All good things must come to an end is what showed up across billboards on the side of buildings, posters in subway stations and promos on television leading up to the final season of “Breaking Bad.”
Finally the time has come  to learn the slow the fate of Heisenberg.  The first episode of one of televisions greatest dramas, “Breaking Bad†started off superbly. The anticipation has begun.
Right from the start, this episode will have your stomach in knots and leave you with questions from the aftermath of last season. What is great about this episode is that most of those questions are answered right off the bat. The most important anticipation that fans have been patently waiting for is Hank’s reaction to Walt’s secret. Right off the bat we are rewarded.
While Walt is out of the drug business, he encounters an old business associate who wants him back in the game due to the product decreasing in value. We also find out that Walt is faced with an old problem that has returned. Jessie has problems of his own, as it is obvious he is depressed and looking to give away his 5 million dollars to Mike’s granddaughter and the boy who was shot on the motorcycle last season. Sol is confused on why he would do that, so he calls Walt, who tries to talk Jessie into keeping the money. Sol swears to him that he did not kill Mike. Jessie, still feeling the guilt of the boy on the motorcycle getting killed, decides to throw his money away literally, as he drives by the streets in Albuquerque tossing the stacks of cash in front of people’s homes like they were the morning newspaper.
The episode concludes with Walt finding out that Hank knows about him after he finds a bug on his car. After Walt heads over to Hank’s house, there was an adrenaline-filled altercation that took place, leaving the audience craving for what will come next.
Overall, this episode was worth the wait. As the end nears, what does the future have in store for Walter White? Will he get away with what he’s done, or will he die? Only time will tell.
