Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Skyler’s increased involvement in Walt’s business causes him concern; Hank’s recovery is plagued by setbacks; and Jesse makes a surprising discovery as he gets more involved in his new enterprise.

Our Take

Jesse, grieving and lost, finds purpose in his support group and then weaponizes it, using recovering addicts to move product, exactly as Saul suggests, exactly as Walt fears. Meanwhile, Walt’s cancer scare returns as a cough and a checkup, and the show plays the season’s cruelest ambiguity: does Walt want to live? Gale’s growing presence (and Gus’s growing patience with him) signals the replacement plan everyone can see coming.
