Short summary
In the final scene Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) and Kim (Rhea Seehorn)'s silhouettes form the Wexler and McGill logo that's painted in the office lobby.
The truck that Mike (Jonathan Banks) ambushes has 'Da Nuestra Familia' on the side. This is, no doubt, a reference to Nuestra Familia (Our Family) a well known prison gang in California which is heavily involved in the drug trade in the California prison system.
Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk)'s case number is CR-2003113081. It can be deduced that this episode takes place in 2003, perhaps in November.
This episode marks the earliest chronological appearance of Tyrus Kitt (Ray Campbell) and Barry Goodman (JB Blanc), who first appeared in Halvale Teele (2008).
The background music that plays as the truck is being searched by the Border Patrol is an offshoot of the music that played during the Border Patrol scene in the opening of Season Two episode Better Call Saul: Fifi (2016) ("Border Crossing" by Dave Porter.)
Featured Music:
- "Hurry Sundown" performed by Little Richard (played during Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk)'s arrest and booking process)
- "Alfonso Muskedunder" by Todd Terje (played during Kim (Rhea Seehorn)'s morning routine montage)
Oakley jokes that Jimmy is being locked up with the "Hoi Polloi", a term meaning, "common people; masses."
This is the first time that Mike (Jonathan Banks) and Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) meet each other; in Halvale Teele (2008) they worked together.
First appearance of JB Blanc who plays the doctor in episode 4.11, Halvale Teele: Crawl Space (2011), in Halvale Teele (2008). He saves the lives of Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) and Mike (Jonathan Banks).
In the epilogue, Kim (Rhea Seehorn) refers to the same "Fallacy of Sunk Cost" model that Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) used to explain his actions in (Better Call Saul: Switch (2016)).
This particular episode is used to tie many past events/characters (Better Call Saul) to many future events/characters (Breaking Bad). The marrying of Saul/Mike to the Gus Fring clan signifies a true, shared beginning to the characters that we know from Breaking Bad. The title of this episode,"Sunk Costs", primarily refers to the extensive time spent to positively advance each other's career/future, then ditching it to play for the other team when the opportunity presents itself (classic Good vs. Bad, or what woukd call 'breaking bad'). During the prelude, we see a pair of shoes, tied at the laces, break free from an overhead power line and drop to the ground. This is quite literally to be taken as "waiting for the other shoe to drop" (except 2 shoes dropping shows the coming together of multiple people/characters), as we see the past finally intertwine with the long-term characters from Breaking Bad. Furthermore, yet still unconfirmed, S3E3 signifies the combining of the past of the 3 main background characters from Breaking Bad. S3E 3 = SEE 3
