Breaking Bad “To’Hajiilee” Episode Recap

With only a few episodes left of Breaking Bad, the series promises to keep viewers on the edge until the very last second. In last night’s episode entitled ‘To’hajiilee”, the writers did just that with an epic shoot out that has everyone wondering who will make it out alive!

The name of the episode is symbolic to say the least as To’hajiilee is the place where Jesse and Walt first began cooking in that run down RV, the place where Walt hid his money, and where the killer shoot out began between the Hank and Gomez and Todd’s white power clan of relatives.

Hank is desperate to get Walt behind bars and uses Jesse’s hate as a major aid. They comprise a plan to get the 411 on where Heisenberg is hiding his money, as it is the only evidence to lead to a solid case. Hank uses one of Gomez’s trusted men to get Huell, Saul Goodman’s bodyguard, into protective custody to get some answers from him. Hank shows the big man a photo of Jesse lying on the floor which looks like his brains were shot out by Walter, but in actuality it was just a photo of animal parts. Huell sings like a canary with fear of his own life.

In the meantime, Walt speaks with Todd and Jack about his hit on Jesse and works to find out his whereabouts. Jesse and Walt have had a rough relationship, but Walt has always looked to him as a son. In the last few  moments, he calls off the hit, but it was just a little too late.

Hank and Jesse trick Walt into giving up where is cash is by threatening to burn it if he doesn’t show up, unbeknownst Walt that they had no idea where it was. Hank arrives with Gomez and Jesse and finally places Walt in cuffs. As they prepare to drive off, Todd and his relatives pull up in three trucks armed and ready. Bam! A shoot out commences and fans are left to see who makes it out alive in the next episode!

Breaking Bad airs on AMC on Sundays at 9 est.
