These writers and Vince continue to amaze me.
Every week I've tried countless predictions in my head for what's happening next, only to be foiled and simultaneously amazed. Strangely, I was close for the first half of this episode, but the second half just blew it all out of the water. Watching Hank and Marie's faces just watching that confession was priceless. To me it was a confession of Walt truly breaking bad, as he has likely forever fractured whatever relationship their family had, for the sake of forcing Hank to back off. The subtle humor sprinkled in here and there (the restaurant). The recollection of the robbery, which most shows never seem to do (always on to the next thing) it gives us a broader perspective on the people surrounding the current meth business and brings light to Heisenberg's legendary status amongst them now.
And the build up to Jesse finally...FINALLY putting all the puzzle pieces together. So, so much build up to this moment. You just knew he had a bigger part to play when it was all said and done. He's seemingly been looking forever for something to blame for all his misery and misfortune. Cause he knows that most of his actions have been out of care for others, yet they've all come to be hurt in some way. He's suspected Walt many times, but never been able to really Know that Walt was truly the one that screwed him, so he could never really let it out on him. So he's only had himself to blame, hence all the depression. But now that's all changed, and now we're seeing the strength of all his bottled emotions come out. Just amazing how it all built up to that moment with the cigarette box. And because Walt jerked him around for so long, funny enough it'll be his long time partner to be the one to change everything for him. I say this because I think that if he doesn't do something drastic at the house, Jesse's probably going to run into Walt Jr. face to face, and open a whole new can of worms for Walt.
