Review of Down

Breaking Bad: Down (2009)
Season 2, Episode 4
4/10
A downer
22 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The plot really slows down in this episode. Walt and Jessie decide to lay low before they start cooking again. The rest of the episode is Walt trying to make amends with Skyler, who passive aggressively brushes him off until the end where she snaps. Oh, and he goes driving with his completely uninteresting son.

Jessie spends all episode just suffering as a homeless guy after being kicked out of his house, misfortune after misfortune.

Repeat each of these scenarios for each characters 2-3 times.

The episode just didn't really have enough plot progression or character moments to really stand out. One good thing though is we see Walt and Skyler's relationship start to deteriorate, and the signs of Skyler going bad when she picks up that cig at the end.
