When Jimmy’s assistant phones HHM, she’s more like Francesca Giddy – jittery with nerves and worried she’s breaking the law, her voice wavering with anxiety before hanging up and vowing to never do it again. Compare this to Breaking Bad, where Francesca’s phone call to Hank is utterly convincing without a shred of doubt, uncertainty or panic. Hank Schrader – an experienced DEA agent – not immediately suspecting the call was bogus serves as testament to Francesca’s performance. Breaking Bad then shows the eternally-suffering secretary hanging up, scowling at her boss and telling him she deserves a pay rise.
Francesca’s nervousness in Better Call Saul compared to her resigned disappointment in Breaking Bad reveals Jimmy slowly ground her down, probably asking one “small favor” after another until she gave up protesting and just complied. There’s also a moral chasm between slyly getting an access code for a mediation meeting and posing as a police officer to tell someone from the DEA their wife might be dying. Both legally and ethically, the latter is far, far worse. Under her employer’s corrupting influence, the secretary (d)evolves from “is this legal?” to “this definitely isn’t legal” but continues doing Saul Goodman’s dirty work regardless.
When Breaking Bad season 3’s “Sunset” first aired, audience focus pointed squarely towards Walt and Hank’s tense near-miss encounter, and few would’ve spared a thought for poor Francesca. By showing her reluctance to participate in Jimmy McGill’s shady dealings, Better Call Saul casts Francesca’s phone call to Hank in an even worse light.
Better Call Saul continues Monday on AMC.
