After Mike Ehrmantraut threatened to break Saul's legs when searching for Jesse Pinkman ("Full Measure"), Saul hired Huell as a bodyguard to accompany him to most places ("Box Cutter"). Saul sent Huell and Patrick Kuby as part of his "A-Team" to force Ted Beneke to repay his IRS debts with the money Skyler White gave him. After intimidating Ted into signing the check, he makes a sudden sprint for the door to escape, but trips on an area rug and crashes head-first into a wall, breaking his neck. Huell and Kuby believe Ted is dead, and flee the scene ("Crawl Space"). When Saul asks how Huell and Kuby would let this happen, Huell states that it was an "act of God" ("End Times").
