(TV Review) Breaking Bad- Confessions (8.25.13)

*Spoilers below*

The shine is not only off the rose at this point, but the rose has been run over, doused in gas, and will soon be set on fire. This episode picks up immediately after the last episode. Jesse is being interrogated by Hank, not telling him anything, until Saul pops in and stops it. Walt meets Saul and Jesse in the desert where Walt tries to talk Jesse into skipping town and getting a fresh start. When Jesse breaks down and begs Walt to be honest with him for once and just admit that he needs him out of the way and that the only reason that Walt wanted to meet in the desert was because Walt would kill him if he refused, Walt grabs Jesse and hugs him. Jesse breaks down.

Walt and Skyler make a confession tape and then call Hank and Marie to meet for dinner and discuss their options. When Hank refuses and Marie tells Walt that he should just kill himself to end all of this, Walt and Skyler pop up, leave the confession and walk out like they own the place. As soon as Hank and Marie get home they watch the confession. It is a confession of Walt telling the DEA that Hank has been the mastermind behind it all and Walt was just the cook...and he proceeds to tie every.single.thing to Hank in a neat little bow. Hank is SCREWED. Walt ties Hank to the drugs by calling out the $177K that the Whites paid for Hank's care. Hank tells Marie that by taking that money she has killed Hank.

Jesse agrees to go into hiding and Saul sets up a guy to make it happen. Jesse is told not to take any pot with him when he goes to meet the guy and then bumps into Huell on the way out of the office. Once he gets to the location he reaches to get his pot out of his pocket and realizes that Huell lifted it from him when they bumped into each other. He then goes to crab a cigarette and FINALLY connects the dots. He realizes that Walt DID get Saul/Huell to lift the Ricin cigarette that led Jesse to believe Walt and team up to kill Gus. He looses it. Goes to Saul's office and beats him up until, under gun point, Saul admits that it was all Walt. Jesse goes to the White's home with a can of gas and starts dousing everything. Saul calls Walt who goes to get a hidden gun for protection.


Predictions

- We see Todd leaving a voice-mail for Walt (about the management change) and then telling his Uncle and the other guy (the gangsters) about Walt and Jesse. Todd will now be cooking the meth. I believe that Todd will not be able to make good enough product, that his Uncle will kill him, that they will kidnap Jesse (when Walt goes into hiding) and when we see Walt on his 52nd birthday he is going to use that gun to get Jesse back. I think that saving Jesse is how Walt will die.

- Hank is F***ED! There is nothing he can do now to pin it on Walt without implicating himself. Especially with the info on the disc. He is going to go over to the "dark side" to take care of Walt.

- Watching Walt manipulate Walt Jr was hard.

- Watching Jesse during this whole episode was even harder. He thinks he is going to die, confronts that, gets a false sense of closure with Walt, gets his hopes built up with moving to Alaska, gets his pot stolen and then his reality is brought down around him.

- I still hate Skyler.
