Warning: Spoilers
Walter is such a wonderful character. When his brother in law uses his silly poker analogy, it's really not far from the truth. A man who has been disappointed in himself from the first day is now facing the end of his life. His family, who disagree that the decision should be his, hold an intervention (the kind usually used for addicts). It is an uncomfortable session, and he finally admits how unhappy he is and he never has choices. A friend who has incredible wealth offers to pay for his treatment, but his pride won't let him accept. On the other front, Jesse is back trying to cook but is having no success. He is egged on by a loser friend who has a peanut brain. This is after Jesse has tried to find legitimate work. He wants to quit. Well, we can all guess what is coming because there are things to be paid. A very good episode with awesome acting.
