffered in Mexico. The moment shows just how far down Kim has fallen, and that there might not be a road back to regular life for the lawyer. Kim follows Lalo’s instructions and is ready to pull the trigger when Gus’ door opens. Once the couple gets silent enough for Lalo to explain his plan, we soon realize that the Salamanca leader is determined to punish Saul for what he thinks is treason. Saul convinces Lalo that Kim would look less threatening when ringing Gus’ doorbell, which leads the Salamanca to change his plans. At the end of Episode 7, Lalo dragged Saul and Kim into his war against Gus. After shooting Howard in cold blood, Lalo says he got to talk with the couple. We knew, right at that moment, Lalo’s journey in Better Call Saul was getting close to its bloody end. The two stories came together in a gut-wrenching mid-season finale, in which we said our farewells to one of the best recurring Better Call Saul characters.

It's weird seeing Jimmy, aka Saul Goodman, as a ruthless lawyer who casually suggests killing anyone who becomes a hindrance — he also shamelessly flirts with ...

She dives deeper and deeper, resulting in my previous theory that Kim is the one Jimmy is attempting to evade in the future. Back at the Laundromat, Mike instructs Lalo and Howard’s corpses to be tossed in a hole dug in the giant laboratory. Lalo tosses Jimmy car keys and instructs he and Kim to drive to a quiet neighborhood with “plenty of options.” In the car there’s apparently a camera and gun, “and you’ll need both,” Lalo says calmly. Other shows like The Boys and even Game of Thrones rely on shock and awe to hold our attention. Lalo ties Jimmy to a chair and recounts how a bunch of men came into his house in the middle of the night and killed people he cared for – his housekeeper, his cook, etc. Mike tells Jimmy and Kim to sit. Gus calls one of his guards and instructs him to give Kim the phone. Or is this what convinces Mike that Gus is Jesse James? At any rate, this event brought the whole band together, but it’s fair to wonder if this is also what causes Kim to become more of a “silent partner” going forward. “I need you to act as store manager while I’m gone,” he says, and when we cut to our favorite chicken man, he’s getting medical attention in his home. My my, how the turn tables, Gus says to a dying Lalo. Our creepy antagonist dies laughing in a pool of his own blood as Gus stares him down remorselessly. She takes a slow stroll to the front door, rings the bell, points the gun, and is quickly attacked from behind. Unless it’s all for show — and, really, all of his talk of massages and murder could just be a staple to his public persona whilst the real Jimmy laughs with Kim from behind the curtains.

As Better Call Saul season six continues to air, even Chuck McGill himself might have a hard time defending the show's earliest premise. Believe it or not, ...

When Better Call Saul was first announced, it was treated as a joke. Lalo’s in that spot because he’s obsessed with Gus. Again, there’s a Breaking Bad connection. In 'Point and Shoot', Mike tries to call Gus, against Lalo's wishes. Kim was sent on a mission to shoot Gus after Jimmy decided she should go instead of him. Sure, the show started out tragicomic, but by this point it’s just a full-blown tragedy. Remember Jimmy, it's best to never underestimate Kim Wexler. You should probably keep that in mind if you're reading this.

Better Call Saul returns in fine form to deliver tension from beginning to end as yet another beloved character bites the dust.

This setup is what makes Gus’ surprise move believable, Lalo is too good of a shot to miss, yet nailing a headshot in the dark is no mean feat and this is precisely what allows Gus to pull off a hail mary play and land the killing blow. Without a doubt, Better Call Saul's biggest win in this episode is how little actually happens versus the tension it creates to fully milk each and every scene to its fullest. After that, it doesn’t take long for Lalo to muzzle Jimmy, but not before he can yell out one of his signature lines in the Breaking Bad universe: “it wasn’t me.”

Fans of course knew that BB characters like Saul Goodman, Gus Fring and Mike Ehrmantraut would survive BCS season 6. But they didn't have the same certainty ...

Indeed a big chunk of Better Call Saul season 6’s first half was taken up with Gus going to agonizing lengths to protect himself from Lalo, including putting himself up in a safe house under the guard of Mike and his other cronies. Better Call Saul indeed set up this end for Lalo earlier in the season when Gus was seen hiding a gun in the excavated space soon to be occupied by his meth lab. Death was of course expected to be a big part of the equation when Better Call Saul unleashed season 6 on its fans.

BETTER CALL SAUL'S season 6 midseason premiere signalled the beginning of the end with the death of charming drug dealer Lalo Salamanca but why was he ...

"He was searching for Werner, chasing down all these leads. This time, no one was expecting it with none other than Lalo Salamanca (played by Tony Dalton) who was killed. He’s incredible. "We had no interest in losing Tony Dalton, obviously. He tried to have Lalo assassinated at the end of season five but needed to prove his disloyalty to cartel boss Don Eladio (Steven Bauer) so he could give his permission for Gus' murder. BETTER CALL SAUL'S season 6 midseason premiere signalled the beginning of the end with the death of charming drug dealer Lalo Salamanca but why was he killed off?

During the premiere, Lalo (Tony Dalton) took Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim (Rhea Seehorn) hostage, attempting to force one of them to murder Gus (Giancarlo ...

It was a night shoot, and I got the episode, and I got a little chair and I took it out. I knew I was going to die, but I didn't know what was going to happen. The sixth, and final, season of Better Call Saul premiered on April 18 and is set to conclude on August 15, which new episodes on Mondays on AMC. I was like, 'Come on.' They're like, 'I'm not going to tell you.' I was like, 'Tell me something.' They're like, 'All right, you kill a bunch of guys before you die.' I was like, 'That's awesome!'" Everything that happens with Kim going to the house, it was kind of cathartic, you know? The big death was maybe not unexpected, but still quite a spectacle, with Lalo flashing a sinister, bloody smile as he died.

It then flits to where we left off in episode 7; Kim and Jimmy are mortified, looking at Howard's blood-soaked and dead body on their apartment floor. Lalo does ...

Gus tries to humor the situation and talks to the camera; he rips into Hector and admits he kept him alive and broken as part of his plan. Mike and his men head to Jimmy’s apartment and find Jimmy on the floor. He checks out the bullet that hit his vest, knowing how close he was to his death. Mike then tells them both to have a “normal day” and clarifies that “none of this ever happened.” Lalo gets out a camcorder to record the presumed demise of Gus. He asks for a tour of the laundrette, but when Gus does not respond, Lalo shoots him in the chest, knowing he has a bulletproof vest on. A winded Gus starts the tour and shows Lalo where the meth lab is. And that’s when Lalo walks in, shooting all of Gus’s men to the floor. Lalo agrees with Jimmy and sends her to do the assassination. She tells him that Lalo is going to kill Jimmy. Kim reveals the plan given to her by Lalo and gets angry that Mike did not protect her. Gus calls Kim and wants to know why Lalo sent her. Kim reaches the house that Lalo described, and she rings the doorbell. On the car dashboard, there’s a wallet and a wedding ring.

In total, over 15 people have been killed in Better Call Saul Season 6 so far. Here is everything you need to know about who dies in Better Call Saul Season 6. Even being a prequel series, some of the people that die are quite shocking.

Lalo Salamanca, the terrifying cartel gangster played by Tony Dalton, hatched a clever plan in Monday's midseason premiere, using Jimmy and Kim as a diversion ...

It was kinda weird. TVLINE As Lalo is dying, he kind of smiles and laughs right before he takes his final breath. TVLINE How did you feel about that when you first read the script? TVLINE Lalo always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else, and he had the upper hand on Gus at the Superlab. But then he gave him the chance to turn the tables on him. TVLINE You want to make sure that the bad guy gets his day in court, if you will. TVLINE TVLINE Lalo Salamanca, the terrifying cartel gangster played by Tony Dalton, hatched a clever plan in Monday’s midseason premiere, using Jimmy and Kim as a diversion to distract Gus and his men so he could sneak inside Gus’ secret meth lab.

We knew that the cartel men were both smart, but tonight we found out who was smarter. Will Kim and Jimmy ever be able to put this moment behind them, ...

He knew said moment had arrived when he queried Kim via grainy CCTV. He spotted the broken ventilator to realise Lalo was in the building and appealed to his vanity for a chance to distract him with a speech. There’s a bit of luck in Gus catching Lalo in the throat, and escaping a final flurry of bullets from his enemy as he does so. When we see Lalo’s side it’s through the handicam, then – as Gus begins to exert control – we switch back to “reality”. Nice. We do not know why he came to the conclusions he did, but he did not trust anyone, even Mike, to help him. Perhaps this was revealing of the real nature of the bond they share. But in the end, for all Lalo’s sophistication, Gus proves himself the bigger baddie. Eladio is a “pig” and a “pimp” with no honour. From there all that remains is a tour of the excavated super lab, to be captured on camera and sent to Don Eladio. The plan works smoothly and – after some well-earned luck sneaking past the cameras – Lalo has the run of the place. We see ample evidence of Lalo’s A-list villainy in this 49-minute episode, written by Gordon Smith – who devised the Lalo character – and directed by el jefe Vince Gilligan. It starts with Lalo sending Kim on a mission to kill Gus – “a house cat with glasses” – while he keeps Jimmy as hostage. In a moment equivalent to Nacho’s last stand, Gus denounces Don Eladio and the Salamancas with theatrical invective. Lalo doesn’t expect Gus to be killed but for his men to be rattled and to vacate Lavandería Brillante, giving him the chance to break in.
