Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFollowing comments in this episode about sending DEA agent Hank "on a trip to Belize" - meaning murder him - the Belize Tourism Board actually offered free vacations to Vince Gilligan and eight of the shows's cast as PR stunt to help confirm the Central American country's image as a safe spot for tourists.
- GoofsWalt buys a lotto ticket with the coordinates of where he buried the money. However, next to the numbers on the ticket are the letters "QP", indicating a Quick Pick. If Walt played his specific numbers on the lotto ticket, it is not a Quick Pick.

As to be expected following the wham scene at the end of Blood Money there follows a number of tense exchanges of dialogue between characters. Characters like Hank, Skyler and Marie take centre stage and their scenes together are absolutely compelling. Dean Norris, Anna Gunn and Betsy Brandt do some of their best work in this episode, but are given fantastic material by the writers as always.
Walt is on top 'panicky Walt' form as he is portrayed attempting to deal with big problems. The writers lay the groundwork for what appears to be another miraculous extraction from a painted in corner via this character.
Saul makes another hilarious cameo providing legal advice and likewise Huell and Kuby. These scenes are necessary given the high amount of traumatic drama on display in other scenes.
Visually it is another fantastic example of cinematography and editing. I love the look of the pre-credit introduction, particularly Jesse on the roundabout, I also love the desert scenes, and every shot involving the character Lydia. It ends with another moment that makes you have to know what happens next. Good thing I watched it back in 2013 when it was first released as I'd be hard pressed to binge it nowadays as a father of two young children.
