There, Saul offhandedly asked if Lalo sent them.
At the time, this was a throwaway line suggesting Saul had many past enemies.
Butit paved the way for one of TVs greatest villains.
When Saul got his own spinoff inBetter Call Saul, the series gradually built toward the introduction of Lalo.
Lalos feud with Gus Fring escalated into a series of assassination attempts.
But what if Gus hadnt killed Lalo?
How wouldBreaking Badhave turned out if Lalo was still aroundwhen Heisenberg came on the scene?
But Gus only narrowly managed to escape death.
If Gus aim was slightly off, he wouldve missed Lalo andLalo wouldve killed him instead.
Breaking Bad, created by Vince Gilligan, follows a chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin named Walter White (Bryan Cranston) as he attempts to provide for his family following a fatal diagnosis. With nothing left to fear, White ascends to power in the world of drugs and crime, transforming the simple family man into someone known only as Heisenberg.
Lalo first appeared inBetter Call Saulseason 4, episode 8, “Coushatta.”
When Walt and Jesse started cooking meth,the Salamancas would have a much larger market share.
Instead of relying on Gus for stable employment, theyd have to rely on the Salamancas.
At the beginning of season 2, Tuco kidnapped Walt and Jesse and took them to his desert hideout.
If Lalo was still alive, they wouldve faced repercussions for Tucos death much sooner.
But if Lalo was still alive, they wouldve faced repercussions for Tucos death much sooner.
Thatprobably wouldnt have ended well, given thatLalo murdered Howard Hamlinand Fred Whalen for a lot less.
From the moment he and Jesse started cooking meth, their biggest problem was distribution.
They could produce meth in great quantities out of their RV, butJesse couldnt move all that product himself.
Theres no way Walt and Jesse couldve become millionaires without Gus distribution model.
A lot of Walts success depends on Lalo being out of the picture.
