BREAKING BAD 5.4 Recap

Breaking Bad opened this week with the fabulous and newly fortified Prius returning to Walt, along with his increddible headwear. The return of Heisenberg's hat prompted a lot of rash behavior this week. For example, when Walt got his run-over-a-witness-mobile fixed for free he went around and sold it to the mechanic for $50! Afterall, the only reason Walt got the damn thing fixed anyway was so he could look at his awesome hat in the driver's side mirror. In Walt fashion, he peaces without the shitty green Prius and returns to the house in his baller hat and in some baller wheels. Then there's this whole bit with his son and he gets him a sexy ride with racing stripes and there's some dubstep and lots of whip pans and then... the useless one returns home, in her totally un-pimped car. Obviously she's pissed, because this isn't the first time Walt went money happy and bought his kid a car, no that one he wrecked. Skyler is really upset because she's jealous that she hasn't lost the baby weight yet and is driving around in a wood paneled wagon. That night, Skyler does her typical, turn away in bed from my evil husband thing and Walt gropes at her shoulder and tells her that everything is all good in da hood, cuz Herr Heisenberg is in da house fo' sho'. Or something like that. Anyway, the next morning it's Walt 51st birthday and we learn more about this silly turning bacon into numbers nonesense from the season opener. I'm sensing some predictions are going to be made by the end of this post! FOLLOW THE JUMP! Meanwhile, in another, more interesting storyline, Lydia, that crazy bitch from the Mike episode got her methylmine guy nabbed by Hank and the other DEA. So Mike sends his main man Jesse over to Madrigal to pick up the meth juice. When Lydia tells Jesse to retrieve a specific barrel she deleted from the system, he picks it up with a forklift and she spots what looks like a bug on the bottom. She freaks out, sends Jesse back to Mike without any juice and Mike, in Mike fashion, wants to off her because he suspects she's trying to weasel her way out. Jesse, being the new voice of reason on the show, objects and Walt says to hold off because he needs the meth to continue lining his pockets. Back at Walt's birthday party, Skyler is totally spacing out and everyone thinks it's because she's feeling guilty about having an affair with Ted, but we really know it's about putting Ted in a head brace and losing her husband to the meth bizz - boring! So she does a little trick as Walt is telling everything how thankful he is he survived his cancer bout and walks into the pool, which gives us this wonderful screengrab of Skyler underwater. This stunt prompts Hank and Marie to take the kids while Walt and Skyler work it out. This was her master plan all along, act crazy so the kids could be out of danger. Walt challenges Skyler, mentally and legally and she of course, shrivels in the corner. So now onto the predictions, we know that the curly mop on Malcolm's Dad's head took a year to grow, and we can also infer that one year from now he will be separated from Skyler and the kids. Maybe she gets her wish takes them away from him and now he's on the run alone? Jesse found out something about the poisoning the kid thing and they're not together anymore and the guns are to kill Mike? I don't know, there's something in there. Oh well, here's a GIF of Skyler, doing what she does best, blowing smoke.
