Walt and Jessie commit to a big production and a baby shower gift causes problems.
I love the black comedy in this one and it starts almost immediately in the school meeting and continues at various points throughout. All the scenes involving people's ignorance to Walt's double life are very funny. I also enjoyed the humorous parts of the meth cooking scene.
All shenanigans relating to the tiara are pretty funny. Not just from an entertainment perspective, but also for character development.
The more serious parts are very well done, particularly Walt's speech for the home movie shot at the baby shower. Bryan Cranston delivers it brilliantly.
There is a very nasty scene towards the end that feels at this point somewhat forced into it to generate fear and revulsion around a particular character, plus to show Walt and Jessie's predicament. It has the desired effect but also makes the victim look very foolish to make that mistake.
The cinematography and art design are excellent as always. I have never seen a more cinematic looking junkyard on screen.
Another high quality episode, especially considering the writers strike at the time.
