The best episode of the season so far. If I didn't know that there was still three episodes left, at one point I would've thought that this was the series finale.
For Hank and Jesse, this was their almost victory episode. If Breaking Bad were to end with Walt getting caught, this is probably what it would've looked like. Hank, after his long search, was finally vindicated. We got to see Hank completely trap Walt and arrest him. For a moment, he was triumphant. He even went through the motions of victory. He put Walt in handcuffs, got congratulated by his partner, and then called Marie to tell her he got him. If it only wasn't for Todd and his uncles...
For Jesse, this episode was also a moment of victory against Walt. At the beginning of the episode, Jesse and Walt were matching wits and trying to kill each other. For the first time, Jesse finally outsmarted Walt. While Walt's biggest play was going to Andrea to try to lure him out, he failed. Why? He didn't have the knowledge that Jesse was working with Hank. Just like Walt knew Jesse's weak spot was Andrea/Brock, Jesse knew Walt's weak spot was his money. They both executed their plans and Jesse came out on top.
If anything, the victories of Hank and Jesse this episode makes me worried for them. There's three episodes left and their stories seems to have been completed. Does this mean that they're now expendable? Sadly, my prediction is yes.
Observations:
- "That dude who looked like Wolverine couldn't crack 70%".
- Lydia is a big fan of blue (she's wearing a blue blazer).
- The coffee was a metaphor for the meth, Todd cant get it just right.
- Kid's lunch consist of PB and J, string cheese and yogurt squeezer (Go-Gurt?).
- Walt thinks Fruit Loops is "good stuff".
- Saul told Walt Jr. that getting punched in the face is an occupational hazard for a lawyer.
- When Hank told Marie he loved her, I knew something was going down.
- Hank took that picture "by the barbecue grill. You know, where we used to cook out with the family."
- I thought Hank and Gomie were going to die right away.
