Having decided to buy the carwash Skyler and Walt must come up with a story to tell their family; after all it is a lot of money to account for. Skyler comes up with a story about how Walt took up gambling when he thought he was dying... and now is ashamed of it despite his success! The family accept the story and while there Hank shows Walt and Walt Jnr. a rather amusing video clip... it shows Gale performing a karaoke style song! Walt is understandably concerned and tells Hank he is happy to listen if he wants to bounce any ideas about the case off him... It becomes clear that Hank is convinced that Gale was Heisenberg but that doesn't mean the case is closed; the police are still investigating the murder and it appears that they have fingerprints and possible witnesses. Walt goes to see Jesse but he doesn't seem too worried about things... Mike however is concerned and if Mike is concerned than so is Gus and if Gus is concerned Jesse could be in real danger.
This episode got of to a great start in a scene where Mike is in the back of a truck that is ambushed by unknown assailants; at the time I assumed we would then be shown the events leading up to this event but interestingly we weren't... presumably we were just being shown the dangers of the job. Skyler's story about how they got the money seemed overly elaborate but I suspect a non-criminal would be likely to do that. It was great to see that Hank has got the 'investigation bug' back and isn't moping any more; it also served to advance Walt and Jesse's story. The ending leaves thing looking bad for Jesse in a way that should leave the viewers keen to learn what happens next.
