The series revolves around Walter White, an underpaid chemistry teacher, raising money for his family by producing and distributing crystal meth.
‘Better Call Saul’ serves as a prequel to ‘Breaking Bad‘. Saul made his debut as a lawyer in Season Two of ‘Breaking Bad‘, by helping Walter White and Jesse Pinkman out of a legal jam. Its last season also marks the first time the series intersects directly with the events and timeline of ‘Breaking Bad’. It is full of Easter eggs that include cameos from notable characters including Krazy-8, DEA agent Hank Schrader and his partner Steven Gomez.

How Does Hank Die?

Everything once builds crumbles down in this episode, just like in the poem Ozymandias by P.B. Shelly. He was brutally killed by Jack Welker. He was the leader of a criminal gang with neo-Nazi and white supremacist ties to Walter White, who hired him to kill Jesse Pinkman after he learned that his former partner was helping Hank. However, after realizing that Hank would be put in danger by the gang, Walt attempted to call off the hit before the final showdown in the desert.
Unfortunately, his efforts proved to be useless and, too late as both Steve Gomez and Hank were killed while the gang kidnapped Jesse and held captive by Jack’s nephew, Todd. In the final episode of ‘Breaking Bad’, Walt enacts his revenge against Jack by killing him and his entire gang before dying himself of a gunshot wound.
