What happend to Walt's Aztek at the end of Breaking Bad season 4? - Tropical coast of endless ocean

I think one of the lesser praised characters in Breaking Bad was the Aztek walt drove the first 4 seasons. It seemed like a very purposeful bit of 'casting'.

That said, what happened to it? The final episode of Season 4 had Walt driving a small white 2-door at the end. Did I miss an important plot point involving the Aztek?



Best Answer

If you remember, Walt drove Hank to the "Industrial Laundry" that Hank had sussed out as consuming way-y-y too much energy and had these industrial air filtration systems from Germany. So he had a suspicion it was housing the meth lab - WHICH IT WAS.

Walt insinuated himself into driving him, using his Aztek to get them there, and getting more and more nervous as they approached. He pretended to be lost as they approached, missed the driveway, then passed the facility, requiring him to U-turn. He does this intentionally right into an oncoming car and BAM! totals the Aztek.

So, Hank doesn't get into the laundry because he stays with Walt, who's all-too-flustered from causing an "accident". Also, we see Hank later in a neck brace, presumably injured in the "accident"; maybe there was an ambulance at the scene (I don't remember it)?

All this happens in the episode Crawlspace, the one where Walt finds most of the money missing, because Skyler gave it to Ted to pay the IRS.

What happened at the end of season 4 Breaking Bad?

Sadly, Jesse was right; Walt did cause Brock's illness as a way to turn Jesse against Gus. But the poison wasn't caused by ricin as later confirmed \u2014it was from a Lily of the Valley plant, revealed to be in Walt's backyard in the final shot of Breaking Bad's season 4 finale.

Why does Walt burn the car season 4?

So he sticks a sheaf of burning papers, the car's papers in the gas tank, and watches the explosion from afar. Apparently, the car truly was destroyed in the explosion because it is Breaking Bad and they do not do anything that does not look real. As Cranston said, \u201cIt's Breaking Bad, so it's gonna be real."

Why was Pontiac Aztek in Breaking Bad?

The Aztek is symbolic because of Breaking Bad's setting: New Mexico (the Aztecs were ancient people of central Mexico, of which New Mexico was once a part).
