Season 5: Episode 11, Confessions

In this episode, Walt gets deep with his manipulations and Jesse is on the brink. The start of the episode shows the true respect that Jesse has for his peers and the limit to which it continuously gets tested by Saul and Walt. When he is getting interrogated by Hank about Walt, he should have just turned him in, he would have been a free man and would have gotten his revenge. When Jesse is about to leave town and get a new identity at the request of Walt, I felt a sigh of relief that he was finally going to be over and done with everything because if someone deserves that, its Jesse. He's always done right by everybody, but everybody doesn't do right by him. He's gone through hell and the worst of it. When he finds that they took his ricin cigarette from him and he rushes back to Saul and then to burn Walt's house down, I was cheering him on. Walt's had it coming for a while, why couldn't Jesse see the sinister we see in him. It has taken all this damn time. The whole episode until Jesse rushes to the house is a drag for him. You feel his pain of hopelessness and sense that he doesn't even know what to really do anymore. I'm egging him on to burn Walt's house down and set things right in the universe and put Walt where he belongs, underground. Walt in this episode is crazy. How he can keep lying to his family is crazy. How he can threaten Hank with that video is crazy but smart. No matter what is said about Walt, you can't say he was dumb. The way he gave money for Hanks hospital bills is genius, Hank is now an accomplice or associated in some way. When he acted out that confession on video, it made me think of how insane you have to be to lie to such degrees to save your own life. But damn that was smart. The ways he lies to Skylar about the degrees to which he is involved with the drugs are insane. It makes me look at Heisenberg as more of a monster than ever, more than before all the dirty drug stuff he was doing was going on. He has her to the point where she is almost numb to the lies and is floating along to get by through the days hoping that it may get better. This is no position fit for a man to have their woman. Walt pisses me off. To Jesse I say, do what you got to do and make those that owe you pay. To walt I say, you are digging a hole my friend, be careful. Something tells me not much will change next episode.
