Review of Fifty-One

Breaking Bad: Fifty-One (2012)
Season 5, Episode 4
Season 5 is finally getting back to the breaking bad we know and love
5 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
If you've seen this episode already, you need not read this for you already know how intense this episode is. If you haven't, then you are in for a real treat, what starts off as a slow and monotonous we've seen it before episode. Quickly turns into an emotional roller coaster, not only does this episode show the quickening mental health decline of Skyler, but it also sheds some light upon the season opener, and why Walt was in the middle of nowhere on his 52nd birthday breaking his own bacon. But it is also bringing back our favorite character from the entire show, no, not Walt, HEISENBURG! As soon as you see him put on the hat and step up to Skyler, you know what is soon to follow. I feel this is one of my favorite breaking bad episodes thus far, Walt and Jesse step up to Mike, and this ensures Walt is truly the leader of their little operation, and, it creates a huge dilemma in Walt and Skyler's marriage. Will Skyler snap out of her drama queen attitude, or will this turn into a much bigger problem, not only for their marriage, but for Walt's business? All I know is, I cant wait for next week! (Side note) Also, I could be wrong, but does anyone else believe Skyler is smoking in the house to bring Walt's cancer back quicker?
