"Breaking Bad" decides to center its purpose for a while, as in this episode we start to see how Walter's illness has brought him on a path of self-destruction, and how it seems he is willing to take everyone with him on it. Poor unstable Pinkman being the most obvious victim.
With Tuco's being dealt with, the episode shows the aftermath of Jesse and Walter's kidnapping. And it is ugly, as the lies have been piling and piling, and both seem to have lost themselves. Pinkman was already in a path to oblivion, but in a just-let-days-go-by type of way. With Walter's appearance, Pinkman is losing everything, and Paul responds to it keeping his high quality work. But Walter's family is also suffering from Walter's decision to find a "purpose" to his empty and soon to be over life.
The show is becoming grimmer and it is the best for it, as, at least, it has some life in it. But how will it bring them out of this situation, or stretch it longer, is a question that it will have to be answer, as it is still on shaky ground.
Nonetheless, it keeps improving.
