Breaking Bad - Bit by a Dead Bee
9 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Jesse's car was at the crime scene where Hank killed Tuco in a gunfight. Jesse's sought after by the cops for his potential dealings with Tuco, the drug dealer. After hiking it across hot desert, hitching a ride in a truck, Walt is soon found in a grocery store…naked. Walt is hospitalized and plays up having a physiological "incident" to his cancer doctor and nursing staff. Jesse, in the mean time, removes the meth cooking items and drugs (back in the Winnebago, having a guy tow it to a safe location) and is soon arrested in a motel room with hooker/addict, Wendy, by Hank and the DEA. Walt will need to be tested and go through therapy in order to analyze and determine what caused his "fugue state". Walt tells a "medical practitioner" (a psychologist with the pen and notepad) about simply wanting to 'get out of the damn house' and walk as far as he could, explaining that with all the accumulating troubles (his son with cerebral palsy, his cancer, an unplanned pregnancy) he felt he needed to escape for a while. Tio, and the bell, return, with Hank hoping he'll implicate Jesse. But Tio hates cops so this little idea doesn't go according to plan! Tio gives the DEA an answer regarding Jesse…he passes gas in the interrogation room! Stroke or no stroke, Tio isn't about to give Hank or the DEA jack squat. Walt had slickly escaped from his hospital room, taking a quick trip back home to hide his meth loot, and then trekked back without getting caught. There was a cool moment where Walt looks up and sees a Missing poster with his face and name…irony, gotta love it. Though, Jesse gets off with no strong evidence tying him to Tuco, Hank is celebrated and recognized by his colleagues at the office. Walt still plans to cook, much to Jesse's surprise. Walt's release from the hospital with no Tuco in the way opens new doors for him (the "grill" on Tuco's front teeth were given to Hank encased in a cube for his job taking the drug dealer down by the DEA!), while Hank tries to piece together the circumstances revolving around the warehouse heist (involving Jesse and Walt). Skyler can't shake the "second cell phone", and Walt denies having one when questioned. The lies continue.
