Gus and Mike drive a wedge between Walt and Jesse, coercing Jesse to be their solitary cook while at the same time eliminating the Mexican cartel. Skyler accepts Walt's meth cooking and conspires with Saul to launder the earnings. Hank, in recovery, tracks Gale's death to Gus and the drug trade. Walt tricks Jesse into turning against Gus, and convinces Hector Salamanca, the last living member of the cartel, to detonate a bomb while meeting with Gus, killing them both. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Season_5_(2012–13)"><span id="Season_5_.282012.E2.80.9313.29"></span>Season 5 (2012–13)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Breaking_Bad&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Season 5 (2012–13)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Breaking_Bad_season_5" title="Breaking Bad season 5"><i>Breaking Bad</i> season 5</a></div> <p>On August 14, 2011, AMC announced that <i>Breaking Bad</i> was renewed for a fifth and final season consisting of 16 episodes.<sup id="cite_ref-final_season_41-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-final_season-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Season five is split into two parts, each consisting of 8 episodes.

For instance, Jesse's character was originally supposed to die halfway through season one in a tragic drug deal gone horribly wrong. The reasoning behind this decision was that Jesse served his purpose "in a meat-and-potatoes, logistical sense. The character would give Walt his entrée into the business" before meeting his demise. However, this was eventually done away with as the story progressed beyond Gilligan's early scripts.<sup id="cite_ref-10th-anniversary_185-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10th-anniversary-185"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>185<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The writers also opened up on their collaborative process and how their form of <a href="/wiki/Storytelling" title="Storytelling">storytelling</a> evolved with the show.

If you're going to take five seconds of screen time, you'd better damn well be sure that there's an emotion there. It may be very, very subtle, but trust the audiences to pick up on that, because audiences do.<sup id="cite_ref-10th-anniversary_185-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10th-anniversary-185"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>185<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The development of certain characters posed challenges. Skyler became unsympathetic to some viewers in earlier seasons as she was often presented as an obstacle to Walt's ultimate agenda. The writers struggled to change the dynamic and realized that "the only way people were going to like Skyler was if she started going along with what Walt was doing". It was a tricky shift to alter on screen; the writers did not want to betray her character. This led them to justify the change by using her past job as a <a href="/wiki/Bookkeeper" class="mw-redirect" title="Bookkeeper">bookkeeper</a> to segue into her helping Walt <a href="/wiki/Money_laundering" title="Money laundering">launder his money</a>. Breaking the individual episodes was another form of problem-solving for the writers. They stressed the importance of not letting the "master plan" stop them from staying true to the world they created. There came a point where tracking the characters on a moment-by-moment basis proved to be more useful rather than the general direction of the story. Gould said they would always start with the last thought in a character's head. "Where's Jesse's head at? That was always the prelude to the breakthrough moment, because when you said that, it's usually because we had gotten attached to some big plan or some big set-piece that we thought had to be there, but the characters didn't want to do what we wanted them to do."<sup id="cite_ref-10th-anniversary_185-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10th-anniversary-185"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>185<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Audience_response_to_Skyler">Audience response to Skyler</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Breaking_Bad&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Audience response to Skyler"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Particular backlash was directed towards the character of <a href="/wiki/Skyler_White" title="Skyler White">Skyler White</a>.
