Should Jimmy McGill shoulder some responsibility for Spooge's death? Better Call Saul season 6's "Hit & Run" raises that uncomfortable possibility. David Ury's Spooge made his Breaking Bad debut in 2009 with season 2's "Breakage." Parents to a young son, Spooge and his wife are meth addicts living in squalor. After they steal a bag of Blue Sky from Skinny Pete, Jesse Pinkman pays Spooge and his lady a visit. Intending to leave with either their money or their meth, Jesse gets more than he bargained for when Spooge offers to pay using cash from a stolen ATM. In their desperate attempts to crack the machine open, Spooge is killed by his disgruntled and dangerously high spouse.

Spooge finally makes his Better Call Saul bow in season 6's "Hit & Run." Set approximately 4 years prior to his death, Spooge is one of many new clients loitering in Jimmy McGill's office in search of legal representation after the lawyer's Lalo Salamanca association becomes public knowledge. Better Call Saul doesn't reveal why Spooge desires legal counsel, nor how Jimmy intends to defend this oddly-named client, but from the few clues available, Spooge's prequel cameo hints toward Jimmy inadvertently playing a role in his gruesome Breaking Bad demise.

Immediately, Spooge looks far healthier in Better Call Saul than he does in Breaking Bad. During his Jesse Pinkman misadventure, Spooge bears all the physical hallmarks of a devastating meth addiction - skin sores on his face, erratic and nervous behavior, etc. While Spooge is clearly deep in the clutches of meth dependence during Breaking Bad, there's no sign of substance abuse whatsoever in Better Call Saul. Spooge is calm and collected in Jimmy McGill's office, and his face is free from the meth sores he'll develop further down the line. Spooge's Better Call Saul attire also indicates he's not living in the same dingy conditions Jesse will witness four years later. From his physical appearance alone, we can extrapolate that between "Hit & Run" and "Breakage," Spooge experiences a drastic decline. The timing of his spin-off cameo might prove Jimmy is partially responsible for that.

David Ury as Spooge in Better Call Saul

Jimmy McGill's influx of clients in Better Call Saul season 6 all call Saul because of his reputation as Lalo Salamanca's lawyer. Anyone who hears about Jimmy representing Lalo and thinks he's the man for them must be involved in something criminal themselves, so despite Spooge's more presentable exterior in Better Call Saul's era, he's obviously no stranger to breaking the law. Maybe Spooge has been picked up by police for the first time, pulled his first robbery, or scored his first hit. Maybe he's taking meth, but remains in control. Whatever service he pays Jimmy McGill to deliver, Spooge finds himself at a crossroads in Better Call Saul season 6. If he's taken to court and forced to attend rehab, maybe he never becomes the broken, haunted Spooge seen in Breaking Bad. But if the great Saul Goodman finds some legal loophole that gets his new client off the hook, Spooge goes right back to his fledgling criminal career, and continues down a path that ultimately ends with death via stolen ATM.

Spooge's brains spooging all over the floor is not what Jimmy would've intended, of course, but the cameo highlights a larger moral problem with "Saul Goodman's" ethical stance. By allowing drug addicts and small-time criminals to evade the law, Jimmy is enabling these crooks to continue making bad choices, and commit more serious crimes later in life. Had Spooge not solicited Saul's services in Better Call Saul, maybe he could've swerved a life of addiction and crime, and his young son would still have a father.
