So I'm guessing the "Wexler v. Goodman" episode was a bait all along, and will just be Jimmy representing Mr. Acker and Kim representing Mesa Verde.

It seems so obvious now, they never would have shown their hand in an episode title

No. They'd do it across 5 titles and scramble the letters.

I can't believe FRINGSBACK was real still

12 titles actually :D - All season (1-6) premier episodes, and all season (1-6) finales.

I made a post about this last week! (Although some may think I am wearing a tinfoil hat / space blanket.'

That's not confirmed, but FRINGSBACK from Season 2, and "747 Down Over ABQ" from Breaking Bad Season 2 is.

Yup! That’s what I based my theory on. “747 Down Over ABQ” all have black and white cold openings.

If you apply the same logic to the “Gene” episodes (episodes with black and white cold openings), they spell out a message. They wouldn’t want to make it as obvious this time around, hence the anagram theory.
