    Storyline

    Edit
    The car wash is now in operation but Skyler isn't prepared for the amount of money Walt is bringing in. She also arranges for Walt to return the car he bought Walt Jr. but in the end decides he has other plans for it. Walt still believes his life is in danger as long as Gus is alive and speaks to Saul about how he wants to hire a hit man. He finds someone closer to home. Hank and Walter Jr. visit Gus Fring's chicken restaurant and Hank has something very specific in mind. He's slowly putting the facts together in his quest for Heisenberg. Facing a series of conflicting emotions, Jesse goes back to his group counseling session. —garykmcd

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Jesse is playing Rage (the on-rails shooter) at the beginning, there is an Easter egg on the wall when he is going down the stairs as pointed out on the commentary. Looking closely, the graffiti spells out "Gale".
    • Goofs
      When the Challenger is in the ditch there is one exhaust pipe that indicates it's a V6 model, and later at Pollos Hermanos, Walt White Jr. tells Hank that the Challenger was a V8. Without the R/T badge in the front grill, and with only one pipe, it was definitely the V6 model with SRT8 stripes on the hood.
    • Quotes

      Group Leader: We're not here to sit in judgement.

      Jesse Pinkman: Why not? Why not? Maybe she's right. You know, maybe I should have put it in the paper. I should've done something different. The thing is, if you just do stuff and nothing happens... what's it all mean? What's the point? Oh, right, this whole thing is about self-acceptance.

      Group Leader: Kicking the hell out of yourself doesn't give meaning to anything.

      Jesse Pinkman: So, I should stop "judging" and accept? So, no matter what I do, hooray for me, because I'm a great guy. It's all good. No matter how many dogs I kill, I just, what, do an inventory and accept? I mean, you back your truck over your own kid and you, like, accept? What a load of crap!

      Group Leader: Hey, Jesse, I know you're in pain...

      Jesse Pinkman: No, you know what? Why I'm here in the first place... is to sell you meth. You're nothing to me but customers! I made you my bitch! You okay with that? huh? You accept?

      Group Leader: No.

      Jesse Pinkman: About time.

    Incredible buildup episode
    Amazing episode, with a ton of tension and plot points building up. The performance by Aaron Paul at his NA meeting was absolutely incredible; and hats off to the writers of that scene. I'm rewatching the show, and that was probably my favorite scene up to this point. Incredible show that is certainly worth the rewatch.
