Great episode. Awkward dinner scene was hilarious. Walt knew exactly what he was doing inviting Jesse to stay for dinner.

What if Jesse tries to teach Walt how to rollerskate this season, the something happens to Jesse... leading to Hal's fear of rollerskating?! Maybe Jesse catches a bullet as soon as Walt puts on the skates?I really would like Gilligan to jokingly fit in the whole Malcolm In The Middle angle. Just for laughs so it can be possible. Whether it's the prequel or sequel, I'd need to see where Grey Matter fits in.
Like how wild would it be if Frankie Muniz showed up on BB in the 2nd part of the season in a scene where Walt says "That's Malcolm. Hello, son."

Ricky Hitler aka Laundry aka Little Matt Damon is a sociopath. I bet money on it. Man this show is so great.
The motor bike dis-assembly scene was strangely eerie
anyone else feel the same?
A poster on Reddit made an excellent point/observation on why Walt is still selling. Not solely for power or the thrill....
Walt's speech about Grey Matter tied the entire series together, and I think that it will be a vital talking point when Walter White the character is discussed years down the line. Here's why.
In the scene with Jesse in his house, Walt basically put the final piece in a puzzle that the viewers didn't even realize the construction of. Now, for the first time since the show began, we truly know why Walt does what he does. For years, he had been embarrassed by his failure at Grey Matter, and his idiotic mistake of taking the $5000. This is something that has haunted him for his entire life (he checks Grey Matter's value weekly, apparently).
Now think back to the pilot. He and Hank watch the news report about Hank's bust. He sees piles upon piles of cash, more money than he could ever imagine making as a teacher. Now, we're made to believe that his first thought is of his family, but after tonight's episode, I think differently. I think his first thought is of his mistake at Grey Matter, and of the potential money that he could make cooking meth.
At first, of course, providing for his family was a big part of the plan. But at the end of the day, it all came back to his self-centered nature. He doesn't just want to make the $737k for Skyler and Walt Jr. For him, making the money is a way to prove that he hasn't wasted his life. He is using his chemistry skills in an incredibly profitable way.
So he keeps going. And going. And going. For a while in Season 3, he splits with Jesse, and what is it that gets him back in the business? His arrogance over Jesse cooking with his formula. At this point, it's no longer about providing for his family. It's about making money, proving to himself that he can be better than Elliott. More importantly, he's now seen Gustavo Fring. He's seen how far someone can go in the meth business. He's seen his ultimate goal.
Walter is a man who is primarily driven by jealousy and a desire to be better than others. This is prevalent in everything from his meth business to his marriage. In "Buyout", he revealed what's been driving his choices, his emotions, this whole time. His mistake at Grey Matter, and his potential loss of billions (with a "B") of dollars. I don't think Walt will be truly satisfied until he leads a meth empire that rivals Grey Matter in terms of worth. I'm planning on rewatching the series from the beginning, and I guarantee that little hints of this character aspect have been present from the beginning. Here's one you might remember, just off the top of my head.
"Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me."

Remind you of anything?
I'm surprised Walt hasn't taken some kind of revenge on them. Maybe he will before the show is over. If someone screwed me out of all that money they'd be on my hitlist.I really would like Gilligan to jokingly fit in the whole Malcolm In The Middle angle. Just for laughs so it can be possible. Whether it's the prequel or sequel, I'd need to see where Grey Matter fits in.
I was expecting Skyler to say some inappropriate stuff to Jesse to make Walt mad. The food looked good and I want to taste those green beans.The awkward dinner
There should be a lot of outtakes for that scene
Looks like Mike ends up getting his *** kicked next episode.
Jk, screenshot from ER.
Thanks bro, appreciate the blatant spoiler. Some of us don't look at pics from upcoming episodes because we want to be surprised.
Put all that **** in a spoiler next time.
