Breaking Bad - Part 7

[Travesty]

I think the hug was sincere to a certain degree. I think Walt still cares for Jesse, or else he would already be dead. But I think the hug was Walt doing a couple of things: he was telling him he still cares for him at this point, while he was manipulating him so he can get away from Hank easier, and also, to let him know that he is giving him one more chance at life. If Jesse doesn't go, Walt may have to kill him to get away.

So in a sense, I think the hug was a way for Walt to say goodbye, while also giving Jesse a chance to live and/or have a life.

Also, the look on Hank's face throughout the entire dinner conversation, it was a look of just pure disdain! You can see he's so absolutely disgusted by all of this.

skyler got some sort of hug too. when he said,"i forgive you"...

I believe that hug was real.

Even Walt knows it wasn't real. Jesse opened up and called him on his b.s., so Walt went back to playing the father figure.

 

[TheFuture]

he called him son many times.
but in this recent episode, you clearly could see how he manipulated both "sons", walter jr. in the beginning and jesse in the end.

will be interesting to see what jesse will do now. will he try to take him down alone or go to hank...

btw, drew sharp had an appearance in this episode too.

Last time he called him son I rolled my eyes and I don't believe he meant it at all. Jesse felt as such too I think.

I have to laugh at how warped Walt's thinking has become; he feels killing Hank is not an option because he's "family", yet he's no problem throwing him underneath the bus by framing in for multiple serious crimes.

Well, that's how you see it. For me, it was probably the most moving moment of the entire series.

It might end up with Walt Jr killing the great Heisenberg.

And you know, on another note, I had completely forgotten about Hank's hospital bills and the fact that he hadn't the slightest clue who paid for it. Marie must be thinking to herself "gambling money? GAMBLING MONEY??! How could I have EVER believed that?? $177,000?!"

Hence why Walt's DVD "confession" was so devious. Because even if Hank did do what Marie suggested by going to his superiors in the DEA and showing them the video to get ahead of Walt, saying that he's being blackmailed, there's no getting around the fact that his medical bills were paid for with Walt's drug money. Even if Hank says he was ignorant of this, it still has the appearance of collusion. And besides, Hank already knows that his career is over the moment he goes to the DEA and tells them Walt is Heisenberg, but the medical bills clinch it and, as Walt threatened, actually make Hank look, at the very least, that he knew what Walt was doing. Couple this with everything else that was true in Walt's "confession" and Hank is pretty much screwed. After all, what scenario is a grand jury more likely to believe--that Heisenberg was right under the nose one of the DEA's top agents for over a year? Or that this top DEA agent was, in fact, Heisenberg all along?

Walt is just too clever.

What a twist!

no the actual twist is

Spoiler

he kills him during the meal known as dinner

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well, that's how you see it. For me, it was probably the most moving moment of the entire series.

I also read the hug as being totally real, I think he was deeply shocked and upset Jesse would think that he would actually try to kill him. Like Hank I doubt the idea had even crossed his mind as being a viable solution. I mean this is a guy who he has repeatedly gone bat**** insane for and defended at personal cost.

Of course, at the end of the day he also fully expects Jesse to do what he wants and regardless of any of that he still very much needed Jesse to leave the state. So I did read the hug as being real, but I didn't really see it as any turning point for his relationship with Jesse from Walt's perspective. He'll log it away in the file of things that he feels really guilty about and move on.

Before or after he passes the green beans with the almond slivers?

 

[Rowsdower!]

I actually wonder if Jesse accidentally kills Walter Jr.

SOMETHING has to stop him from burning down Walt's house. Perhaps it's just someone walking in, but what if it goes farther than that? What if Walt Jr. walks in and screams at him, and Jesse (in his already crazed state) just whips out a gun and shoots him without thinking?

Imagine what a gut-wrenching twist that would be for Jesse, given his reaction to the whole "shooting the kid on the bike" thing. I'm not saying that's what WILL happen but... what if it did?

After all... Walter Jr. is going to be on Talking Bad next week. And if the show even slightly follows the format of Talking Dead, then...

 

[Travesty]

For some reason, and maybe I'm wrong here, but I think Jesse will stop himself from actually burning down the house when he either sees Holly or her crib. Or maybe Walt Jr. is sitting there eating breakfast as Jesse is pouring gasoline everywhere?
