Better Call Saul Theory: Mesa Verde Is In Breaking Bad (With A New Name)

In Better Call Saul season 5, chapter 5, “Dedicado a Max”, a hope starts to form against Mesa Verde Bank and Trust, which may explain how the company privately appears in Breaking Bad, and disclose a connection to Walter White( Bryan Cranston ). Although Mesa Verde never performs or does mentioned in Breaking Bad, it has been an increasingly key part of Better Call Saul since being introduced in season 2. It was first represented by the law firm Hamlin, Hamlin& McGill( HHM ), but remain with Kim Wexler( Rhea Seehorn) after she left the company, and again when she started working for Schweikart and Cokely.

While Mesa Verde has been there as something of a area machine for the narrative arcs of Kim, Jimmy( Bob Odenkirk ), and Chuck( Michael McKean ), the bank has a more active role in Better Call Saul season 5. They’re insistent on house a brand-new summon center on a lot where one home occupier is refusing to movie, leaving to a stand-off that now peculiarity Jimmy and Kim be against Mesa Verde together. Mesa Verde, and CEO Kevin Wachtell( Rex Linn) in particular, is refusing to budge an inch on the matter, but Kim now has a plan to make them down, perhaps setting up another Breaking Bad connection in Better Call Saul.

Based on what Kim learnt in the photos in Better Call Saul season 5, occurrence 5, it’s likely that she has a plot to make a case of copyright infringement against Mesa Verde. In pictures of Kevin’s office, the Mesa Verde motto looks virtually identical to one in another photograph, and the path Kim smiles after ascertaining it strongly suggests that Mesa Verde never sought permission to use the likenes. Fast forward to Breaking Bad, meanwhile, and although there’s no Mesa Verde, there is a Mesa Credit Union. This appears in Breaking Bad’s pilot; it’s Walter White‘s credit union, and from where he withdraws the money so Jesse can buy the R.V.

Assuming Kim is successful in the copyright infringement case, then it’s entirely possible Mesa Verde will be forced into a major re-branding. Not exclusively because of the copyright, but to move away from any negative press that comes with it, a fresh start could be better for the company. With that, then, there’s a chance that this copyright case arises in Mesa Verde becoming the Mesa Credit Union we see in Breaking Bad, perhaps with a corporate restructure if Kevin resolves up having to leave the company.

Mesa isn’t an remarkable list to find being used by a company in New Mexico, of course, so it is possible this is just going to be a coincidence, especially as Mesa Verde was unplanned when Breaking Bad was being constituted. That said, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have shown a great deal of interest in connecting scatters that previously didn’t even exist. Them opting Mesa Verde for the mention of a bank in Better Call Saul, when Mesa Credit Union already exists in the Breaking Bad cosmo, is the kind of small but fun detail they love to add in.
