Post-Breaking Bad Timeline

2012

Gene (Saul/Jimmy's pseudonym) is working as manager in a Cinnabon in a shopping mall in Omaha, Nebraska. In his home, Gene is nostalgic for his past life and watches an old VHS cassette of Saul Goodman's commercials. ("Uno") Locked in the trash room of the mall where he works, Gene prefers to wait for someone to release him despite the late hour, rather than alert the police by using the emergency exit. ("Switch") Gene collapses from the stress at the Cinnabon, after taking the risk of advising a thief, who had just been arrested by the police beforehand, to call a lawyer. ("Mabel") At a hospital, the exiting nurse alarms Gene by asking about his Social Security information before she realizes she has mistyped the numbers. In his taxi, Gene spots an Albuquerque Isotopes air freshener hanging from the cabbie's rear-view mirror and notices the cabbie staring intently at him. ("Smoke") At the Mall, Gene gets discovered by Jeff, the cabbie who drove him home from the hospital. Jeff appears to be a fan of Saul Goodman, and asks Gene to do the "Better Call Saul" finger gun catchphrase. This sends Gene into a panic. He calls "The Disappearer" to again avail himself of his services, but at the end of the call changes his mind. ("Magic Man")

Time References

• In the flashback at the beginning of "Inflatable", we can see magazines whose cover is dated August 1973, including the Time dated August 20. In an interview, Thomas Schnauz indicates that Jimmy is like 9 years old in this flashback. However, this is an inconsistency as it would place Jimmy's birthdate in 1963 or 1964.
  • Jimmy’s birthdate was confirmed to be November 12, 1960 in “JMM”, which means that Jimmy would actually be 12/13 in the flashback.
• The Missouri license plate that Gene puts on his car when running away from Jeff has 2012 sticker tags on them ("Magic Man"). This indicates that the Gene Scenes most likely take place in either 2011 or 2012 because Gene wouldn't want to be pulled over by the police for outdated stickers.
  • Due to the snowy weather in the Gene Scenes, it is most likely January or February 2012, nearly a decade after the beginning of Better Call Saul.

Trivia

• Walt’s 50th Birthday appears to be celebrated on a Monday but his official birthday would have to be Sunday. ("Pilot")
• Jimmy's (Gene's) position at the Cinnabon was alluded to in Breaking Bad episode "Granite State".
• The Post-Show Timeline is only shown during the opening scene of each season premiere episode of Better Call Saul. These brief scenes show what happened to Jimmy following the events of Breaking Bad after he disappears under Ed's disappearing program.
