Storyline

Jesse and Walt clean up the mess caused by Jesse's chosen method to get rid of Emilio's body. Walt still has has the dilemma of what to do with Krazy 8 who is still chained in the basement and seemingly getting better. He draws up a list of the pros and cons of killing him but actually ends up developing a rapport with him and tells him of his lung cancer. He soon realizes exactly what Krazy 8 is up to. Jess is smoking more meth than he's selling. Walt's wife Skyler is concerned that his admitted marijuana use is the cause of his recent personality change. She broaches the subject with her sister who jumps to the conclusion that it's Walt Jr. who is on grass and she gets her husband Hank, a DEA agent, to have a chat with the young man.

A matter of trust
30 September 2012 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

After Jesse's messy attempt to dispose of Emilio's body he and Walter clean up what is left. Walt then goes down to the basement and starts talking to Krazy-8; it soon becomes apparent that Jesse had told him everything about Walt; Krazy-8 senses Walt's obvious annoyance so takes the opportunity to try to drive a wedge between his two captors. It doesn't take long before Walt is running upstairs to see what Jesse is up to. It turns out he is smoking the drugs they had made. Walt tries to destroy what is left but Jesse runs off with them leaving Walt alone in the house with Krazy-8. As Walt takes a plate of food down to the basement he collapses shattering the plate; when he comes to they get talking and the more Walt gets to know him the harder it gets for him to contemplate killing him. Eventually Walt realises that he can't do it and decides to let him go... then he realises a piece of the broken plate is missing.

Back at the family home Skyler talks to her sister about marijuana, she mistakenly assumes Skyler believes her son is smoking it and despite being told to forget the conversation gets her husband Hank to give Walt Jnr. a lesson on the dangers of drugs.

This was another fine episode; I loved the scenes between Walt and Krazy-8... I couldn't help thinking of the fable of the scorpion and the frog as Krazy-8 gently gained Walt's trust and almost gained his freedom; he just couldn't help his nature though and kept a splinter of the plate to attack Walt with and thus doomed himself. Actors Bryan Cranston and Max Arciniega were on top form there. As well as dealing with the immediate problems of Krazy-8 and Emilio this episode nicely hinted at problems to come as Hank and his fellow DEA agents discover Krazy-8's car in the desert and after finding a sample of Walt's work they realise there is a new chemist on the scene... nobody locally makes it that good.
