Easily sitting as one of the most disturbing sequences Vince Gilligan dared to unleash on his unassuming audience over the course of his frequently gripping depicting of Walter White gradually Breaking Bad, the sight of Kristen Ritter's Jane choking on her own vomit whilst lay on her back in her sleep as Bryan Cranston's leading figure merely watch on is about as unsettling and shocking as it gets.

But, in truth, Gilligan had been teasing this eventual development at various points in the episode leading into its dramatic realisation, with Jane noting to Jesse how he should lay on his side after injecting heroin "in case you throw up". Within that same Season 2 Phoenix entry, Walter also does something similar to his own newborn daughter, turning her on her side to prevent her from choking should she spit up in her slumber.

Both of these moments act as knowing nods towards Jane's eventual harrowing demise, but doesn't keep the beat itself from utterly shocking each and every sorry soul who takes in this unexpected end for the first time.
