Breaking Bad coming back

The episode where Walt cleans up his apartment of the bomb materials after he blows Gus up shows him putting a Lily of the Valley in the truck of his car to get rid of it. The only thing we don't know is how he did it. But Vince Gilligan says he imagines that Walt made it into Candy and showed up at Brock's school and gave it to him. I read on IMDB that someone thinks that's true. I forget the episode, but it's the one after Brock was poisoned. Saul's secretary is shown shredding things and someone observed that one of the documents looks like a school schedule.

wow
 
You may disagree with whether Jesse would have put all the pieces together like that, but that's what happened.

+2, I'm in that camp as well.

And thank you for the summary, it saved me the leg work.

I'm a pretty focused observer, not normally the type who needs to ask someone to fill in the details and help me understand a plot, but this one is pretty sketchy.

Oh well. I'll just go with it and try not to let it spoil what remains. Walt is the devil (if that video he gave to Hank doesn't prove it, I don't know what does). Now Jesse knows how evil Walt is, and Jesse is lashing out. Good enough for me.
 
SPOILER ALERT

I'm not sure Hank likes the idea of Jesse "hitting (Walt) where he really lives" if this implies physical violence. Up until this point, I got the distinct impression that Hank wants an arrest and a prosecution. I find it hard to believe Hank wants Walt dead, or any harm to come to Skylar and the kids. So this "partnership" with Jesse is just all wrong.

Or, maybe Hank will follow Jesse's lead and go rogue.

Of course, hitting Walt where he really lives could mean those barrels of money buried in the desert. That would be devastating. Walt should have arranged some Swiss bank accounts by now.
 
Breaking Bad is about the pursuit of a moral milestone so superior to other morals that normal bounds are broken, ultimately corrupting and turning him into a cold, driven, brutal person.

This is true of Walt, and starting with Season 5, notice how Hank begins to do the same thing. But it got very chilling in this episode. The two are not so different.
 
I'm not even sure what to think after tonight's episode. I still think Jesse is going to end up dead but I'm not really sure.

Sometime...soon...(I assume) Walt will be giving Saul's guy & call...and disappear to New Hampshire, I presume (flash-forward of Season_5's debut). IMO, Walt looked totally alone in that Denny's...like no more family (I question if they're even alive at this point).
Walt, if you recall, comes back to ABQ to hunt someone...who? Jesse? Hank? Todd/his gang? Saul? ...Marie???

Tonight's episode left me feeling a little depressed, and thats weird because none of the other episodes ever have.
I with you; I would have been OK if this show ended with Seaon_4.
I wonder if Uncle Jack will have the time or desire to whack Jesse for Walt? If he accepts Walt's pending offer, things could get super ugly for Jesse.
...it's gotta happen fast. Four episodes (4) to-go.
I woulda thought Lydia's pissed-off Czech cartel woulda shown up by now...

To me (& others)...it's a show about karma & its consequences.

Many have broke bad throughout this show....
