Breaking Bad “The Cat’s in the Bag…” Spoilers
Having survived the aftermath of his first failed drug deal,a pants-less Walt (Bryan Cranston) decides to part ways with his partner Jesse (Aaron Paul) after they dispose of the bodies of Emilio( John Koyama) and Krazy-8 (Max Arciniega) who Walt had to gas in the first episode. After getting towed by a Native American out of a ditch, Walt starts the RV , he quickly learns that one of the dead men is not dead.
Having no choice but to take the RV to Jesse’s house, Walt leaves the whole mess there for Jesse to deal with while he returns home to his family. Krazy-8 refuses to just die slowly and this causes Jesse to contact Walt at his home where he quickly fends off the call as a telemarketer to his overly curious wife, Skyler(Anna Gunn).
From this point, things begin to spiral out of control as Krazy-8 escapes until to be found by Walt. After the drug dealer recognizes Walt, he runs into a tree which makes it easy to be recaptured. Skyler researches the strange phone call and tracks him down to his “MyShout” page where she learns how much Jesse loves “fine herbage” and MILF’s.
When confronted about the existence of Jesse at the doctor’s office, Walt tells Skyler that he is his pot dealer while he learns that she is going to have a girl.
Meanwhile, back at Jesse’s house, the meth-smoking addict takes shortcuts to disposing of Emilio’s body while Krazy-8 stays locked up in the basement. When Walt arrives, he is greeted to sizzling liquid leaking through the floor as the upstairs bathroom falls through the house thanks to Jesse using hydrofluoric acid in the bathtub instead of plastic containers.
The shot of the tub melting through the floor is priceless and really sets the overall feel for this series.
