Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Breaking Bad yet (who are you?) you might not want to read the following post. The episode began in typical flashback fashion, thanks Lost for inspiring writers to take advantage of this tantalizing TV feature, and reminded us all immediately how much we need and missed this show. “Hi Carol”, Walter White remarked, as his neighbor dropped her groceries. After the scene, in which the house was vacant and dilapidated, graffiti of Heisenberg welcomed Walt. You immediately knew some shit went down. As the show progressed Walt claims he has gone back to his usual life, but can he really? Hank suffers a panic attack, Skylar warns Lydia to stay away, Jesse cant bare to live with himself and the “blood money”, and obviously we see Walt Jr. at the dinner table (I wonder why his character hasn’t been more developed). The episode was slow at times, but the high points reminded you how great this show really is. Jesse and his emotional turmoil once again transfixed us, and reminded us why we love him so much. Hank, who at times comes off as a meathead, has proven to have his intellectual moments and fine detective attributes. The best moment of the show, as I’m sure all will agree, were the last 5 minutes of the show. Only Breaking Bad and Vince Gilligan would have the balls to move the script forward so fast. The show could have easily waited a few weeks for the Walt and Hank confrontation, but decided to make a bold move and viewers were undoubtedly pleased, as social media exploded. Predication time! Who will die? Who will live? Who will ride into the sunset? Personally, I think that there is no way Walt survives the life he has created. One must wonder why he was reaching into his trunk, which contained some sort of automatic rife. Was he attempting to save Jesse? Was he one the run? That one scene has left us with so many questions, but that is the beauty of this show. My predication is that Lydia forces Jesse back into the drug game, because he is the only other person who knows the formula. She clearly needs purer meth, and with Walt out of the game, Jesse is her last shot. Walt, I believe, is on a mission to save Jesse, and in the process meets his fatal end. It would be an ironic and emotional scene, which would lead viewers through an emotional roller coaster. As the show evolves, we will get our answers slowly. Vince Gilligan has promised the finale will not disappoint, and at this point, who can doubt him. Just remember Hank, tread lightly!
