Better call Saulin addition to showing us the lawyer’s controversial transformation process, he also took the time to resolve some issues related to breaking Bad. In episode 11 of the final season, for example, the series resolved the biggest doubts about Huellwho has been Saul’s accomplice in numerous illegal activities since his inception.
Obviously it was in breaking Bad where various characters, including Saul and Huell themselves, saw him fall. However, in the case of the second, something rather curious happened. While he was being interrogated, DEA agents Hank Schroeder and Steven Gomez were killed. Consequently, they were unable to continue their mission to extract information.
Marvelous, breaking Bad he never told us about Hewell’s fate. Did he end up in jail because of his myriad ties to Saul and Walter White, or was he able to get out because of the information he provided to the DEA? They even joked on the Internet that the character is still waiting for Hank and Steven at the safe house.
Also, Better call Saul resolved the issue completely. In the scene where Francesca is on the phone with Saul, he asks her what happened to Huell. His former assistant replies: “I think he went back to New Orleans. The DEA arrested him for lying or something. The last I heard was that he left.”
Yes indeed Vince Gilligancreator breaking Bad and its spin-off had previously sealed Hewell’s fate. He did not specify his possible whereabouts, but delved into how the DEA dealt with the detainee after the disappearance of two agents:
“Agent Van Auster is probably in touch with DEA headquarters. So when he finds out that Gomez and Hank are missing, he quickly asks his superiors what they were doing. He will be taken back to headquarters. He will be interrogated, find out that he knows, which is not much, and thrown out into the street. Now Hewell does what he wants. He knows best how to do whatever it is. He is away from home, free human”.

So, from his words, we deduce that Hewell returned to his old habits, but somewhere else – in New Orleans? Undoubtedly, he was quite skilled at his tricks.
