In “Saul Gone,” Saul bargains a potential life-plus-190-years sentence for multiple charges — including accessory to the murders of DEA agents Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) and Steve Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada) — down to 85-90 months. He then throws himself into the proverbial woodchipper to keep Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) from facing any consequences for the death of Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), and his sentence is bumped back up to 86 years.
While Saul’s self-sacrifice means Skyler White’s involvement in his legal proceedings ultimately would have had little effect on his eventual prison term, there was a missed opportunity to add an additional storyline wrapping up Skyler’s arc, which was left mostly unresolved at the end of “Breaking Bad.” Walt gets one quick report from Ed (Robert Forster) in “Breaking Bad” Season 5, Episode 15, “Granite State,” learning that Skyler has taken a job as a taxi dispatcher and is using her maiden name.
We last see Skyler in the “Breaking Bad” finale, “Felina,” when Walt pays her one last visit in the run-down apartment she rented for herself and her children while he fled to New Hampshire. There he gives her a lottery ticket with the coordinates of Hank and Steve’s final resting place.
While Walt always kept her shielded from the specifics of his more violent crimes, Skyler had intimate knowledge of his drug manufacturing business and fully controlled the money laundering aspect of Walt and Saul’s destructive partnership.
