Heh, Saul took the buyout option too...sneaky way to fake us out a bit. Finally we get to see this guy and his vacuum shop. And Walt's there too because this is the future and not the past. He's going a little crazy in his isolation.

Saul makes well reasoned arguments...not even Mike could get money to his granddaughter. I also didn't even consider the phone call might have been a ploy, although at this point I'm not sure if that's just Saul's read on the matter or if that truly was part of Walt's larger plan. Leaning towards the former as Walt's world is just one big hot mess right now.

Although at least this answers who the guns were for in the opening tease this season. All to kill Jack and his crew to get Walt's illegal drug money back so he can give it to his kids because Walt's imagination lives in a reality where this will be possible.

"It's not over until cough cough cough-cough cough" Gee Walt, I don't remember you saying it like that. Also, kinda neat how this cough has slowly started to make its way back this final season, a firm reminder of how this whole shebang got started.

Somehow, despite the mask, I was able to recognize that as Todd...possibly the stance or his eyes. What are you doing at Walt's place, Todd? Oh, he's trying to make sure his waifu is safe. Alright, carry on.

Mr. Lambert has officially arrived in New Hampshire and is annoyed at the lack of things like phones to contact people. This guy's got business to do, you see. But he's also part of a nation-wide manhunt so he's lucky to be as hidden as he is.

96% batch and Jesse's reward is...a bit of ice cream. The vital nutrition of Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream fuels Jesse's muscles, giving him the strength and stamina to push beyond his limits and somehow make it out of that pit. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't get much further than that because Todd is presumably not an idiot and also there was a camera.

Aaaand there goes Andrea. She lasted far longer than Jane, although Jane still had a cooler dad. "There's still the kid" scene cuts to black before we can hear any confirming resolution. Jesse is really having a very not fun time in his own personal hell.

Meanwhile, Lambert's in a seeming eternal purgatory, slowly working up the courage to break free. Nothing is stopping him but himself.

Eventually he goes the distance though, but learns through a conversation with Jr. and then through a TV interview, that nobody really wants Walter White around anymore, and his contribution was essentially nil.

So he was ready to call it quits I guess, until something sparked him into action. Was it hearing that blue meth was still going strong? There's only so much plot that can happen with one more episode to go.
