Breaking Bad - "To’Hajiilee" Review (Spoilers)

9/12/2013

WHAT?

WHAT??

WHAT?!

I CAN’T... I

WHAT?!

I could literally stop the review there and it would still make sense to anyone who’s seen the episode. Once again, Breaking Bad has enticed us and enraged as the next 7 days will become the longest week of all time for fans.

Picture
So it turns out I was right; we see Walter call Todd for his uncle to put a hit on Jesse. But first, Todd makes his own batch of Meth, which Lydia needs now that Heisenberg is retired. However, it’s not blue; the defining feature of Heisenberg’s Meth is gone - Todd can only cook to 76% pure. Throughout this scene we get some very creepy vibes from Todd towards Lydia, especially when he strokes the lip stick stain on her coffee mug.

Anyway... Jesse is still staying with the Schraders and working with Hank and Steve to take Walt down. Luckily, Hank has a new plan: Huell. Huell is Saul Goodman’s bodyguard, who has been taken by the D.E.A. Hank creates a fake picture of a dead Jesse and tells Huell that Heisenberg wants to kill him next. With this, he tells them what he knows about where Walt’s money is – Unfortunately, it’s not a lot. He says he rented a van but that it doesn’t have GPS...

       ...But Walt doesn’t know that.
Picture
Walter, who has visited Andrea and Brock looking for Jesse, soon receives a picture from his former partner in crime: An open barrel of money. Panicking, he then gets a call as he drives for the desert, with Jesse warning him that if he hangs up, he’ll burn all the money. Walt tries to justify poisoning Brock, but Jesse won’t hear of it. Eventually, he makes it to the desert (The exact co-ordinates of his buried money) but no one is there. Worried, he calls Todd’s uncle to tell him to come out to the desert after thinking Jesse is around. However, he soon learns it’s not just him, but Hank and Steve to. He tells them not to come, and decidedly gives himself up. After a violent outburst at Jesse, Walt is put in handcuffs.


Once again, Hank has worked his magic, using his barbeque to fake the picture. Hank calls Marie to tell him of his victory, and tells her he loves her. But then, Todd, his uncle and his gang of Nazis pull up with guns. Walt, now sat in Hank’s car, pleads with them not to shoot, but eventually, it’s all out war. 2 men versus a whole gang. Hank and Gomez take cover behind his car as the bullets fly at them. We see Walt lie down so as not to get hit, and then;

Yep. That’s right.

THEY CUT THE EPISODE OFF MID-SHOOT OUT!

Not even Joffrey Baratheon could be that evil. No one is dead. Yet. No one has been shot – And the uncertainty is agonising. No one, I mean NO ONE, can predict what happens next – But I’ll give it a go, even if I’m begging for it not to happen:

After his outburst, Jesse is put in a separate car whilst they cuff Walt. The last time we see him is just before the shootout. As soon as guns start blazing, we never see Jesse again. My stomach turns at this thought, but maybe the episode will start, the shootout will end, and someone will go to the car, to see Jesse shot dead in the crossfire. Honestly, the thought alone makes me want to cry.

I think it’s almost a certainty that Gomez is gonna kick it, and Hank is certainly a contender too. I mean, he could’ve waited until he got home to tell Marie, you know, celebrate and stuff. But maybe that call is to put fans at ease if he dies and never said goodbye to Marie. Either way, only one character is gonna survive this: Walter. I’d like to say that Jesse is safe too but I really don’t think he is. I can only hope for the best...

Other than that, there wasn’t too much to be interested in. Skylar worked at the car wash with Walt Jr., who was ecstatic to meet Saul Goodman when he came to the car wash to talk to Walt, and Marie cried after he phone call. But this was an episode to remember my friends, and with three weeks until the end, anything could happen....

BUT THAT ENDING WAS CRUEL.
