Breaking Bad Recap - Buyout

Buyout
S5 Ep 6 #52
10 episodes to go...

I thought last week was an excellent episode. Well crafted & thought out. Some recapper's did not like the episode. The guy from the Vulture hated it.

The 1st 8 episodes of S5 seem to be a lot of time wasting. There are only 11 episodes to go & things should ramp up very soon.

Buyout is the name of the 52nd episode of BB.

Let's dig in to a pivotal episode.

Todd is a sore subject for #TeamMeth & wants to stay in on the game. Jesse is of course distraught over the kid's death & is out voted by Walt & Mike.

Gomez is tailing Mike. If you have been following me, I believe Gomez is working on the inside. This is the 1st scene in which the other side of the argument is displayed. I may be wrong. Mike wants out & recruits a depressed Jesse to sell the Methylamine they just stole for 5 mil a piece. Obviously WW is pissed because he is living his dream as a drug kingpin.

How this plays out could finally give us some inside to the first scene of Season 5 at Denny's.

The next 2 scenes finally begin to move the entire story forward.

We meet a man named Deckland. He is a buyer for the kingpin out of PHX. He wants the "Blue" or "Fring's Blue" off the streets. No deal is done without the consent to sell the whole stuff. Deckland is a very familiar looking actor from another show.

Then we see a scene at the White's residence with Jesse trying to convince Walt to sell his share. "Grey Matter" is brought back into the fold and the long time viewers finally get some insight into what went down.

Then we get an awkward, but time wasting dinner scene with Jesse
"the nephew" Walt & Sky. Jesse play's the awkwardness to a tee. 

The episode ends with Walt "burning" himself out of a jam & saving his Kingpin status for another day as he mutters, "Everybody Wins."

Now on to the weekly 8 questions:

1. What was the reason Walt left Grey Matter?
2. What is the empire business?
3. Is Todd dealt with?
4. Did Skyler reveal too much to Marie?
5. Is Deckland the person out to kill Walt at the beginning of the season?
6. How long until Hank connects the dots?
7. Can everyone win in this game?
8. Can Breaking Bad finish on top?

Overall, a solid episode. Buyout moved the plot forward. From here on out, we should be on a wild ride.
I think AMC messed up. They should not have spaced Season 5 out so long. In the end it won't 'matter, but it took us 6 episodes to finally get the momentum towards the end game for Walter White aka Heizenbeg.

Until next week #jewfromovement..
