As the journey of Walter White is near it’s end, the suspense continues to leave the audience strangled while they try and grasp for breath.
From start to finish, this episode makes you become glued to our TV with few moments of levity, but the rest caused us to hang on to our seats and experience a ride that does not hold any punches, especially to the gut.
This episode picks up where the last one left off, as we see Walt drive off from Hanks garage, only to try and warn Skylar that his DEA brother in law Hank knows all about him. The only problem is that Hank got to Skylar first and they meet up in a diner. Hank tries to convince Skylar to give up Walt, but she refuses to do so and causes a scene in which she shouts, “AM I UNDER ARREST,” then walks out, which is not a bad idea to use as an excuse to not pick up the check.
Walt, on the other hand, goes to the shady, but wacky lawyer Saul Goodman, to give him the news about Skylar going to speak to Hank. Saul then has his two henchmen, Huell and Kuby, played by hilarious comedian Bill Burr, to go to the private garage where Walt keeps his money mountain. One of the funniest scenes throughout this entire series takes place involving both Huell and Kuby in which they decide to make money snow angels on top of the gigantic stack of cash. You can say it was literally their Scrooge McDuck moment.
We then see Walt drive a white van in the middle of the desert filled with barrels of his money from his safe garage, which he soon buries in the middle of nowhere. When Walt finishes burying his money, he remembers several numbers which are coordinates of the buried treasure so to speak. We do find out that he left the money for Skylar- he tells her to keep it, when his time is up.
The moving parts Lydia mentioned in the previous episode are revealed, and the main man is Todd, along with his gangster uncle and his crew as we saw from last season’s finale. Todd will now cook for Lydia, which will increase the value of the product. Although it is not as good as Heisenberg, it is far better than what they have at the moment. Lydia’s reason to have Todd cook the Blue Crystal is because he learned from the best in the business, Walter White himself.
Finally we see Hank back at work ready to tell his boss about his drug king pin brother-in-law Walt. The process stalls however when he finds out that Jessie Pinkman has been arrested and brought in for questioning. As Hank enters the interrogation room the episode fades to black, and we are left biting our nails to see what Jessie will say or do.
Will he confess? Will he give up Walter White?
