During the penultimate episode of Better Call Saul, viewers finally find out more about the unsolved mysteries of Breaking Bad. Longtime viewers have learned more about Jesse’s attempt to disappear and start a new life in Alaska.
Warning: Spoilers to break evil, the Camino, and Saul’s better life
Last week’s episode took fans back in time to the era of Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are temporarily back for their famous roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Meth chefs meet Sol Goodman, a shady attorney, for the first time in a prequel.
The intersection of the best Call Saul with Breaking Bad Drop a lot of bombs and a lot of revelations at once. Shocked viewers finally find out what happened to beloved character Jesse and his whereabouts.
What happened to Jesse in Breaking Bad?
The latest episodes of Breaking Bad haven’t looked so bright for Jesse, who is trapped and housed in a compound that has been turned into a cooking camp.
Later Walter saves him, kills the criminals and keeps his friend against his will, sacrificing his life because he doesn’t have long to live since lung cancer has returned. Jesse is then forced to drive away to freedom by jumping to El Camino. He also sheds tears of joy and sadness after coming out of this horrific ordeal.
As someone wanted by the authorities, Jesse runs into his friends Skinny Pete and Badger, people he can trust. He was able to hide until he knew what to do and somehow found a new way to return to his life.
It was never known what happened when he escaped from unofficial prison, and El Camino was considered a movie with uncertainty about what Jesse was going to have in store. He created more interest – but also more questions – in what happens to his character.
Viewers were left to interpret Jesse’s ending with their own imagination.
Jesse and “Camino” him to better summon Saul
Seven years later, fans can finally rest in peace as the final answers to what happened to Jesse Pinkman after Walter’s death are revealed.
The only thing fans knew was that he survived the compound stage and arrived in Alaska as a free man. He was ready to start over as in a new beginning. This was with the help of Ed, who was pushed by Jesse to smuggle him there.
After years of torture and slavery, Jesse has found a better life and a new beginning at El Camino. The ending of the film becomes a very salient point in Jesse’s character and his path to freedom.
But fans did not know whether it was successful or not, and whether he was really able to disappear into a new life.
Jesse’s fight for a new life
Now, thanks to Better Call Saul, we finally get an answer. During episode 11, which was titled “Breaking Bad,” Jane makes a surprise call with Francesca, his former secretary. It’s been a while since Breaking Bad and El Camino are on this timeline, so she’s updating Gene on his ex-partners and friends.
We learned that a Skinny Pete car was found “below the border,” which Badger drove to dump people on El Camino, Variety wrote. As far as we know, Jesse is still living his new peaceful life in Alaska after escaping the compound. “Skylar White got her deal, so the only one left is you and Pinkman,” Francesca tells Jane.
So it looks like he’s making his new start because he’s still not on the radar.
Fans react to Jesse’s ‘deserved’ ending
Only with an episode left to finish the sixth season of the Breaking Bad sequel, had viewers of the show already claim Walt and Jesse’s appearance on the show as “the best episode ever”.
It was only natural that fans would comment on the episode due to the shocking guest appearance that fans were already hoping for. Although the scene wasn’t long enough for some, many were happy to be back in 2008 to relive the trio’s first encounter.
