Warning: Spoilers
After the events at the end of the previous episode Walter White managed to take the heroin for Gus Fring but didn't manage to go in time to see the birth of his new daughter and Jesse soon after calls Walter because he think he's been robbed but Walt hangs up: when Jesse finds the truth goes to Walt's high school for having half of the money but Walt decides that they'll share the right dose of money when Jesse will appear more sober but Jesse doesn't feel ok about it and assaults Walt in the classroom. In the meanwhile Jane's father is angry because she finds his daughter hanging with Jesse soon after she went out of rehabilitation. Jane soons blackmail Walt and he is forced reluctantly to give half of his money to Jesse. In the evening Walt goes again to Jesse for talking with him but after noticing that Jesse doesn't wake up because of too many heroin and in an attempt of waking him up moves Jane a bit and she has a throw up crisis in her sleep because of the overdose; Walt attempts to rescue her but soon stops, letting her die.

The story arcs up until the ending were good but what bogged me to give an higher score was the ending, because it would have been better if Jane wouldn't have been died. Still, good but one of the lesser episodes in the show so far.
