"Because Jesse isn't just some... some rabid dog!" 🔥 Walt truly does value Jesse but Jesse is a threat like Skyler said. Hank even lists the good things Walt has done for Jesse in this episode- like Walt running over Gus's two gangbangers or saving Jesse from an inevitable Emilio or Krazy-8 death. Jesse just pushes him too far in the end. Walt's been facing death the whole series. He tried to off himself in the pilot... he's an already dead man in a sense- he may be thinking to himself it could help wrap this whole mess up for his family if he dies. "I have lived under the threat of death for a year now. I've made choices. I alone should suffer the consequences of those choices, no one else". I'm open to the thought of Walt leaving behind the coordinates on the fridge for Skyler to find and giving Jesse the opportunity to harm or kill him even for poisoning Brock, unarmed. Hanks basically breaks it down for Jesse and he's right. Walt left the voicemail to Jesse after Walt Jr. hugged him and he immediately thought of Jesse. Jesse could have got him in a more private place to harm him even. As he's making the call to Todd at the end you can tell he's distraught but probably thinking to himself what Skyler said earlier in the episode- it's either Jesse or potentially their family. Walt didn't want to kill Jesse, he tried to avoid it, he genuinely saw that option as out of the question when Saul & Skyler suggested it, he legitimately wanted to talk to Jesse and "make him see reason" but when Jesse responded to this suggestion with a vague threat that, at least at that point, was thought to potentially involve Walt's family or going to the dea or his money. He felt he could no longer risk having an unhinged emotionally charged Jesse around potentially causing him real problems. It is only at this point that he reluctantly accepts what both Saul & Skyler suggested as the only practical option. In this back half of season 5 I'm all for team Walt. Especially after watching the series dozens & dozens of times and if you hate the guy- I get that too. He did messed up things like everyone, he can be rough around the edges sure but he shows commendable character for being the antihero he is. Hank does let his "I want to be the guy to slap the cuffs on him" attitude take over him in this season more than ever before. Hank had pride and ego like Walt. Hank was head of the dea and keeping Pinkman at his house is crazy when you think about it. Hank couldn't let this go though. Hank could have even let Jesse handle Walt on his own, not intervene by tracking Jesse. I don't think Jr. or Holly was on his mind in those moments either- probably just thinking about his career. When Hank was on to Gus, Mike was worried about the cartel attacking Gus's guys when Hank had eyes on their comings and goings which would create the "perfect storm". The cartel was the rabid dog for Gus and now Jesse is the rabid dog for Walt now that Gus is dead and Hank has his eye on him. I love the parallels in writing between the characters. Also the two–faced pink teddy bear is in a tree behind Walt's house when Hank is escorting Jesse to his car. Post didn't catch it according to my Albuquerque BB tour guide.

2024-09-16 18:16:13 +0000 UTCMike not Jessie. Mike was in it with Gus . Walt killing innocent people I agree he wrong . But the killers Walt taking out. Do we want them still running the town hurting people . Mike was a bad guy him playing with his having a family don't change that . The lesser of the evils at this pointvof the show . But Gus was going to kill Walt family. . Walt not just randomly killing people. The first guy he killed tried to kill him with a plate . Walt killing bad people. Mike wasn't a good. He murdered way more people that Walt did. Jessie was Walt guy that who he has to be loyal too. They criminals. I don't get people wanting Walt to just get attacked . These people dangerous .

2024-09-16 17:40:59 +0000 UTCI don't think Hank was being "mean" when he called Jesse a junkie murderer and was willing to sacrifice him to get Walt. I know Jesse is not as bad as Walt, but he has done his fair share of terrible things by his own choice. Just one example, people hate Walt for manipulating others for his own gain, but they forget Jesse was doing the same to addicts who were in rehab (including Andrea) to sell his stolen drugs. Maybe I'm the very few who doesn't sympathize with Jesse as much just because he apparently has a sensitive side now.
