Season Three - Episode Nine: "Kafkaesque"

Episode Description:
As Hank's hospital bills stack up, Skyler hatches a plan. Walt and Gus come to a better understanding. Jesse, looking for more independence, pursues a new opportunity.

Episode Overview:
Their partnership renewed, Walt and Jesse have resumed production in their lab in order to meet Gus’s quota. Though Walt is focused on the task at hand, Jesse is unhappy when, after making some back-of-the-envelope calculations, he realizes that they are being paid a mere pittance compared to what Gus is making on the deal. And to make matters worse, when Jesse points out that they are delivering more than promised, Walt doesn’t seem to care. Meanwhile, as Agent Gomez applauds his foresight regarding the resurgence of blue meth in the drug market, Hank tells everyone of the mysterious warning he received just prior to the attempt on his life.

In the wake of the latest assessment by Hank’s spinal surgeon, Marie begins to see just how difficult – and expensive – his rehabilitation will be. But when both the doctor and the hospital administrator advise her to adhere closely to the insurance company guidelines, Marie vows to do whatever it takes to see that Hank walks again. Meanwhile Saul recommends that Jesse buy a nail salon to launder their illegal income, while Walt negotiates a long-term deal with Gus that will net them millions more than originally promised. Yet, unaware of the untold riches that await him, Jesse hatches a plan to siphon off drugs from Gus’s shipments for him and his pals to sell on their own.

Following a surprise visit at home, Skyler does her best to convince Ted Beneke that their affair is over. Then, watching Marie prepare to go on the warpath against their health insurance company, she comes up with a plan to pay for Hank’s rehab. As she and Walt are consoling Marie over the insurer’s latest denial of a claim, Skyler says they can pay the uninsured medical expenses. When Marie presses her to explain where the money will come from, Walt listens uncomfortably as Skyler claims that Walt won a fortune gambling. And when during a moment alone Walt objects, Skyler makes it clear that, because she suspects he had something to do with the attempt on Hank’s life, it is his responsibility to pay whatever it takes to help him recover.

15 mil a year clean money through a legitimate business? Mike was right, Walt should have shut the #@$# up, did what he was told, and cooked. Let the ego go when you have a chance to be a millionaire.

That Gambling story was so rock solid and convincing that even some of us in the Audience who knew it was bullshit bought the story.

[DekuStickGamer]

Walt's little grimace as Gus shuts him up with more money. That was heisenberg flashing for a second, because his ego felt bruised.

That's messed up yo... that's kafkaesque!
