tread lightly.
HOLY EMMY REEL, DEAN NORRIS!!!!!!!! I cannot believe they went there so soon, holy crap. HANK KNOWS! WALT KNOWS HANK KNOWS! HANK KNOWS WALT KNOWS HANK KNOWS! OPEN CONFRONTATION AND PUNCHING WALT RIGHT IN HIS DUMB FUCKING FACE! Man oh man oh man, what happens from here? I loooooove how much Hank pieced together from like a year ago, the phone call about Marie, the car accident, SO MUCH STUFF, and he doesn't even know the half of it yet! It's interesting that Jane's death and the plane crash - aka the worst thing Walt's ever done to Jesse and the worst thing Walt's ever caused to happen - are one of the few major things that, if Walt just kept his mouth shut, nobody would ever end up knowing about. But, as some of the worst things Walt's ever done, they almost have to come out, don't they? I have no trouble believing that Walt will run his mouth at some point, BUT WHAT IF IT'S SOME NIGHTMARE SCENARIO WHERE HE TELLS JESSE ABOUT JANE JUST TO HURT HIM, WHAT IF JESSE BECOMES A WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO DO RIGHT BY THE SHARPS/EHRMENTRAUTS/BOETTICHERS/EVERYONES AND WALT GOES TO MURDER HIM AND IS LIKE "LOL PS I WATCHED JANE DIE" JUST TO RUB IT IN. Uuuuuuggggggghhhhh every possibility is too painful. Jesse can't get out of this series in one piece MAINLY BECAUSE JESSE IS NO LONGER IN ONE PIECE.
As for Hank: WHAT A FUCKED UP SITUATION TO BE IN! I love that he just hauled off and punched Walt in the face rather than pasting on a smile and trying to play him for as long as he could. I like that he was too overwhelmed by the enormity of everything Walt's done! Like, Walt can smile and go about his business and talk to Skyler about the margin on air fresheners [JUST THROW ALL THE AIR FRESHENERS IN THE TRASH EVERY DAY, RECORD THEM AS SALES, AND ORDER NEW ONES YOU LITERALLY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH] because unless he's wearing his ugly fucking Heisenberg hat, he's utterly deluded about what an irredeemable monster he is, whereas Hank is now TOTALLY AWARE OF IT and normal humans can't bear that kind of thing! I'M GLAD HANK CRACKED!
But this DOES put him in an interesting position - one I'm surprised Walt didn't focus on more, honestly, although I guess he's still trying his whole "who, me?" thing - where he's going to have to destroy his own life to take Walt down. He has to pursue a member of his own family, which would tear them all apart in and of itself, but there's the added complication that Skyler is complicit in all of this, so he's also going to have to target his wife's sister. Beyond that, there's the humiliation that Heisenberg was right under his nose the entire time and he never had any idea, which...it would have been bad when he was just an agent, considering how often he asked Walt to consult on these things, but now that he's an ASAC, it's got to be worse.
On the bright side: If it comes to that, Skyler is going to do so fucking well in prison. SPINOFF ABOUT SKYLER'S LIFE ON THE INSIDE. I'd watch it.
SPEAKING of Skyler, her vs. Lydia was a delight, and I continue to admire the way that Skyler is the only criminal on this show with any fucking sense whatsoever and ALSO how thoroughly she's embraced intimidation as a tactic when I can't even imagine her following through. I LOVE YOU, SKYLER. CALL ME.
And that just leaves Jesse! I can't talk about it. Crying forever. I can't imagine him leaving this show okay. WHAT IS EVEN LEFT TO DREAM FOR HIM? I used to have my GUS AND JESSE AND MIKE ARE A FAMILY OF CRIME BROS dreams, and then I had my MIKE KILLS WALT AND LOOKS AFTER JESSE dreams, and now I have...nothing? "JESSE FINDS SOME WAY TO COPE WITH THE LOSS OF HIS INNOCENCE AND ALSO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER GIVEN A FUCK ABOUT HIM, BUT ULTIMATELY STILL HAS TO LIVE WITH ALL OF THAT EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE." Okay. Cool. What a dream.
IN OTHER NEWS I've been feeling shitty about pretty much EVERYTHING ABOUT MYSELF for the last week or so, which is always fun. The best way to handle this would probably be to DO A LOT OF THINGS and KEEP MYSELF BUSY, which is why it's very convenient that I just dropped a month's pay on my fall tuition bill and won't be able to afford to do anything ever again. HELPFUL!!!! Either way classes start up in three weeks and from then on it'll hopefully be ALL MOMENTUM ALL THE TIME and I won't be so focused on my own awfulness! FINGERS CROSSED!
