In other words, they can make a fuck ton of money. And that’s that.
At one point, Walt asks Lydia why she never made this pitch to Gus. A little emphatic, Lydia informs him she did make this pitch and that Gus OK’ed it. She keeps arguing, but Walt cuts her off. “Learn to take ‘yes’ for an answer,” he tells her. (Which echoes exactly what Mike told him last season.
But Walt still needs those ten names. So Lydia takes out a piece of paper and a pen.
Their business concluded, they shake hands and Lydia leaves. But before Walt leaves himself, he picks up his hat off the table. Under it, this entire time, it turns out, was the tiny tube of ricin. So…I guess Walt wasn’t actually mocking her when he suggested he might kill her in front of all these people.
ACT TWO
WALT AND SKYLER’S HOUSE
Back at home, the ricin goes into its hiding place inside the electrical outlet behind the nightstand in their bedroom. Then Walt takes out his phone and makes a call. He wants Todd to set up a meeting w/ his uncle.
A HOTEL ROOM
And wouldn’t you know it, but now Walt finds himself in a room full of Aryans. Looks like that’s who Todd’s uncle runs with…
Looks like Devil from Justified is part of the crew
And is that Mac’s Dad from It’s Always Sunny? If not, they came off the same Aryan assembly line
The Nazis discuss the plan. The ten names on Walt’s list are spread across a couple prisons in the area, but the Aryans have people in all of them. Shouldn’t be a problem actually getting to them. The tricky part is they want this to be done quietly, so they’ll have to find a way to do that. But the really tricky part is, Walt wants all nine of them killed within two minutes of each other. (That way once the bodies start to drop the DEA can’t isolate the remaining ones).
The Aryan guy isn’t optimistic about pulling this off. Here, Walt just sort of zones out. He stares at the drab motel art hanging on the wall and wonders about who made it. Probably to make the Aryans impressed with how little he’s afraid of them.
Walt has been listening to motivational tapes from Act Like a Psychopath. By Joel Osteen, obviously
The Aryan concludes that this job is doable, but now how Walt wants it. And Walt, unconcerned, challenges the Aryan guy to be a man. Get it done. The Aryan can’t help but be impressed.
WALT AND SKYLER’S HOUSE
Later, Walt is in the house alone. He checks his watch, (the one Jesse got him as a gift). The appointed time for Mike’s nine associates to die has arrived. And we get a montage of the various Aryan brothers in different prisons across New Mexico doing their jobs. While…a Nat King Cole song plays. Festive!

He punched the paper towel dispenser several seasons ago (season 2?) when he found out he was in remission.
Thank you for another great recap. Just when Walt was out Hank sucks him back in. I think the ricin will be used on Hank in some way and go horribly wrong. Hank is now in the same spot as his Boss was in before he got fired . Hank will have to be careful moving on Walr. I do not think Jessie will find out about what Walt has done to his loved ones. Unless Walt comes clean to Jessie for some reason. Your recaps have really been well written and a great addition to the show. 9 months will not go by fast enough
Yep, the paper towl holder was from before. I don’t know if Walt is cancer free or not – and not sure which would be the better diagnosis. I hate that Hank has to die as well – I just can’t really come up with a scenario where anyone wins. I keep thinking back to the first scene of this season – Walt on his 52nd birthday in that diner. That trunk full of really BIG guns. Does he go after the entire DEA office or are they an attempt to throw the blame on someone else?
I do envision a final scene with ‘Flynn’ and Holly grown up and coming across a key in their deceased parents belongings. They key to the storage unit that holds ‘more money than anyone could ever spend’.
Lots of twists and turns. Love that so many new shows (like Walking Dead) aren’t afraid to kill off central characters – it keeps you guessing!
Excellent recap as usual. The great thing, one of the great things, about this show is how it affords us endless speculation as to its direction. How do we get from Hank on the crapper reading the inscription to Walt and his hair and his fake ID and M-60 in the season cold opener? I don’t think Walt goes after DEA, I think he’s going to have to protect his family from his new business partners who aren’t going to be pleased that he is ‘out’. Or is he out? Maybe he said that only to placate Skylar and to get his kids back home and he is still cooking.
Jesse owns the house now. Bought it with cash in season 2, I think.
The house that Jessie lives in used to be his parents. They were selling it and he bought it with cash when he started making lots of money. Walt never gave him any additional money after he said he was out…until this episode.
Walt staring at the dented hand dryer — I thought that was supposed to remind us, and him, of all the rage and frustration he felt when he first got his diagnosis. That was what started it all. And now it’s a year later. What does it symbolize? This episode was so jumpy and left so many things open that it’s impossible to tell what it symbolizes — is Walt’s cancer back? Is he really out of the business? If so, why? Why would he suddenly decide enough was enough — the episode didn’t give us a reason. It could be because his cancer is back. It could be because he has enough money, but that seems pretty lame. It makes more sense that he’s not out of the business. Why did he pay Jesse off? Has he suddenly developed a conscience again? Why? It wouldn’t matter so much if we didn’t have to wait almost a whole year to find out.
And I tell you what, Hell on Wheels sure ain’t gonna fill in the gap.
I doubt Walt is out. He’s not about the money – he’s all about the power. If he says he’s out, he’s just doing that to get something he wants. Like his kids back. Guess he’ll need to get his own storage unit now.
If you are going to recap the best damn show on television, please take the time to review your own damn recap before posting. Your errors, both factual and typographical, make me wince. The title of the episode is Gliding Over All, NOT Gliding All Over. Jeez. Damn! Lack of factual recall, lack of wit, lack of revelatory insight. Double down DAMN! Get a new recapper for this great show!!!
@SCOA I thought this was a fabulous recap and if folks are that up in arms about a few errors I’d say shut up or switch sites. Who cares? I agree with Meemo in the belief that Breaking Bad is the best show ever, but thats where the similarities end. Who cares if the title is wrong? Is it really going to effect your ability to search for a recap of this episode? HIGHLY doubt it. And have you ever even read any of SCOA’s previous recaps (for this show or others)? If you had, you would have realized how much of a magician SCOA had to be when recapping the train wreck that was “V”. It took a miracle (and a lot of wine) to make THAT show interesting. And to end this soapbox monologue, not every recap is is going to be full of wit and snark because not every episode warrants such a response. Think on that for a moment. Im just saying, this is the beginning of the end of the best show of all time, lets treat it and its faithful recapper with a bit more respect.
Meemo calm down and be thankful this show has such a good and faithful Person to put in the hard to work. No one can get that upset at such a great addition for the show. Take a valium and take joy in the show. I love the show and forget a lot of the content even after watching three or four times. Please Peace in your Hood
Bite me.
Come on guys, you just gotta have a bully in every crowd. Makes it just that much more exciting. Plus Meemo’s recap was way worse, not even the least bit funny and way to hard to understand!!!
Because of the economy and my failing health. I lost cable at the end of last season. This show in my mind has been one of the best, if not the very best show I have ever watched. I have been around for a good long time and have watched many TV shows. From Highway Patrol and Mr. Ed back in the 50′s to Person of Interest and Elementary a couple of days ago. I can honestly say that I have never had a TV show keep me so rivited to the idiot box as this one has. Even the worst episodes (as if there were any) were excellent!!!
Now without cable and a computer good enough to watch this final season. I am left with only Saint Clare of Assisi to make my minds eye be able to watch the show. So for that I am extremely grateful to this gentleman for not only his loyalty to the show. But for his insites and a genuine love for the show as well. I am positive that I am not the only one who feels that Saint Clare of Assisi has went above and beyond his call of duty for posting recaps that were very informative but also enjoyable and fun to read. For this I thank you kindly sir and look forward to the rest of the season with you…..
