History Recap / BreakingBadS5E14Ozymandias

* WhamEpisode: The whammiest episode of all. It's revealed that Hank and Gomez lost the gun battle with the Nazis. Afterwards, Uncle Jack's crew kill Hank and Gomez, take 6 of the 7 barrels of cash, go their separate ways with Walt, and take Jesse into custody so they can debrief him and have him teach Todd to cook Blue Sky. Walt personally informs him that apart from poisoning Brock, he was directly responsible for Jane's death, one of Jesse's biggest tragedies. Walt Jr. learns everything about his parents' involvement in the drug trade. Walt and Skyler get into a fight and Walt Jr. calls the cops on him. Walt ends up fleeing, taking Holly with him before leaving her at the fire department after an epiphany, and the episode ends with him getting into a car with Saul's identity-eraser.

** Interestingly, in the next episode, Walt orders his Scotch neat – something Hank used to do, but Walt did not (in "Gliding Over All," he makes a point of clarifying that Walt takes his Scotch on the rocks). Considering Walt's predilection for adopting the food habits of those he kills, it seems like even Walt thinks that even though he didn't literally pull the trigger, he is responsible for Hank's death.

* BreakTheHaughty: Walt spends the entire episode facing a reckoning: Hank's death at the hands of Jack's crew, Jack's crew taking his money, his family abandoning him, and even his baby daughter wanting her mother over him, finally make him realize what he's become.

* GeniusBonus: Doubles as a FreezeFrameBonus: In the fire station, the firefighters are entertaining themselves by playing chess. Before the firefighters are distracted by the firetruck lights, the white king is three moves away from being checkmated in a "Greek gift"-style mate.

* HatedByAll: Walt has achieved this status by the end: Skyler thinks he killed Hank (when Walt was only indirectly responsible) and attacks him, his entire family now fears him, and he becomes the most wanted man in America, forcing him to use Saul's cleaner and go into exile. His deliberately psychotic-sounding tapped phone conversation with Skyler certainly doesn't help him either.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: When Skyler realizes Hank is dead and believes Walt killed him, instead of picking up the phone and calling the police to try to get Walt arrested, she picks up a kitchen knife and starts a fight with him, forcing Walt Jr. to get between them and giving Walt the opportunity to kidnap Holly while she recovers.
