History Recap / BreakingBadS5E11Confessions

* KickTheDog: Walter is willing tk ruin the life and reputation of his brother-in-law if it keeps him out of jail.

-->'''Hank''': Oh, Christ, Marie... You killed me here. I mean, it's the- that's the last nail. That's the last nail in the coffin.

* SpottingTheThread: Marie tries to write off Walt's "confession tape" as being entirely filled with lies... but then Hank takes notice of his mentioning of using $177,000 to pay for Hank's medical bills...

* RefugeInAudacity: Walt's "confession". Accusing the head of the Albuquerque DEA of running a meth empire behind the scenes 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.

** Also, Hank's confession tape, to the one he started making back in [[Recap/BreakingBadS1E1Pilot the pilot]].

Walt and Skyler meet with the Schraders at a Mexican restaurant, where tempers flare between them over Walt's drug business. Walt tries to explain that he is no longer involved in the drug trade, and that there was nothing to gain from trying to prosecute him. Hank, however, is determined to see Walt behind bars; he's not going to let Walt's cancer claim him before he can face justice.

With both parties at an impasse, Walt leaves a DVD containing his confession with Hank. When Hank and Marie play it at home, however, to their horror, the "confession" is a ploy: while Walt confesses to cooking meth, he claims that Hank was the real "Heisenberg", having forced Walt into cooking meth for him, working with Gus Fring and threatening his family, then conspiring with Hector Salamanca to kill Gus with a bomb. The only trues statements in the confession was Gus's putting a hit out on Hank, and Walt using his drug money to pay for his medical expenses.

* AscendedMeme: For the first time Hank says "Jesus Christ, Marie." verbatim.

* WhamLine: The moment Hank and Marie realize what Walt's "confession tape" ''really'' is?

...or so he thinks. Saul has Huell drop Jesse off on a roadside to meet with the "cleaner" to take him away. As the cleaner's car arrives to take Jesse away, Jesse realizes that Huell had swapped his pack of cigarettes with one of a different brand. It then dawns on Jesse that Huell had taken his ricin cigarette as well, likely by Walt instructing Saul to do so...and based off of that, it was Walt that poisoned Brock!

* SpotTheThread: Marie tries to write off Walt's "confession tape" as being entirely filled with lies... but then Hank takes notice of his mentioning of using $177,000 to pay for Hank's medical bills...

* BerserkButton: When Jesse realizes he was right about Huell taking the ricin-laced cigarrette and Walt did poison Brock he flies off the handle.

* CallBack: As Jesse is dousing Walt's house with gasoline in the last scene, the scene ends with him stopping in one particular spot to jump gasoline on it. This is pretty much the exact same spot where he had Walt on the ground at gun point in "[[Recap/BreakingBadS4E12EndTimes End Times]]".
