Breaking Bad series finale recap: Did Jesse Pinkman die?

Sadly, Breaking Bad came to an end on Sunday night with the series finale that left us all finding closure and having the best ending to the show that we could have asked for. Blood was shed, goodbyes were shared and perhaps the one character that everyone was hoping would live was able to go on his way with his first taste of freedom in some time.

Was Jesse Pinkman the lucky character?

Walter White was ready for what seemed like a suicide mission when he went in to visit Todd’s crazy Uncle Jack with no back up. After asking to see Jesse, Frank obliged and the two men came face to face.

In order to save Jesse after seeing the suffering that he was experiencing, Walt tackled Jesse to the ground as he activated the automatic gun turret in his car that took the lives of Jack’s men. Walt delivered the final bullet to Jack, while Jesse was able to get revenge against Todd for taking the life of the young boy in the desert and Andrea.

Jesse choked Todd with his chains before snapping his neck and getting the ultimate satisfaction.

It was then that Jesse had his final showdown with Walt.

Mr. White slid the gun to Jesse and asked him to take his life, but Jesse put the gun down and walked away to freedom before driving off in to the sunset and leaving Walt to die on his own.

Finally, something good happened to Jesse.

The Breaking Bad series finale was as good as it gets and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the show. Let us know your thoughts on the ending in the comments section below.
