About Time Jesse: Breaking Bad S04 E05-07

In this jam-packed episode of Resonant Reels, picking up from the explosive opening episodes of season 4 of Breaking Bad with episodes 5 through 7, picking up from the explosive opening episodes. We collect ourselves with new lines being drawn and how much more volatile and self-destructive these characters become. We start this episode with a buddy cop vibe with Jesse being dragged along for a day with Mike where we learn neither of them wants Jesse to be there. Through Jesse's absence, we watch Walt panic, struggle, and stumble his way through the day causing more trouble for himself. From this, dominoes start to fall due to Walt's recklessness... We follow this with the stellar episode "Cornered", as we watch Skyler see more through the cracks and meets Heisenberg in Walt's transformative and infamous "I am the one who knocks" monologue. From this, Skyler has a brief conflict of character before recommitting herself to "protect this family from the man who protects this family." Within all this, we also witness a growing rift that Gus has orchestrated between Walt and Jesse. We finish this episode with an intense build-up as Walt seeks Jesse's help to assassinate Gus, through the prep and few, though not the best, opportunities that arise for Jesse. Hank's also back on the case and does some independent investigative work and links connections of Heiseinberg, Gale's murder, and Los Pollos Hermanos? We discuss the further destructive nature of Walter White as well as the trauma that Jesse is still trying to deal with as many moves and strategies are being made internally and externally around Gus Fring's drug empire. So please join us on this epic journey of Breaking Bad as we continue to be amazed at the storytelling this show has to offer.
