Warning: The following recap contains spoilers for Sunday’s Breaking Bad series finale. If you haven’t seen the episode yet, flee! All others, proceed.
Breaking Bad has gone dark one last time, and after seeing how Vince Gilligan & Co. chose to wrap Walter White’s journey, I say this with all of the sincerity in my being:
Yeah, bitch!

The amazing series ended with an equally impressive episode, which connected all of the flashforwards we’d seen and methodically led to the series’ conclusion.
Some of the major highlights:
• Walt steals a car in New Hampshire, pretends to be a newspaper reporter to learn where Gray Matter’s Gretchen and Elliott now live, then shows up at their place to ask that they use his money to set up a trust for Walter Jr. They agree — but just to make sure, Walt scares them into thinking that he’s hired hitmen who’ll kill them if they don’t go through with the plan.
• Those “hitmen” turn out to be Skinny Pete and Badger (with laser pointers); Jesse’s two former sidekicks alert Walt to the fact that Jesse is still cooking.
• Walt crashes one of Todd and Lydia’s meetings in a coffee shop, asking them to bring him back in so he can teach them a “new method” for making meth. She dismisses him, then stirs a packet of stevia into her tea.
• Walt visits Skyler and gives her the lotto ticket, informing her to trade the GPS coordinates of Hank and Gomez’s burial site for a deal with the prosecutor. He then sees Holly (up close) and Flynn (from afar) for the last time.
• Walt gets into the Nazi’s compound and, using an ingenious rig set up in his car’s trunk, kills everyone but himself, Todd and Jesse. Jesse kills Todd, refuses to kill Walt, then escapes. Lydia calls — Walt lets her know he’s poisoned her with the ricin. Then Walt — who has been injured by one of his own bullets — collapses as the cops show up.
I’ll be back in a while with a full recap. In the meantime, don’t let that stop you from filling the comments section with your thoughts and feelings.
