Viewers were devastated by the episode, and full of praise for Rhea Seahorn, who plays Kim, and her incredible performance. One person wrote: "The performance of @rheaseehorn as Kim Wexler over the past 6 seasons of #BetterCallSaul has been one of the greatest I’ve ever seen. I say that, not just because I knew her back when & because she’s a great person. I say it because it’s absolutely true. A full-on master class."
What did you think of the episode?
Another person added: "Not sure if that was @rheaseehorn ’s final scene as Kim Wexler, but I’m giving her a standing ovation in my living room anyway. #BetterCallSaul." A third person tweeted: "Kim Wexler walking away because she knows Jimmy never will. Doing what she said she’d do all along & save herself & keep her agency & what’s left of her integrity in the end. I’ll just be over here ugly crying over that last scene forever."

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine about her character, Rhea said: "She’s aware that whatever it is, whether he’s the fire and I’m the match, or the other way around, the two of us together, whatever has happened, the road that she has gone down, she loathes herself far more than she has ill feelings about him. It’s about herself."
