Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Gus intensifies efforts to persuade Walt to get back in the meth business, Jesse takes exception and a rift appears in his and Walt’s personal relationship. Meanwhile, Skyler’s new relationship isn’t turning out as she’d like; and Marie tells Skyler about her concerns for the increasingly troubled Hank and his well-being.

Our Take

Gus makes the pitch of the season: “A man provides.” Three million for three months, delivered in a speech that reframes Walt’s crimes as family devotion — Gus knows exactly which button to press. Meanwhile, Hank’s investigation brings him closer than anyone has ever been: a gas mask from Walt’s school found in the desert, the RV, the Heisenberg trail. The episode is the season’s fulcrum: Walt takes the job, Jesse takes the lab, and the noose takes shape.
