And what do you know, that countdown ended with Huell putting on his jacket and leaving the room. The official Breaking Bad Instagram account posted a countdown clock before the launch of El Camino. We now know that he’s not still watching cable in that room. The last time we saw Saul Goodman’s silent and intimidating guard Huell (Lavell Crawford), the DEA had stuck him in a safe room. OK, this one technically didn’t happen in El Camino, but it is connected to the movie. Old Joe’s memorable line got a reference. And like The Metamorphosis, it also likely represents his own involuntary evolution into something that seems monstrous, but is ultimately harmless - unless provoked. Jesse choosing to hold a beetle in El Camino rather than killing it is further proof that he’s not really a killer. That extends from that cockroach Jesse decided to let walk away in “Felina,” to the episode “Kafkaesque,” which is a reference to Franz Kafka’s novella about a man who awakens as a giant insect. That death was the breaking point for Jesse and what ultimately led to him trying to get out of the meth business.īugs are always important in Breaking Bad. No one, that is, except for a young boy by the name of Drew Sharp. Everything was going according to plan, and no one saw the robbery. With the help of Walt, Todd, and Mike, Jesse devised a way to steal a thousand gallons of methylamine from a moving train. “Dead Freight” saw Jesse at his most brilliant and daring. That spider once belonged to the child he heartlessly murdered. There’s a reason why El Camino kept focusing on Todd’s (Jesse Plemons) pet tarantula.

The last time we saw Lydia she was trying to get in touch with her meth-making neo-Nazi connections. That woman was almost certainly Lydia Rodarte-Quayle (Laura Fraser). While Jesse was listening to the radio, a broadcaster announced that the poisoning of a woman in Houston was connected to Walter White. THE POLICE CONNECTED LYDIA’S DEATH TO WALT Jesse’s reason for going to Alaska is finally revealed.
