The tile refers to the amount of money that Walt figures he needs to make selling Meth for his family to live on comfortably after he is gone. This is going to be one long crazy dangerous ride getting to that number. This episode literally picks up where the Season Finale of Season 1 left off at. The entire episode is basically about paranoia in thinking that Tuco will have both Walt and Jesse whacked because they are loose ends...witnesses' to Tuco killing one of his own men. The episode ends on a cliffhanger as Tuco takes both of them hostage and drive off in the middle of the night......

Great episode and there was one stand out scene involving Skyler tearing Hank and new  a s s h o l e . She was great.

I consistently hear good stuff about this show.

I was wondering how Walt was going to explain away where he had been for the last couple of days without giving away that he was held hostage by a psychotic, deranged lunatic. Pretty clever 'out' that he came up with in creating an alibi by having be "discovered" wandering a supermarket naked. Also pretty clever in how Jesse created his own alibi too. I thought Walt had managed to fool everyone and was in the clear. Totally forgot about the 2nd Cell phone and when Skylar brings it up at the end....BUSTED.

One thing that I really dig about this show, besides the awesome writing and characters, is that each episode literally picks up where the last episode left off at and it makes sense if you think about what Walt is going through. He only has some much time left on this Earth because of his illness, so it makes sense that we are tracking every single moment leading up to the inevitable end.

This one is basically a  p i s s i n g  contest between Walt and Jesse over who is going to run the business now. Each has their ideas of how things should run, but in the end it's Jesse that assumes control of their little endeavor. I know this is just a fictional show, and these are characters that the writers have created for my amusement, but there is no way in hell I would make a claim of how to run a business and then turn around and entrust the success of said business to 3 meth heads. Really? You're going to give 3 junkies all that meth and trust them not to smoke it up among themselves? Of course one of them gets rolled by a client which means he is out of both the money and the product. But Jesse has it in his head that this is 'breakage', acceptable losses. Not to Walt, which leads him to finally stepping in and making sure that Jesse makes an example out of the junkie or it will be open season on both Jesse and Walt to steal from.......I wonder what Jesse will do in the next episode, if he will in fact make an example of him.

I'm digging the secondary story-line involving Hank. Not really sure what he has feel guilty about. It was a clean kill when he put down Tuco. But for whatever reason, he is haunting him. Haunting him enough that he was to throw away Tuco's trophy (Grills-encased-plastic-cube) that the DEA Force gave to him as a gift.

Very cool to see Krysten Ritter joining the cast here. She obviously has since moved onto her own show Don't Trust The B **** In Apt. 23, so I can only guess what gruesome end she meets on Breaking Bad...........

The Walt / Jesse enterprise is now expanding, based on misinformation. Everyone around town now fears Jesse since they all "heard" that he crushed a man's skull with an ATM Machine for trying to steal from him. With Walt selling the idea to Jesse to take on the persona of "The Blowfish", he gets him to agree to get his slingers to start expanding themselves to hire foot soldiers. The City is theirs for the taking.

Not sure what to make of Hank's storyline. He is now working at his new promotion job and his first order of business is to deal with Tortuga (Danny Trejo) who is an informant for the DEA. Seeing his name attached to the show, I figured it would be a nice run for him. That didn't last long given the fact that somebody hacked his head off, stuck it on a turtle and released it out in the desert, only to have it blow up, taking out a handful of DEA agents. Totally caught me off guard.

In other news, Jesse for whatever reason has got game. Looks like they are creating something for him and Jane (Krysten Ritter). FYI, great opening to the episode with the Mariachi Band.

This episode was awesome and totally FUBAR. Pretty much the entire episode takes place in and around the RV / Meth Lab with Walt and Jesse out in the middle of the desert to cook for 4 days non-stop because Walt, based on wrong information is convinced that he will be dying soon. So, with both of them out there to cook, it's all down hill from there when their RV battery goes kaput with no way to get back home and no one to know where they are. It doesn't help matters when the cell phone meets the same fate. Intense and yet very funny episode with some great moments. I thought it was hilarious that after Jesse gives Walt a pep talk to create something to get them back home that Jesse literally thinks Walt is going to build a Robot. Hahahahahaha.

As soon as I saw Combo slinging on the corner I knew he wasn't going to even make it to the opening credits. I also knew that the kid on the bike was going to take him out. What's unclear is if he was dealt with because they were on someone else's turf of if this was nothing more than a gang initiation for the kid. I dunno. Jesse is scum. He has a hot girlfriend (Jane) that is into him and all he can do is think of himself and put her at risk to get high, who has been on the wagon for 16 months. I mentioned earlier that I could see her going out in a bad way. Now I'm convinced it will be an OD.

The ending was intense and shows just how crazy people can get when drugs and money are involved, especially when you have a million payout coming within the hour. All Walt has to do is get to the drop sight, unload his product and he will be sitting pretty financially. One little hiccup though. Skyler has gone into labor. This should make the next episode fun to watch.
