I'm just going to come out and say it; Walter White is a monster. Not just Heisenberg, Walter White. We're finally to a point in the show where the lines between Walter's identity and his alter ego are blurred. Perhaps there is only Heisenberg now.
This was quite the revealing episode. Walter finally admits he wants to build an empire. With his relationships falling apart, including his partnership with Jesse, he's becoming more power-hungry. We've seen hints of this before. The guy has enjoyed doing illegal acts since the first season and has only gotten worse.
What's really insane to me is that I have no clue if he can actually get away with much of this in the end. I feel like he's completely out of his league, but at the same time, he's such a good manipulator that he just might win as well? I've not seen this show in it's entirety, but I've got a feeling something very horrible may happen to one of his loved ones and that'll likely be the only thing that could possibly bring him back to reality. I could be wrong. I'm scared and excited either way.
Jesse, on the other hand, has kept his morale despite his criminal acts. I'm scared for him. He likes Walter and Mike quite a bit, but I have a feeling he's just gonna have to book it at some point or die.
Anyway, this was a great episode. Todd seems like the kind of guy to make reckless choices that'll either get the core characters hurt or himself or both. He probably should not have been brought in to this. Lydia was absent this episode, but I don't trust her either. And now there are internationals coming from the border. I don't know how this show is going to end, but I have a feeling it's going to be a tough watch.
Highlights for me were.. -Walter breaking out of the cuffs -The awkward family dinner -Saul Goodman saying "sorry" to Mike after calling him a senior citizen lol
Excellent episode with some excellent writing and performances as usual at this point!
