Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Skyler’s latest bit of bad news proves to be a blow to Walt, and his loss of control endangers his job and his business relationships with Saul and Jesse. Hank goes full speed ahead into the agency’s investigation of the blue meth case, while Jesse cooks up a new plan.
Our Take
Walt’s jealousy detonates: he skips his own birthday dinner to confront Jesse, now cooking his formula solo, and the confrontation ends with Walt showing up high to teach a class and getting suspended. Gus’s response is elegant: he gives Jesse’s lab to Walt, reuniting the original team under his roof. The partnership resumes, but now it’s management’s arrangement, not theirs, and both men feel the leash.
