BREAKING BAD 5.2 Recap

So the fabulous Breaking Bad is back and badder than ever! Episode 2 opens with a sad looking German dude sampling tater tot dipping sauces - I don't know about him, but if that was my job I'd put a fucking smile on my face. Anyway, we discover that this man, is some super important business owner guy who, guess what? Owns Pollos Hermanos. The DEA were able to trace the whole big meth operation back to this tater tot eating German guy using the scribble scratch on the picture frame from episode 1 and they want answers! Too bad Herr Tator Tot decides to off himself by grabbing the nearest unattended defibrillator and giving himself the big deep fry. And then we're back with our heroes, Jesse left Walt a frantic desperate girlfriend voicemail saying that he's been going cray-cray looking for the missing ricin cigarette. We see Walt trading out Jesse's ricin cig for a salt cig and then stashing the ricin away for safe keeping, and most likely, a future murder. Walt goes to Jesse's house, promising that they will find it together, which prompts a great search montage. Jesse finds the ricin in his Roomba and all is well again, except for the fact that Jesse thinks he's going crazy and Walt is turning more and more deceptive (and sexy.) Follow Mike and Kaylee for more RECAP! Walt and Jesse call up their bestie, Mike and offer him a three-way... partnership since they're all broke now and there's no more big meth boss in the area. Mike kindly declines and goes on with his day of meeting with an overly skittish tea nazi at the local diner. She gives Mike a list of the people on Gus' payroll and dances around asking him to kill all of them to save her own ass. Mike kindly declines and then pays for her tea like a suave gentleman, and then leaves. Mike then meets up with Hank for some questioning. The cops know who was on Gus' payroll and have seized all their assets. Except for Mike, since he's super smart and I guess was an ex-cop, he stashed his money in his granddaughter's bank account. Mike again, kindly, declines the cops' offer of a deal and ask for the cuffs if he's under arrest, but he's not, and he knows it, and so he leaves, Mike out! The laundromat - aka the Methomat - manager calls up Mike (lots of people are pestering Mike this episode) and says the DEA took all his money and that they need to meet. Mike goes over to his place to rap for a sec but smells something fishy so he pulls out his glock and his silencer and sneaks up on an assassin, who's already killed the methomat manager. Mike gets the intel that the tea nazi bitch put a hit out on Mike for 30K and everyone else on the payroll for 10K. Flattered that his bounty is the highest but not wanting to die, Mike shoots the assassin and peaces. Mike finds the tea nazi bitch and holds her up at her swanky ass apartment. After letting her snivel for a hot minute Mike aims for the kill shot and then decides to not kill the tea nazi, but spare her her life if she supplies him with methylamine, the one ingrediant Walt and Jesse are missing for their start up meth business. And so Mike calls up Walt and agrees to go tres hermanos with him and Jesse and there you have the set up for season 5! ADDENDUM: Walt goes to bed, where Skylar has been lying and crying for the entire episode and tells her that there's no better reason to manufacture and distribute meth than family. INDEED! Side Note: Can someone please shoot this bitch in the face already? Why is she even on this show anymore?
