Breaking Bad went from slow emotions to heart-pounding suspense in one episode! And this is, in my opinion, one of the best episodes of Breaking Bad ever! Considering how good most of them were, you can see why this one totally blew everything into the oblivion.
After the fake call, Hank heads to Jesse's house and beats the crap out of him for the incident at the scrap yard. Jesse is sent to the hospital, where he threatens to destroy Hank's life and expose Walt as Heisenberg if he ever gets caught. Skylar goes over to Walt's house, and asks him to stop Jesse, saying that Hank is family, but Walt cuts her off with a cold "Not currently."
However, Walt still tries to make it up to Jesse, by getting him to be his partner in the new lab. Scolding the new assistant for a mistake he didn't make, Walt contacts Gus and tells him that he wants Jesse as his assistant again. But Jesse wasn't that easy to convince. With an Emmy-worthy performance while lying in bed, he finally gets Walt to admit that his meth was as good as the master's. And soon after, Jesse decides to return.
Meanwhile, Hank has been dropped from the force for beating up Jesse and he shows us his human side for once. Before this, he continuously portrays the 'tough guy' facade, but in this episode, Hank breaks down for the first time and admits to Marie that he was wrong. It's really sweet to see them together again, Hank was pushing her away before, but now he's looking to her for comfort. This episode serves well to remind us that Hank is also human.
And of course, who could forget the final moments of this explosive episode? In fact, it was these few minutes that really gave us a kick as if we've been doing meth ourselves. The ultimate showdown between Hank and the cousins we've been expecting since the end of 'Sunset' finally takes place in a parking lot. Hank appears to be trying to make it up to Marie for his months of absence with a bunch of flowers. As soon as he gets into his car, his phone rings, and a robotic voice informs him that someone was coming to his kill him and he had one minute. Suddenly fearful, Hank looks around, but everyone looks like potential villains, until one of the cousins appear behind his car and shattered his windshield with a shot.
Hank reverses, crushing the Cousin #1 against the car behind him and causing him to drop his gun in Hank's. As Hank reaches for it, Cousin #2 fires at him from the side window, hitting him in the side. Hank quickly crawls out of his car and escapes while Cousin #2 moves the car and releases Cousin #1. "Finish him," #1 says, since Hank just crushed his lower body between two cars. So #2 heads out, shooting a few people befor efinding Hank, who shoots him a few times but fails to kill due to the bulletproof vest Cousin #2 is wearing. A few shots, and Hank is down, but not dead yet.
Cousin #2 points the gun at Hank's head, then mumbles "Too easy," before heading back to his car and grabbing their infamous axe. Hank struggles to load his gun with a bullet and just as the axe is lifted over his head, he fires, blowing a big hole in Cousin #2's head.
Still doubt Breaking Bad is good? Hell, it totally rocked this week, showing a side of certain characters we never knew existed before. And now that Jesse and Walt are partners again, it would be fun to see them work in Walt's new under-laundry-service lab. I'm still wondering if Walt agreed to have Jesse back to save himself or Hank. The former makes him a bastard, but the latter shows that Walt is indeed a man who would do anything for his family. But then again, maybe it's a mixture of both, since Heisenberg's personality has appeared once again to dominate Walt's.
Incidentally, I found this comment on Breaking Bad's Facebook page and thought it pretty appropriate to share with all of you. It's a classic example of how good Breaking Bad truly is, about how the portrayal of a man who, faced with difficult choices, inadvertently makes one he thinks would benefit his family the most. It isn't about right or wrong, it's about what truly matters, and how we would do anything for our loved ones.
