Ever since season 1, when Elliott (successful business friend) offers to pay for all of Walt's medical bills. Walt is obsessed about being the man, being the provider, so much so that he'd risk everything to keep his ego satisfied. Ah yes, that is a good point. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + When Walter gets mad and throws the pizza up on the roof. I don't know why but I was cracking up so much after that. Looking forward to next episode. | ||

I think Walter White suffers from the tragic flaw of pride. He's basically like Macbeth or Frankenstein - in fact, Skylar is kind of like an early Lady Macbeth. Anyways, he does have that obsession with providing, the scene with Gus telling Walter what a man is: "A man provides." was really great. | ||

Yeah you're right, inferiority complex was a poor choice of words on my part. | ||

I mean as far as I'm aware hes not money laundering, and considering hes known by the police to be a hanger-on with drug dealers and druggies [and its been implied hes had at least minor run ins with the law], and the degree of money hes spending etc- how is he not mega suspicious? On top of already pointed out flaws with the whole skylar/walt bit... seems like theres a ton of plot holes this season. That or a lot of things walt/jesse have failed to look at do to hubris, which will bite them in the ass. Specially' if hanks involvement becomes the big thing we have all, im sure, speculated it will be since season 1. So, if he's making mistakes (he obviously doesn't care), that means there's a plot hole? DEA wouldn't bust on him as soon as he spent a few bucks, anyway. They want to catch as many as they can, as high up the chain as possible. Them locking him up prematurely would be a mistake. You can add to that that Hank is not working currently, so we don't see what's going on in DEA. (Neither Hank, nor his cop friend who appeared in the last episode know what's new in DEA, either.) | ||

Conveniently he has never voiced concerns or pushed for more reasonable behaviour in quite honestly the most needed area, not having an unemployed ex drug dealer buying houses, expensive things, all the while hes not even taking in unemployment [as far as we are aware]. Its either a plot hole or something thats going to blow up in jesse and walts face very very big.So, if he's making mistakes (he obviously doesn't care), that means there's a plot hole?

Anyways i hope they explain more about it cuz right now it sounds strange. Paying Hank's medical bills sounds more traceable. However I think she was right about the Champagne. Its the little things that WILL fuck you. I wonder how Jesse is gonna recover. Right now it looks like he might just get himself killed but they can't kill their 'lead' actor. Finally getting into the Lab Notes thing, about time things start heating up! I'm lovin this season. Pretty sure they said in an earlier episode that the money to buy the car wash was going to be from Walt's one time "gambling winnings" that Saul was going to pay off some casino guys to make it seem more legitimate. Also I think the medical bills falls under that same category. The only part that confuses me is that in this last episode Skyler seemed super paranoid about Walt spending money because she want's to appear poor, which just doesn't make sense to me if they're trying to play off this whole casino winnings thing at the same time. Also I hope Hank either start's improving at a much faster pace, or takes a turn for the worst because I really can't stand his character right now. | ||

Saul Goodman was the one who facilitated the house sale so it's assumed he did it safely as all transactions on his part have been thus far. The local police/DEA aren't concerned about unemployed people who spend large amounts of money. Jesse has likely been paid in cash to this point, and unless he's planning on buying another house or other six figure or greater item he'll be able to live on just cash. Saul could easily facilitate any purchases of a car or something in cash. Also, after the Hank punching Jesse incident Jesse was the one who decided to drop the charges, which relieved the DEA boss. He wouldn't want people provoking Jesse and potentially inciting him into suing again. | ||

The incident with Hank wouldnt mean the DEA would just put their fingers in their ears, nor does it even remotely explain why Gus or Walt of all people arent concerned.

I'm exaggerating nothing, your just explaining it away in an extremely contrived manner. A known criminal? He hasn't been convicted of anything. He has a connection to the murder of Tuco because his car was there but that is it. Hank was personally suspicious of him, no one else was. Also, when someone buys a 5 grand TV in cash no one cares. The salesmen at the store aren't going to question where the customer got the money, neither will movers if they are involved. Unless you're suggesting that the DEA is watching him 24/7, which I highly doubt given that the DEA is a federal agency with the entire country to look over and Jesse is just a twenty something year old who was questioned a number of months back. Walt is far too concerned with his own situation to be worrying about what Jesse his spending his money on, and Jesse hasn't done anything in regards to spending to warrant Gus getting involved. | ||

I'm quite confused, I cant remember them explaining that in anyway. probably just numb to feeling after having to kill some person in the most ridiculous way possible, having his exgf OD and drown in her own vomit right next to him as he's sleeping off his meth high, etc... quite a lot of bad shit has happened to him. | ||
