After the last episodes had picked up the pace and were taking the story somewhere, "Peekaboo" decides to take a detour and stop advancing the story of Walter and Pinkman (which is becoming more and more interesting; actually more than Walter's).
Walter keeps his breaking down. Cranston keeps his good job, but one has to wonder how Walter White kept all that hate under control before "Breaking Bad" started. Or are we supposed he was the perfect husband, father and teacher? It all seems a little bit of a stretch, as his relationship with his wife. In the first episodes of season one they seemed to have a good enough relationship, her caring about his illness, etc etc. Now they are so suspicious of each other, is too big and too fast of a change.
Also, poor Pinkman. Walter's puppet tries to do Walter's biding, but has a problem as he finds a child in the junkies thieves' house. Pinkman is the best character in the series, but pairing him with a child makes him a disservice. And not very interesting, either.
An OK episode, with not much happening.
