This.
He was
about to murder somebody with dog ashes, he isn't going to get redemption.
David says, "I just want Saul to have a "happy" ending living in some middle of nowhere town living out his final decades" - the thing is this is exactly how the series started out and the life he could have had (with a bit of looking over his shoulder) but he's to self sabotaging to live or even want to live this life. Jimmy is a complex character, he does [or did] have a heart and you could muse on for ages whether he is good or bad, whether some of his actions came from a place of misguided ethics or if it was all self serving but he seems his most volatile when his peers want to do the right thing or take accountability for their actions - Jimmy deflects and goes into destruction mode,
Kim suggesting he should hand himself in is what started this
crime spree arc. He doesn't learn, last week it was shown he was given red flag after red flag about dealing with
Walt and there were obvious parallels with the current
cancer person and he had multiple chances to back out of that situation.
Breaking Bad two main characters arguably got the ending they deserved and arguably got happy endings, but the show
Reeee-ally played with the idea of what a happy is for these characters;
The question with Jimmy is what kind of ending does he deserve? Does he deserve a happy ending, what does a happy ending look like for this character? First of all before you even get into
him contemplating killing a cancer patient and a nice old lady strawberry float Identity thieves! Whereas for Kim who has a conscience its a sadder ending for her if she does get away with everything.
I'm not well versed in American laws to have any idea what kind of prison term J/Kimmy would serve, but maybe the happiest ending at this point (and I don't think they will do this - too obvious) would be Kim getting a light sentence so she feels she can atone and move on and Jimmy having some kind of redemption arc and handing himself in on his own terms, I think he would get on ok in prison. Jimmy grows and faces up to the things he's done. It's 2010 in the show at this point, maybe they could take it right up to the present day Jimmy released and he and Kim make a go of it
