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.
