Bullet Points

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The Cartel makes a power move; Skyler and Walt reveal something embarrassing to the family; and Jesse’s misdeeds bring some unwanted attention.

Our Take

Skyler choreographs the gambling story — a full backstory for the family, rehearsed in the living room like a play, and the performance scenes are dark-comedy gold: Walt’s overacting, Skyler’s stage directions, Hank’s forensic questions. The real threat arrives sideways: Hank, homebound and restless, asks Walt to drive him to Gale’s apartment, where he’s assembling a theory about a mysterious chemist. Walt, standing in the dead man’s kitchen, hears the noose tighten.
