End Times

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Hank leans on Gomez to explore one final lead, as Walt scrambles to protect his family. Meanwhile, Jesse learns some unsettling news and races to share it with Walt.

Our Take

The ricin gambit: Jesse believes Brock was poisoned with the ricin cigarette and turns on Walt; Walt, cornered, spins the truth into a shape that points at Gus — and Jesse buys it. Meanwhile Gus visits Tio Hector Salamanca and taunts him into a rage, establishing the season’s final collision: the one man Gus hates more than Walt is the one man who might kill him. The episode is all setup, and the finale detonates every piece.
