Breaking Bad Reactors Are Devastated After Watching Hank Die in 'To'hajiilee' and 'Ozymandias'

Watching Breaking Bad season 5 episodes 13 and 14 back to back left Kristen Steino in tears and needing tissues, while co host Michael Boo called it one of the most powerful death sequences the show has ever pulled off.

Going into the double header, Kristen admitted the reality of the show winding down was already hitting hard. "After this, we only have two more left and then we're completely done with Breaking Bad," she said. "It is so depressing to know we're this far."

Kristen Says Hank's Death in Ozymandias Wrecked Her

The reaction to Hank being shot in the To'hajiilee desert standoff and killed at the start of Ozymandias was the emotional peak of the watch. Kristen was so shaken she had to pause the recording. "I'm so sad right now," she said, later adding, "I really loved Hank." She admitted that if she were watching alone she would have stopped the show entirely, comparing it to how she once quit Outlander for months after a hard episode.

Michael Points Out Walter Calls Jesse Family Right Before Ordering a Hit

One of Michael's sharpest observations was catching that when Walter arranges to have Jesse killed, he refers to him as family for what Michael believes is the first time in the show. "I think this is the first time through this whole journey that Walter cares about Jesse... he cares about him as family," Michael said, framing it as Walter finally acknowledging Jesse means more than a business partner even while sending people to kill him.

Both Hosts Loved the Barrel Money Trick That Lures Walter Out

Kristen and Michael were impressed by Hank and Jesse's plan to fake Jesse's death to flush out Walter, then use the buried barrels of cash as bait. "They knew exactly what made Walter tick. All of that money," Kristen said, calling the whole misdirection sequence, including tricking Huell, genius television.

The Long-Awaited Jane Reveal Finally Lands as a Gut Punch

When Walter tells Jesse he watched Jane die and could have saved her but didn't, both hosts said they had been waiting episodes for that moment to surface. Michael called it a defining moment being used as Walter's "final F-U" to Jesse after Hank's death.

Their Verdict and Predictions Heading Into the Finale

Both hosts agreed the two episodes were the saddest of the series so far, with Michael calling Hank's death Walter's ultimate karma "because Walt loved Hank." They predicted Walter grabs the ricin from his old house to use on Jesse or himself, and both admitted they expect to end up crying again when Walter eventually dies, despite hating him.

Do you think Walter is coming back for Jesse to save him, or to finish him off for good?
