what happens

Walt takes drastic action to protect his secret and Gus. Skyler's efforts to solve Ted's financial problems hit a wall.

Not enough to put a number on. The shape below is drawn from what there is, with the widest uncertainty band we use — it is the start of an answer, not one.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“That whole last scene with the phone ringing and Marie freaking out and Skyler in shock and Walt's creepy "I'm fucked" laugh. So disturbing, so good.”

“the last few scenes with Walt in the Crawl Space and you could hear the heart beating I felt like it was a homage to Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe. As the beating heart from the body under the floor boards.”

“that was brilliant. the music builds up to a crescendo then as Walt screams this line, it goes to a sudden halt, with heartbeats in the background. That was a perfect 5 minutes of television.”
