When he corrects the judge on his name not being Saul, but Jimmy, and he looked back at Kim, that was when he did it. Not for her, but because it was right. He just finessed the entire court in to getting Kim there, so that she could see him do it.

    If he was always a sociopath, he would never give up his 7 years even more than that was useless. Kim is also more to blame for what happened to Howard. He spent a thousand years in prison doesn't change that. It was just a schedule for that ending. Making him sacrifice himself for a woman, even though it didn't make sense. Another thing, most of the series he lived in a nucleus totally separate from Gus and co. It doesn't make sense for him to have the power to nominate White. It doesn't make sense for Mike to work for him. He should actually have been killed by Gus for knowing about Lalo.

    You are reaching. I dont think he wanted to get 86 years in prison to calm his conscience .He had remnants of moral compass, but long prison sentence did not fix anything bad he did previously.
    Perhaps it was just temporary insanity that he refused 7.5 years ?
    Temporary insanity was to go back to cancer patient house and break in when sedative was already wearing off and his partner refused to complete the ID theft.
    Temporary insanity was to break into Chuck house, week after Chuck recorded that tape. If he thought it thru, he woud realize that tape was not admissible in court and Chuck already made copies, it was entrapment.
    Temporary insanity was to go back to Marion house to offer her the bail money. His partner was arrested, so what ? He had vacuum cleaner repairman number, money and diamonds, he could flee again. It was not obligatory to live in Omaha.
    Why was it necessary to throw bowling balls to Howard`s car ? He could lose his lawyers licence if he was caught. Destruction of property, vandalism ..
    He was smart, but he had these insanity moments when his mind boiled over and all these moments hurt him.
    I think it is pretty obvious that after a while in prison he regretted these moments.
    When he met Kim again in prison, he didnt look like happy man .
    I bet if he had a choice :
    a ) pay"your debt to society" here in prison for rest of your life to "calm your conscience"
    b) or live in Tijuana beach condo, swim in pool and fix bingo numbers in local retirement community, hire occasional hooker or pretend that you are Kevin Costner and get some sex for free
    I am sure he would choose option b )

    The point of the final scene with Kim is to show that she is back in his life in some capacity. Everything in her eyes and body language is telling Jimmy that shes not going to leave him there.
    I should also mention that Peter Gould and Rhea Seehorn have gone on the record saying that they do believe Kim will continue to be in his life.
    So yes, it is a positive ending in that very particular Breaking Bad\Better Call Saul twisted way.

Either his counsel attorney or the judge confront Saul about how much of a grand stander he is and that this so called confession for redemption was just another turn from a mentally ill man.

    It also made clear that in the ending of season 4 Jimmy wasn't lying about his brother in court he was lying afterwards to kim saying "one of them sucker was crying".
    He chose this time not to be slippin jimmy again and take responsibility for his actions.
    That's what matters in the end.

    While watching this I (I know I'm slow!) Jimmy and Kim should have waited until Jimmy and Kim were with HHM and THEN proceeded with the Howard plot. They would have been named partners and live happily ever after! But. Maybe, not the best screen play...so sad

      Jimmy and Kim did the whole Howard plot in order to get the settlement to the elderly people as quickly as possible. The HHM lawyers were dragging it out to get more money. And meanwhile the victims weren’t getting any younger. That’s why they did it. Plus the “fun” of it. In the end, they both wanted to atone for it…Kim by confessing everything to Howard’s widow and Jimmy by taking the 86 years.

    I loved the show but HATED the ending. NOBODY as self serving and being late 40s in show, throws their life away. You could have taken 7.5yrs but basically decided on DYING in a federal prison???????????????? NOBODY WOULD DO THIS Maybe I am in minority but I do not see Jimmy/Saul doing a 180 and dying in prison for??????????????????

    How does Saul/Jimmy trading 7 years for 86 protect Kim from a civil suit? A lame ending.

      Jimmy does that to redeem himself, not to protect kim from civil law suit. He did that to turn back, from breaking bad to baking bread in prison

      The confession was his decision basically. Not to help Kim but to stop his scheming ways and try to make amends with himself for all his regrets.

      He did this for Kim too. That’s very clear and it’s very disappointing

      In fact, sacrificing oneself for a woman makes it a typical end of the Left agenda. And she didn't ask for or need it.
