Episode 4: 'Bullet Points'
Breaking Bad this week didn't move very far in any direction. Skylar is getting herself deeper into this operation, while it looks like Jesse has nowhere to go but out.
Bullet Point A
Mike is traveling in the back of a refrigerated Los Pollos Hermanos truck, when it gets pulled over and shot at with machine guns that poke holes in its every corner. Mike escapes with only a fraction of his ear sliced off (I am holding back on the Mike Tyson references here on purpose), yet manages to kill both of the men with one pistol. Now we all know Mike's a skilled hitman, but do we really buy this one?
Bullet Point B
Skylar writes up a whole script of "bullet points" so that she and Walter are prepared to tell Hank about the car wash they are buying. Seeing her get over-involved with the lies and the illegal action is exciting on the one hand but nerve-racking on the other.
Can we trust her? Does she have the cajones to truly join in? Or is she just another risk stacking itself onto Walt's plate?"

Dad, you're such a stud!"
The family is having dinner and a discussion about what is going on with the car wash. When Skylar tells everyone about Walt's "gambling problem," Walter junior bursts out in response saying, "Dad, you're such a stud!" Sometimes the irony around their boy just brightens up the scene.
W.W.
Hank tells Walt about the Heisenberg case, and shows him Gale's lab notes, asking Walt about the chemistry aspect. Our hearts are racing as the two leaf through the book, there is a fear that something in there could lead towards Walter's involvement. The initials W.W. are written inside, but Walter, thinking on his feet, passes them off as those of Walt Whitman, the poet. Smooth moves, Walt, but will you always be that quick on your toes?
Jesse, Jesse, Jesse
The kid has gone completely off his rocker, allowing absolute mayhem into his home, and acting like he doesn't have a care in the world. He barely reacts when his money is stolen, or when Mike is driving him way out into the middle of nowhere.
What exactly will Mike do with Jesse Pinkman? Has Gus really given Mike the go-ahead to get rid of Mr. Pinkman once and for all?
