Lucky Hank, starring Bob Odenkirk, premieres March 19 on AMC.

Season Two - Episode Five: "Breakage"

Episode Description:
Tensions and bills mount at the White household. Hank makes progress at work, but suffers from the aftermath of his encounter with Tuco. Jesse takes charge and assembles a crew of dealers to get their product out on the streets.

Episode Overview:
As mounting medical bills and domestic turmoil have Walt scrambling to find a solution to his problems, Hank’s heroism in the shootout with Tuco lands him a promotion at the DEA. And while Hank makes a point of putting on a good show at work, underneath it all he is scared to death of another potentially fatal confrontation. Meanwhile, Jesse looks to put his own house in order, first by negotiating a deal with Clovis to store the mobile meth lab and then by persuading a skeptical landlord to agree to rent him a duplex even though he doesn’t have a job. And though he agrees to rejoin Walt in their partnership, this time Jesse insists that they do it his way, with Jesse running the business end and Walt handling the chemistry.

Now that Walt is cooking up as much meth as their lab can handle, Jesse reunites three of his old business partners – Badger, Skinny Pete and Combo – for his street sales force. After laying down a strict set of rules that govern the business, Jesse sets his team loose on Albuquerque with spectacular results – at least until Skinny Pete is robbed by a pair of addicts. Meanwhile, at a family party to celebrate Hank’s promotion, Skyler demands that Marie apologize for having shoplifted her baby shower gift.

While Marie is already looking ahead to a promotion that will take them away from the dangers of the Mexican border to the glamour of Washington , D.C., Hank continues struggling with the demons that have been haunting him since his run in with Tuco. At a desert meeting to divide up their profits, Walt makes it clear that he isn’t happy at being forced to share the loss of the drugs that were stolen from Skinny Pete. Over Jesse’s objections, Walt suggests that he handle the situation in the same way Tuco would have – by making the thieves pay with their lives. Emboldened by the confrontation, Walt heads home to confront Skyler about her recent behavior, especially the evidence that she’s been smoking while pregnant. But after getting no satisfaction from his showdown with Skyler, Walt heads back to give Jesse a gun and to angrily order him to use it.

    Her “I can fix him” bar is off the charts

    What a nice couple of young people. Hope their relationship will grow and bring them a lot of happiness.
  • @ReinEngel
    Jeese looks like the most dishonorable, greasy person out of everyone... but he's the most loyal, honest and kind.
  • Jesse’s face when she tells him she lives next door is priceless 😂
  • @Homelander685
    Now Jesse has a private domicile and won't be harassed.
  • @UrtepExela
    Seems like a sweet girl, hopefully nothing bad happens to her.
  • @Dogyphil
    This is the exact moment that Jane negotiated Jesse's rent
  • @bakeryssoul
    You could see the sympathy in her eyes after he told her that he was kicked out by his parents
  • @philippaul6039
    2:28 Jesse's reaction face to her, "I live next door" was perfect XD Every guy watching this knew what Jesse was thinking in that moment lol
  • @capy2026
    I love how this scene foreshadows the moment Walt tells Jesse "I watched Jane raise the rent". This truly is one of the most amazing shows ever made.

    Bad news : Jane died Good news : It brought Ehrmantraut into our lives.

    Of all the tragedy in this series, Jane's death was the pinnacle. Jesse truly loved her, beyond the addiction and the rose colored glasses that came with it. Andrea's death broke him (let's be honest, that broke all of us), but Jane was still somewhere in there....when Walt told him he let Jane die, watched her and didn't try to save her....the look on his face said everything.
  • @TheArtofGuitar
    They really should have included at least one Jane's Addiction song in season 2. ;)
  • Every single character in this show plays such a necessary role in the transformation of the main characters and pushes the plot forward. Jesse had some real happiness with Jane. It only pushed him deeper into anger and the drug trade once she died. This is the most well written show I have ever seen.
  • @MontyQueues
    Jane sees herself in Jesse and feels the same pain of feeling like a disappointment.
  • Jane was such a perfect match for Jesse, that it was really heartbreaking in the end. Tragedy.
  • @davidwalker9594
    Janes death scarred me. Probably one of the most horrific scenes I've seen on TV.. especially when Mr White was watching her death go down. It was brutal.
