When Walter used the coffee maker's power cord to burn through the tie-wrap holding his wrist to the radiator, the spike in amperage would have easily tripped the breaker on either the surge protector the power cord was plugged into or the breaker at the main electrical panel. He could not have used the stripped wires as an improvised arc welder to cut his bonds. See more »Soundtracks

After a nerve-wrecking episode, Breaking Bad returns with yet another powerful affair. The writers of Breaking Bad are truly setting a new benchmark in storyboarding.
This episode opens with a scene in which emotions are running high as Mike, Walter and Todd send that poor kid and his dirt-bike (from the previous episode) to a barrel of hydrofluoric acid. Jesse refrains from taking part in the act and is visibly shaken from what is going on around him.
In my opinion, Todd is an imminent danger to the trio and might eventually lead to the downfall of the group. He is careless and acts on the spur of the moment, plus he also knows "a little too much".
Meanwhile, Mike is having some attention that he doesn't approve of and he once again shows how astute he is.
As the episode progresses, tensions between the "meth group" escalate and a seemingly innocuous sequence of Walt whistling a tune proves to be a catalyst for a chain reaction that threatens the very foundation of the group.
The "Hyde" in Walter, Hisenberg, makes another appearance in this season as Walt claims that he is not running a business but an "empire", an empire of which he has no intention of letting go in the near future. Walt further states that he won't be giving up his future this time around, after what happened with "Grey Matter", a company that he had founded. This company has grown to be worth 2.16 billion (not 2.6 billion as another reviewer incorrectly mentions) from a few thousands and Walt rues the selling of his share of the company. It is also implied here that Walt might even buy this company when he has enough cash ("I look it (the company's value) up every week").
This leads up to probably the funniest scene of this season. Skyler makes an early return to find Walt and Jesse conversing at her home. She is taken aback but succumbs to Walt's steely gaze and allows Jesse to stay over for dinner. Jesse is very uncomfortable at the dinner table and tries to start a conversation quite a few times but to no avail. He makes all sorts of hilarious facial contortions that cracked me up despite the irony-heavy atmosphere.
The episode then ends on a cliff-hanger as Walt is in dire straits, with a pistol held against his head, trying to save his business, his "empire", which is standing on the brink of falling apart.
I seriously can't wait for next week.
