"Better Call Saul" Fans Over the Moon About Secret Cameo in "Pluribus" Episode 5
Apple TV dropped Episode 5, "Got Milk," two days early to coincide with Thanksgiving, and fans of Vince Gilligan's series are buzzing about a surprise voice cameo. The episode picks up where last week's installment left off, with Zosia (Karolina Wydra) fleeing Albuquerque after being drugged by Carol in an attempt to reverse "the Joining."
In the recording that plays when Zosia dials 0, fans initially thought it was a random voice on the other end of the line. However, when they realized who it actually was, reactions ranged from surprise to elation. Patrick Fabian, who played Albuquerque lawyer Howard Hamlin in "Better Call Saul," is credited with the cameo in an interview on The Pluribus podcast.
On set, Seehorn's co-star even fell for the prank initially, giggling when she realized that her former co-star was playing Howard Hamlin again. Fans were thrilled to see a nod to the beloved character and felt like it added a personal touch to the episode.
While Patrick Fabian isn't officially credited with his role yet, eagle-eyed fans have spotted other Easter eggs referencing Howard Hamlin, such as a tweet from Apple TV and a reference to "Point and Shoot," a significant episode in the series. Fans are also reminded of the late actor through Carol's beloved Macallan whiskey.
It remains to be seen whether there will be more nods to "Better Call Saul" in "Pluribus." However, for now, fans are celebrating the Easter egg and loving every minute of it.

so apparently they dropped ep 5 early and people were like "who's that voice on the phone?" and then it hits you and you're just shook 
patrick fabian is literally the king for pulling off the cameo without getting any credit yet 
and i love how katelyn seehorn fell for it too 
can't wait to see if there's more "better call saul" magic in future eps 
I was on the edge of my seat when I heard that random voice on Zosia's phone call and I immediately thought it was going to be someone new, but then I saw Patrick Fabian's name and I FREAKED OUT!!! 
its crazy patrick fabian is literally a mastermind with that cameo he made me laugh on set apparently kieran seehorn's reactions are everything too 
I'm literally so stoked about this cameo, can you even believe it?! Patrick Fabian just popped up as Howard Hamlin in that one voice chat and I'm DYING 
. But what really got me was when Lauren Seehorn (who plays Kim Wexler btw) giggled on set thinking it was a prank. That's just priceless 
that's so funny!
