I think he's turtling up a bit and we'll see it create a slow gnaw at him. To just have a 'eureka!' moment where he becomes Saul simply doesn't fit what Gilligan does, especially not on this show.
We'll see him struggling his ass off over this in the coming episodes, IMO. It's gonna eat away at him. Because if he's just decided "screw it, being good doesn't keep you alive and feeling bad just looks miserable - I'm gonna be Saul now..." then where else does this show have to go?
Nah - there's still more story to be told.

I think you read too much into my assessment.
I said he saw an offramp from a treadmill. I didn't say he jumped off a cliff.
That moment when he let Howard stew alone in his guilt is an important moment, but it's not like he suddenly started scheming to cultivate underworld clients and defraud authorities. A piece of him that internalizes his hand in bad karma broke. There's still plenty of road to travel.
