Francesca Liddy (played by Tina Parker) is Saul Goodman's outspoken receptionist and secretary.

Eventually, Walt and Skyler are able to purchase it for $800,000 after Skyler hires Kuby to perform a fake environmental audit on the car wash. They meet with Jimmy at a diner, where Craig's wife is hesitant to hire him. Which, creepily, is exactly the words Gale uses 10 minutes later when Jesse is there, crying, cornered, pointing a gun at the milk-toast chemist. Todd and the other Vamonos employees are also burglars, gathering information from the houses they tent and selling it to outside parties. Todd notices and disables a nanny cam at Walt and Jesse's first post-Gus Fring cook site, attracting their attention to someone they think might be useful in the future.

As they are leaving, Saul mentions that the home used to host a meth lab, which is not revealed as required in the property disclosures. Gale had been pursuing his doctorate in Colorado under an NSF grant but realized that it was not the life for him because he loves being in the lab and wanted to preserve the "magic" he saw in chemistry. He holds an MS degree in organic chemistry, with a specialty in X-ray crystallography. Originally a con man nicknamed "Slippin' Jimmy", he had been arrested in Chicago, but his older brother Chuck McGill, a partner in an Albuquerque law firm, freed him of those charges on the condition Jimmy would return with him to find legitimate employment. This reason is very clearly laid out in episode 8, but even before this, ... Gale’s view of freedom is one of self-sufficiency. However, instead of arranging a meeting, Walt instructs Jesse to kill Gale before Mike kills Walt, leaving Walter as the only chemist available to Gus.
