Breaking Bad 'Problem Dog' Episode Guide - UGO

Breaking Bad keeps putting nails in Walter White's coffin, a grisly fate Gus spelled out for us in the brutal season premiere, "Box Cutter." Of course, it's nothing compared to the beating taken in "Thirty-Eight Snub," but it's "Open House" for chaos and all hell might break loose if our favorite chemist doesn't put a few "Bullet Points" into his employers and take a "Shotgun" to his would-be killers! Pretty soon Walter might find himself "Cornered!"

This week, a frustrated Walter gambles on a risky new plan as Skyler's business venture hits a snag and Hank recruits Walter Jr. for an unusual outing to Los Pollos Hermanos. 

So what will Walter do with Jesse's loyalty shifting even more toward the employers who tried to have them killed? What will Skyler do now that the car wash business isn't quite what she expected? Here's everything you need to know about "Problem Dog" for next week's Breaking Bad.

  • We open on Jesse playing a copy of Rage (early, lucky!) as strobe lights flash in his living room, a scene that looks suspiciously like his murder of Gail at the end of last season! Could someone have a few ghosts they need to exorcise?
  • Skyler forces the increasingly emasculated Walt to return the sweet Challenger he bought last week, so ol' Heisenberg blows her off by taking the mint-condition car for a donut-spinning joyride in a parking lot. The piece de resistance? Lighting the return papers on fire and placing them in the gas tank, destroying the car in a spectacular fireball as Walt blithely calls for a cab. Better call Saul! 
  • Saul manages to get the charges reduced to misdemeanor trash burning, but Walt seems unaffected as he remains convinced Gus will try to kill him. No worries, though! A quick trip to Jesse's sees Walter obnoxiously coaxing his partner into killing Gus the first chance he gets, being the more likely of the two to see the elusive Mr. Fring.
  • As Marie offers up advice to Skyler on improving car wash business, Walt awkwardly arrives with a concealed load of cash hidden in a soda shipment. Behind closed doors Skyler balks at their new business' inability to launder such incredible sums, but silently backs down when Walt offers her a chance to get out of the business. 
  • Walter readies a special concoction of ricin for Jesse to somehow spread in one of Gus' meals, calling back to their efforts to kill Tuco in season two. Just don't deliver it in front of any semi-cogent seniors with bells on their wheelchairs!
  • Hank, who's managing to walk well with his cane, takes Walter Jr. for lunch at Los Pollos Hermanos. Gus happily comes out to greet Agent Schraeder, and dutifully refills his drink, not realizing that Hank's intention all along was to take Gus' fingerprints off the cup and connect them to the Pollos napkin found in Gail's apartment.
  • Nervously carrying a plate of food, Jesse accompanies Mike and a host of hired guns to Gus' hideaway, the site of a conference with the Cartel leaders. Jesse hesitates in pouring the ricin in any food or beverages, and Mike provides him with a gun as the Cartel arrives. Gus meets with the lone Cartel member and offers $50 million dollars as a "severance package," but the Cartel has no intention of accepting any offers from Gus. Outside again Jesse finds an opportunity to put his gun to Gus, but backs down. In the car ride back Jesse asks Mike what Gus might have seen in him, and Mike believes it to be "loyalty."  Though perhaps, that loyalty is to the wrong person.
  • In the episode's but powerfully tense scene, Jesse attends his rehab group meeting, and conveys his conflicted feelings on Gail's murder (using a "problem dog" as a cover), calling out the group leader in that nothing means anything if people forgive themselves for such horrors. He even confesses that he came to the group in the first place with the intent to sell them meth!
  • Hank happily visits his old superiors at the DEA, offering up the many leads he's investigated in Gail's murder, none of which seem like enough evidence to pursue. That is, until he flips over his ace in the hole, the fact that Gus' fingerprints were found in Gail's apartment, tying him to the whole investigation.

Looks like Gus is in a world of trouble on all fronts! Will Jesse do the deed, or will Hank and the DEA remove the problem for him? Tune in to next week's "Hermanos" to find out the latest from Breaking Bad!
