History Recap / BreakingBadS5E11Confessions

** Walt's "confession". Accusing the head of the Albuquerque DEA of running a meth empire behind the scenes for the sole purpose of blackmailing him is bold and outlandish, but Walt manages to concoct a story that would at least sound plausible to an outside observer, aided by several facts such as Hank unknowingly using Walt's drug money to pay his own medical bills.

* OhCrap: Hank and Marie get a double dose of this: first when they find out Walt's "confession" video is a ruse to destroy Hank's credibility, and second when they both realize that Walt's drug money paid for Hank's hospital bills and physical therapy/rehab.

** Huell's [[spoiler:pick-pocketing strategy]], with the 400-pound man standing in the doorway as Jesse leaves so they're forced to make contact.

* ForWantOfANail: Huell taking Jesse's weed because of the vacuum salesman's rules causes Jesse to cancel his plans to flee so he can get revenge for an otherwise resolved conflict.

** Saul orders Huell to pocket Jesse's stash so that he doesn't show up to the meeting with the identity eraser while high. In the process, Jesse realizes that Huell pocketed the ricin cigarette earlier and that Saul was in on the plan to poison Brock.

* RageBreakingPoint: Upon realizing Huell had taken the ricin cigarette off of him, Jesse doubles back to Saul's office, and ''beats the shit out of him''. And once he gets confirmation that Huell did swipe off the ricin cigarette and Walt used that to make him think Gus poisoned Brock, Jesse makes a beeline over to Walt's house... [[KillItWithFire and begins to douse it in gasoline]].

* ShoutOut: Jack compares the story of the train heist to the movie ''Film/{{Hooper}}'', only for Kenny to remind him that the scene in that movie involved a helicopter, not a train.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Jesse is correct that Huell lifted the ricin cigarette off of him, but he's incorrect in thinking that Saul was aware of Walt's plan; in fact, Saul had no idea what was going to happen and was disgusted when he learned about it.
