'Breaking Bad' recap: Episode 2, 'Madrigal'

A show as meticulous and thought-out as "Breaking Bad" will always tie up loose ends. The second episode of the final season, "Madrigal," proved creator Vince Gilligan (who wrote this episode) will continue in this tradition, as the hyper-dreadful series explained certain plot turns thoroughly, such as how Walter White executed his plan to poison young Brock and why a secondary but essential character such as hit-man Mike must stay in the picture.
