Oscar Isaac comes to pick up Saul in a minivan.

He rolls down the window.

"Somehow, Gus Fring returned"

end credits

At the end, the force ghosts of Chuck, Hamlin, and Walt appear and smile at him approvingly

rumor is that Kim shoots Jimmy in the head and then commits suicide.

To me, the way they fumble this is by giving us an ending that doesn't feel true to the story or the characters. We'll see

I heard Jimmy goes on the run but gets confused by the highway signs because he forgot his glasses in Nebraska. So instead of fleeing into old Mexico, he accidentally drives right into the waiting arms of the New Mexico State Police. The final line, as he is being handcuffed, will be:

Jimmy: Too many Mexicos!

THE END

I’d add Jimmy being in prison or dead, as it would essentially negate the entirety of his existence in Nebraska (from a viewer experience standpoint).

I think it's pretty much guaranteed that Jimmy will either die or go to jail. I don't see how either outcome negates anything since it's the events in Nebraska (born out of Jimmy's compulsions and inability to live a live of subdued anonymity) that will lead to them.

Maybe there's a way for them to pull off an ending where Jimmy manages to get away scot free but I am doubtful

Walt sacrifices himself to rescue Jesse, earning some degree of redemption. Will Jimmy be able to save Kim? Can he earn redemption? Does Kim deserve saving? What would Jimmy need to sacrifice to save her? His life? His freedom? Will he be willing to do it?

But yeah I vote jail. Maybe turning himself in, but I'm unsure about that.

I do think he'll end up coming clean about everything, possibly with some encouragement from Kim.

And I also think we will probably get a Jimmy version of Kim's outburst of emotion on the bus.

LOCK IN YOUR FINALE PREDICTIONS EVERYBODY

thematically it works just fine, but it would be crap storytelling. This show began from place of already knowing that Jimmy would “break bad.” The hook for the viewers — established by the flash-forwards to NE — was that unlike Walt, Jimmy would eventually find the light side of the force, baking Cinnabons until events would collide in such a way that he would narrowly escaped the jaws of death (and possibly find true love).

If he goes down, that’s a real rug-pull of all the emotion invested on the basis of the Gene storyline. Would it make sense? Sure, but no more than Jimmy getting away to a new life, hard lessons learned, hero’s journey 101.

It seems the showrunners are about to subvert expectations at the expense of a satisfying conclusion for our anti-hero. For me personally, it might single-handed my ruin what has been a near pitch-perfect show.
