I'm pretty sure everyone who watched this episode had the same reaction when it cut to credits. How could they do that to us and how are we supposed to exist for the next seven days? (Ok, maybe that last part is just me). That was quite possibly the most frustrating cliffhanger in all of TV history, no? Shootouts are always intense, but none more so than this new and instant classic "Breaking Bad" scene and the entire episode for that matter. My heart is still kind of beating out of my chest. Let's break it down, shall we?

The first half of the episode was focused on Walt trying to have Jesse killed by Todd's Uncle Jack, who was more than happy to do the deed if Walt started to cook the blue meth again. Walt agreed, but only if Jack killed Jesse first in a quick and painless manner. Because, you know, Jesse is like family to Walt so his death must be quick and painless to justify it. Typical. Walt still had no knowledge of the Jesse-Hank partnership, so his attempt to lure Jesse to Andrea was a fail. 

What follows is something that we've all been waiting for. Jesse finally, finally got his much-deserved upper hand on Walt. He, Hank and the audience all knew that Walt's one weakness is money. The only way to lure Walt out into the open was to threaten his precious Benjamins, by sending him a picture of the barrels, which were found courtesy of Huell and a handy GPS. Walt raced, and I mean raced to find his money while pleading frantically on the phone with Jesse. The entire car sequence was played for high stress, but it also showed just how selfish Walt has become. You almost feel sorry for him, not because he's about to lose his money but because of the way he reacts to the prospect of it. 

In the end, Walter White was finally caught and arrested by Hank Schrader. Because that's how this story was supposed to end right? If anyone thought this was the case, they obviously don't know "Breaking Bad." Once Walt realized there was no way out, he called Uncle Jack and his goons and told them not to bother coming. It was over. With Walt in handcuffs and Hank having a satisfying conversation with Marie, I think everyone just knew that something insane was about to go down. It didn't disappoint.

Uncle Jack and his goons showed up, and all hell broke loose. Hank and Gomez shooting at the criminals, Jesse contemplating leaving the car, Walt dodging bullets. In its five seasons, this was the most intense sequence the show has had yet. The craziest part is that the scene isn't over. The cut to the credits was incredibly frustrating and reminiscent of the Jesse shooting Gale cliffhanger. An intense resolution to the shootout (and multiple deaths) should be expected at the beginning of the next week's episode, especially since there are now only three episodes left. 

Leftovers

- I think Hank is going to bite the dust. Hard. He finally caught Heisenberg so this just means he has to die. His conversation with Marie was a huge foreshadowing to his demise. Then again, maybe we're supposed to think that.

- Lydia's lipstick mark on Todd's coffee mug is a direct callback to Jane's on Jesse's cigarette. In other words, I can't see Lydia lasting much longer. 

- If Jesse ever finds out what Walt did (didn't do) to Jane, it's safe to assume he'd do more than just spit in his face. 

- The most uncomfortable scene was probably Walt's encounter with Brock. We don't know how Walt exactly poisoned this kid, but he seemed to know that something about Walt was fishy. The fact that Walt acted as if the heinous act never happened was sickening. 

- Even in a serious and intense episode like this one, "Breaking Bad" will always have room for comedic relief. This week, it's courtesy of Walt Jr. checking out Saul's busted face. Actually, the entire carwash scene in general. Have an A1 Day! 

- I'll admit it. As much as I've wanted to see Walt get arrested for his crimes, I felt strangely sad when the handcuffs clicked together. 

- "Don't drink and drive, but if you do, call me."

- If someone can let me know what that brain actually was, I'd really appreciate it.
