What Better Call Saul Fans Don't Know About Kim Wexler

Recent episodes of Better Call Saul have seen a huge shift in Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill's relationship. After Jimmy violated Kim's trust and made her a target of one of his schemes (as opposed to a somewhat willing accomplice), it seemed like Kim was ready to kick her long-term partner to the curb. Instead? She married him, hoping to protect herself from future legal entanglements.

To viewers, that seemed like a terrible idea, but Seehorn notes there's a very good reason why Kim won't let Jimmy go. "She's such a solitary person," Seehorn says. "He's the only person she's herself in front of, really. So, hanging on to that makes sense to me, and the fact that she has to keep moving the line of what she'll accept."

Forcing Jimmy into a situation where he has to be honest is also a way for Kim to keep ahead of trouble. "I think she thinks that if she can have all the information that she can navigate it, that she'll somehow be able to choose what to be a part of and choose what not to be a part of," says Seehorn. As the actress notes, Kim thinks there's a work-related solution to every problem: "She's... moving the line of what she thinks, sometimes quite egotistically, she can handle."

Kim has been on her own journey over the past few seasons, and over time, we've seen that she's willing to bend the rules in the name of justice. "She is at this horrible crossroads where she is forgetting that law is black and white and not gray. It's not the same as moral and immoral," Seehorn observes. "She thinks she can put her finger on the scale of justice, just a tiny bit, to make the 'right guy' win."

To Kim, that's not so different from what Jimmy does. Casting him out would be condemning herself. "I think that line that keeps moving for her. She knows it's wrong — which is why you see her in the first episode of this season almost throw up in a stairwell — but she somehow thinks the greater good is being served," says Seehorn. "I think that is being transferred on to how she's dealing with Jimmy as well."
