In Breaking Bad season 5 episode 2 titled "Madrigal," we see the aftermath of Gus Fring's murder and the impact it has on the individuals involved. The episode starts with a German company called Madrigal Electromotive, which was connected to Gus' drug empire. One of the top executives of the company commits suicide, which leads the DEA to investigate the connections between Madrigal and Gus.
Meanwhile, Walt and Jesse are trying to distance themselves from their illegal activities. They believe that with Gus gone, they can finally take control of their own destiny. However, they soon realize that their reign may not be as easy as they thought it would be. They still need a way to distribute their product, and with no connections in the industry, they find themselves struggling.
During this episode, we also see how Skyler is handling the situation. She is under a lot of stress and pressure from both her family and the authorities. Skyler is still trying to keep her family together while keeping their illegal activities hidden from the rest of the world. However, her mental state is starting to deteriorate, and we see her struggling to keep up with the lies.
As the episode progresses, we see that the DEA is closer than ever to uncovering the truth about Gus' operation. They manage to find a connection between Madrigal and a chemical used to make methamphetamine. This puts Madrigal in the DEA's crosshairs and may lead to a full-blown investigation.
At the end of the episode, we see a mysterious figure watching Walt from a distance. It's unclear who this person is or what their intentions are, but it's clear that Walt is being watched.
Overall, Breaking Bad season 5 episode 2 is a great continuation of the story that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The episode builds on the tension and drama from the previous seasons, and it sets up the stage for what's to come. Viewers will be left wondering what will happen next and how everything will play out for Walt and his associates.
