Flashback to Jesse and Walt’s first cook. Wow, they really were hostile towards each other during MethLab: The Early Years. And Walt had such lustrous hair!

The final season begins with a flash forwards. A newly-bearded Walt arrives at his former home, which has long since been abandoned.

Walt retrieves a small vial from behind an outlet cover in the bedroom that I assume contains ricin. On his way back to the car, he sees his neighbor. “Hello, Carol.” Continue reading
