Is This Breaking Bad Character Returning in the Better Call Saul Season 2 Finale?

Last month,Better Call SaulstarBob Odenkirkshot down a theory thatBreaking BadstarBryan Cranstonwill return asWalter Whitethis season. Oddly enough though,Vince Gilliganteased at PaleyFest last month, viaThe Hollywood Reporter, that they almost had a big Breaking Bad cameo in theSeason 2finale,Klick, which airs Monday, April 18 at 9 PM ET on AMC. But he wouldn’t say which character was being eyed to return.TV Linehas discovered a unique tweet from Twitter userSirena6783, who appears to have solved this mystery.

While apparently on vacation,Sirena6783discovered that all 10 episode titles for Better Call Saul Season 2 may in fact be an anagram that, when deciphered reads, “Frings Back,” referring to the iconic Gus Fring, played byGiancarlo Espositoin Breaking Bad. SinceBetter Call Saultakes place before the events of Breaking Bad, a Gus Fring cameo certainly wouldn’t be out of the question. But it remains to be seen how this character would even be used on the new series.

Gus Fring was the seemingly mild-mannered owner of the fast food chainLos Pollos Hermanosin Breaking Bad, who was actually a nefarious and ruthless drug kingpin whom Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) were forced to work for.Giancarlo Espositoappeared in 26 episodes as Gus Fring on Breaking Bad, until his now-iconicdeathin theBreaking Bad Season 4finale, appropriately titledFace Off. During their PaleyFest panel,Vince GilliganandPeter Gouldwouldn’t say why this special cameo didn’t work out, nor did they confirm the character, but perhaps we’ll get confirmation after the finale airs on Monday night.

While fans will have to wait to see iconic characters like Walter White,Jesse Pinkmanand Gus Fring,Better Call Saulhas showcased a few Breaking Bad characters throughout their two-season run. The show has previously featured characters such as Tuco (Raymond Cruz) and Don Hector ‘Tio’ Salamanca (Mark Margolis). We’ll have to wait and see ifVince GilliganandPeter Gouldhave plans for more Breaking Bad cameos inBetter Call Saul Season 3, since the show wasrenewedlast month.

SinceVince Gilligannever specifically mentioned Gus Fring at PaleyFest, there still may be hope that we’ll get a surprise cameo from the Los Pollos Hermanos owner, especially sinceVince Gilliganhas used episode titles to tease plot points in the past. DuringBreaking Bad Season 2, the episode titlesSeven-Thirty-Seven,Down,Over,ABQforeshadowed the events of the season finale,ABQ, where a 737 plane went down over Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the show is set. It’s possible thatVince Gilliganmay have been pulling a fast one over fans at PaleyFest, and Gus Fring may in fact appear in the finale after all.

It’s also possible that some of these Breaking Bad characters may show up in one of the show’s “present-day” scenes, which shows Saul, disguised as a Cinnabon manager named Gene, living in Omaha, Nebraska. The cryptic plot description for theBetter Call Saulseason finale states that “Jimmy must make a hard choice, Mike takes control of matters, Hamlin delivers shocking news.” Take a look atSirena6783’s tweet below, and chime in with your thoughts about this cameo that wasn’t meant to be.
