What happened to Marie Schrader after the events of the series finale of Better Call Saul.
Marie was a loyal er of the White family, especially after Walter's initial cancer diagnosis. At the start of the series, Marie and Skyler had a relatively good relationship, but Marie had a tendency to pry. She was married to Hank Schrader, an ired DEA agent. Towards the end of Breaking Bad, Hank finally found out about Walt and Jesse's involvement in the drug trade. Hank wouldn't let Walt's actions slide, so he prepared Marie for the damage that was about to hit the family. Marie called out Skyler and forced her to tell Walt Jr. the truth.
The drama took a turn when Hank was killed during Walt's takedown. Even though Walt wasn't the one who killed Hank, Marie put the blame on her brother-in-law, which drove a wedge between her and her sister. For a while, there was no indication about what later happened to Marie, Breaking Bad ending on a much more Walt-centric note as it did, but some clues were given, such as Marie cutting Skyler and the rest of the White family out of her life. It wasn't until she appeared in the finale of Better Call Saul that audiences finally got a little more insight into what happened to Breaking Bad's Marie Schrader.
Marie Schrader Got Some Catharsis In The Better Call Saul Finale
Marie's Breaking Bad fate wasn't really addressed in the series finale, and she also didn't feature in El Camino. But after years of waiting off-screen, Marie Schrader had a chance to get some justice for what happened to her family. In the Better Call Saul series finale, during Jimmy's hearing, Marie was called into the room, and she was able to confront Jimmy about his role in the mess that tore apart the White family and killed her husband. After telling him that "No matter what they do with you now, no matter where they put you or for how long, it will never be enough," Marie essentially ensures that Jimmy will serve time for his crimes.
Marie's Better Call Saul cameo doesn't last long, but it offers far more insight into the character's fate than Breaking Bad did. Set not as long after Breaking Bad as viewers initially thought, Jimmy's hearing displays that Marie is very much still mourning her husband and is traumatized by what happened, but she's able to face him head-on with confidence, which will probably help her healing process. And seeing Jimmy behind bars probably won't hurt her, either. Although the events of Breaking Bad can never be undone, after Better Call Saul set things in order, Marie might be able to move on with her life.
