'Breaking Bad' Season 5 Spoilers: IRS Investigates Skyler & Walt Eliminates Evidence In Episode 2 Of Part 2 [VIDEO]
Several spoilers from episode 2 of Breaking Bad's fifth season could be found in the show's trailer and synopsis.
These spoilers include an IRS investigation of Skyler, an unprecedented meltdown by Jesse, and Walt's attempts to eliminate anything that can help Hank in his investigation, in light of Hank's discovery that the drug kingpin Heisenberg is his brother-in-law.
In the trailer for episode 2 of part 2, titled Buried, Walt says, "Just find Jesse." With Jesse's highly depressed state in the first episode of season 5, Walt's quote could hint that his sidekick cracked under the guilt that comes with his involvement in the drug business.
Jesse is reeling from the death of his former associate Mike, who he believes Walt murdered. Jesse may have done something to worry Walt, like disappear or even threatened to talk to the police. The Examiner cited a source who revealed that in the second episode Walt will visit Jesse to inform him about Hank's discovery, and finds out his right hand man is, once again, using drugs.
In addition to Jesse, Walt seeks to address other elements of his criminal life, which Hank could potentially use against him. AMC's synopsis of episode 2, alludes to Walt covering his tracks. There is also a quote from Saul in the trailer that suggests Walt is very concerned about information someone has about him.
"It's hearsay; he said, she said," Saul says.
The quote could of derived from a conversation Walt had with the lawyer about Hank's discovery and what can be done to tie up any loose ends, including witnesses to his crime that could aid Hank's investigation.
Walt on the prowl for a missing Jesse?
An investigation involving Walter's wife Skyler could also be on the horizon. AMC's episode synopsis hints that an issue from her past, perhaps her laundering of Walt's drug money, will arise. It's uncertain what aspect of her criminal involvement will haunt her but as the synopsis declared, "Skyler's past catches up with her..."
Breaking Bad's Buried episode premieres Aug. 18 at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
