A return to greatness
10 November 2023
First three episodes were great to the point that they make you want to see more. The fourth was a bit of a letdown but here they returned to greatness once again.

Jesse Pinkman goes to an estate agency for applying for a job there but unfortunately he finds that his job would be to do advertising in a ridicolous costume and quits. Walter and Skylar White go to a party with some of Walt's former college mates, but this embarasses Walter because all his former college mates had more success than him and in fact, when Elliott proposes to Walt to work in the Gray Matter corporation he refuses despite it could guarantee some extra money for the medical expenses. In the meanwhile Jesse starts producing meth with his friend Badger but he can't succedd unlike when he used to do it with Walt so after a brawl Jesse leaves Badger stranded in the desert. Walt finally decides to start some cure but there still are money problems; before the end of the episode he goes to Jesse, asking him if he wants to cook again with him.

I liked that Jesse tried to apply for a job and also that Walt finally decides to do some cure, and the part with Badger that was simply a delusion in the math production was very funny as well. Just another great episode that rests on the shoulders of the cast and writers.
