In trying to set Jesse straight about GusвЂ™s intentions (вЂњThis whole thing, all of this-itвЂ™s all about meвЂќ), he manages to insult and belittle Jesse just as those field trips with Uncle Mike are starting to build him up following a lost weekend binging on drugs and Go-Karts.

WaltвЂ™s fatherly love for his former student, as flawed as it may be, is one of his last redeeming traits, but heвЂ™s never really figured out how to talk to the kid. (Something tells me that this is not the last we see of those eyebrows.)ДЄnd to judge by his confrontation with Jesse, Walt, too, is reading from a Gus Fring script. Instead of letting Bogdan have his moment of superiority at the car wash, Walt has to bristle and sneer and one-up him, all for the price of a soda. (I look forward to the T-shirts, mugs, GIFs and miscellaneous Internet memes that result from вЂњI AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS,вЂќ a catchphrase worthy of Daniel Plainview.) Instead of sucking it up and cleaning the lab himself, he waves some cash at three women working at GusвЂ™ laundry facility, which puts them on a bus back to Honduras and no doubt further alienates Gus.

(Does that mean weвЂ™re recapping a recap?) For instance, the morning after WaltвЂ™s boozy outburst, Skyler lays out a case for going to the police that also boils down the showвЂ™s premise: вЂњSchoolteacher! Cancer! Desperate for money!вЂќ Later, Walt explains to Jesse what we learned last week: that in вЂњsavingвЂќ Mike from an ambush, Jesse was in fact the unwitting lead actor in a Gus Fring Production, and that Gus is trying to вЂњdrive a wedgeвЂќ between his two cooks. For some viewers, вЂњCorneredвЂќ may be the episode that tips anticipation into slight frustration, because much of it felt like summary. The last few weeks have been measured and patient even by the standards of a show that burns slow. (Now I know how Jesse felt the first time he tried to cook Mr.
