Oscar Isaac comes to pick up Saul in a minivan.

He rolls down the window.

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!

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.
