Life's good for Walter White. So much so that he treats himself and his son, Walter Jr., to brand new cars on the eve of his 51st birthday. Oh, if it wasn't for his pesky wife. Skyler realises that she's stuck in this awful situation with Walt, but now she's worked up the courage to tell Walt she doesn't want her children in the same environment. Being the man he is, Walt ensures Skyler his they're safe from danger, but as Skyler cleverly recalls, isn't Walt the danger?
Let's just say I think Skyler has been taking lessons from Walt in trying to get what she wants, and she decides to pull a cool pool party trick at Walt's birthday, that involves walking into the pool fully clothed and remaining underwater until your husband has to jump into the pool to stop you from drowning. Hank and Marie are understandably concerned, and while they don't think Skyler was actually trying to kill herself, they agree that she wanted there attention and that she needs help. Marie suggests taking Walter Jr. and Holly for a while so that Walt and Skyler can have their space, and Marie tells Walt it was Skyler's idea.
So Skyler's plan works, but Walt's certainly not happy about it. Skyler wants her children safe and away from Walt, but he wants his family, after all, hasn't everything he done been for that? So there's no way he's going to let Skyler keep them away. He asks her what her next move is, she says she'll hurt herself, he's says he'll get her committed, she's says she tell everyone he beats her because of her affair. Being the chess master that he is he knows Skyler has no more moves, bringing Ted into the game would lead to a police investigation, and neither of them want that. Skyler admits she's powerless against him, and I must say I love her all the more for it. She tells him she'll just bide her time until his cancer returns. So while Skyler plays the waiting game, it'll be interesting to see what move Walt will make against her next.
At the Houston office of Madrigal Electromotive Lydia receives a tip-off call from Mike and seconds later the DEA arrive to question. She leads them to Ron Forenall who is arrested. Lydia calls Mike to tell him that the methylamine transport will be cut off due to Ron's arrest. Mike informs he'll send someone else, Jesse. Later he arrives to retrieve a barrel of methylamine from a hesitant Lydia. While lowering the barrel Lydia finds a GPS device attached to the barrel. Mike calls Walt in and Jesse tells Mike about the GPS device. Mike believes it was Lydia, attempting to get out of their business and prepares to leave to kill her but Jesse stops him and makes a vote of it. Walt tells them that the cooks must not stop under any circumstances.
After the meeting, Jesse gives Walt a nice looking watch as a birthday present, what a nice guy, and the receipt too, what an even nicer guy. Walt returns home and shows it to Skyler, telling her that Jesse wanted to kill him recently, but that now he's buying him watches. Walt tells Skyler he changed his mind about him, and that she will too. And as with all things Walt says now, what is meant as a reassurance has a threat cleverly disguised underneath.
Rating: 3.5/5
