So far so good! Not many big surprises yet, and I think we can keep it that way (even though next week's preview clip is pretty blah). Here's the episode summary:
Above is just a 5.2 promo pic, but some blogs are attaching it to the next episode. In any case, we already know that Jesse and Hank are gonna team up on Walt. The preview doesn't tell us much about that, but it does tell us something else, when Saul screams, "I never would've agreed to it if I knew what he was going to do! You gotta believe me!"
Is he finally coming clean to Jesse about Brock's poisoning? He'd better! I predicted it earlier, so I'm ready to save face/eat crow. It looks like the big moment happens in Saul's office (above), since Walt is now meeting Saul out in the desert (below, I think):
Another thing we know about 5x11 is that the Whites and the Schraders collide over dinner:
That pic is from AMC's interview with Michael Slovis. The scene was "an eight-hour marathon performance of four pages of script," so it's pretty major. I'm guessing the "unexpected demand" on the Whites is not just to pick up the check.
Another major scene might've been spoiled by BB writer Sam Catlin in his interview with Empire. They asked him a question about episode 5x12 ("Rabid Dog"). Not only does he give away a scene from that episode, he finishes (it seems) by giving away the ending to next week's "Confessions:"
But the supposed scene where Jesse tries to burn down Walt's house next week may have been described in Part 2 of the Slovis interview:
The death of a "key character" may be coming at the end of 5x12, so look for clues in 5x11.
5x11 "Confessions"; Jesse Pinkman decides to make a change, while Walter White and Skyler White try to deal with an unexpected demand.

The scene he describes from Rabid Dog was caught in a teaser clip a while back:Empire: Can you describe what was being filmed today?
Sam Catlin: Today is a showdown, or potential showdown between Walt and Jesse. Walt has called a once-and-for-all meeting in the most public, safest square in Albuquerque, which is surrounded by federal buildings and the police department, to clear the air between the two of them, and Hank thinks it's finally an opportunity to get Walt to self-incriminate himself, but Jesse believes - he's not sure how - that Walt is somehow luring him out to kill him. And we don't know, as the audience, which is true.
'So the meeting is going to happen but Jesse gets nervous and he panics, but then he has another idea, a better way to get Walt, so he breaks off the meeting, and behind his back, he calls him from a payphone and says, This is just to say goodbye, and I'm going to nail you. I'm going to do something worse than burn your house down.' Which is what he was going to do at the end of the last episode.
But the supposed scene where Jesse tries to burn down Walt's house next week may have been described in Part 2 of the Slovis interview:
Of course, that could be anyone kicking down anyone's door... right?Slovis needs to film only one more scene to complete his episode: one of the lead actors kicking down a door (you’ll have to wait ’til this summer to find out which actor, and which door). The construction crews have prepared the door and Slovis has positioned the camera low inside the room. Though I’m standing behind the camera, I’m asked to leave — they’re not sure exactly how many splinters the doorframe will break into or which way they’ll go, so it’s safer for me to be behind the monitors.
Off-camera, the actor begins grunting loudly, psyching himself up. Slovis asks if he’s ready; the actor grunts louder: He’s ready. Slovis yells “Action!” The door explodes on its hinges as wood splinters indeed fly everywhere. The actor storms into the room. The cameras cut. “There’s one for [his] action reel,” Slovis laughs.
The death of a "key character" may be coming at the end of 5x12, so look for clues in 5x11.
