Breaking Bad: Confessions (2013)
Just wow!
Whenever you think things couldn't get any better, Vince Gilligan manages to prove you wrong again.
With things escalating far quicker in the beginning of season 5B than expected, this roller-coaster of a show doesn't seem to be coming to a stop, or is able to for that matter.
In this episode we find Walter and his family trying to come to grips with the recent discovery of both Walt's former job by Hank and his returned cancer. The way Walter tries to mitigate the danger will bring your blood to a boil and delivers one of the most brilliant plot devices this show has yet had to offer.
In addition, we find Jesse at an impasse: spiritually bankrupt and nothing physical left to lose, Jesse struggles with the realization that he might just be the loose end that needs tying up from Walt's perspective and finds himself struggling with his options.
Though manipulative Walt may seem to be sometimes, after viewing this episode you will find yourself asking whether Walt only acts out of own interest, or whether he has yet some humanity left in him.
Abandon your expectations and get ready for a thrill! Nothing can prepare you for what's about to come.
NOTE 1: In the beginning of S5B we find Walt with two weapons.. a large machine gun and the small vial of ricine. This indicates Walt has two targets, with one having to go quietly and unexpected, and one who needs to go out with a bang (and is probably a group). I keep wondering.. are we approaching the point where we can tell who the targets are?
