I won’t reveal anything else other than to say that in order to grasp what is going on, you need to remember (a) what happened in the first flash forward, (b) what the White family’s house looks like (a low-slung ranch with a swimming pool), and (c) what became of the ricin that Walt made for Jesse in Season 4.ĭon’t fret if you can’t recall every last detail of the ricin plotline it was impossibly convoluted. The first episode of the second half of Season 5 (“Blood Money”) also begins with a flash forward. “It” turned out to be an M60 machine gun in the trunk of the car that Walt used his new keys to open. It showed Walt on his 52nd birthday-full head of hair, scraggly beard, no wedding band, fake name, New Hampshire ID, surly disposition-eating bacon, eggs, and hash browns at a Denny’s in Albuquerque, then purchasing a set of keys from his old gun dealer in the bathroom after assuring the dealer that “it” wouldn’t leave town. The first episode of the first half of Season 5 (“Live Free or Die”) began with a flash forward. The following paragraphs consist solely of spoilers. Just don’t read it if you haven’t seen EVERY SINGLE EPISODE of Breaking Bad to air so far. Use it to settle any arguments that break out in the office Monday morning. Consult it again while you watch the show on Sunday. So we’ve put together a quick primer to help you avoid any confusion: the seven things you need to remember to get up to speed for the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad. In true hyperserialized fashion, Sunday’s premiere is particularly labyrinthine and self-referential. But without exposition or explanation, it’s easy to forget important plotlines and events, too.

Breaking Bad is endlessly rewatchable every second is part of the story. In a lot of ways, Gilligan’s hyperserialized vision is great.
