Episode Overview:
As the frustrating search for a legitimate job lands Jesse in a new drug dealing partnership with his friend, Badger, Walt and Skyler are invited to a birthday party at the estate of his former research partners, Elliott and Gretchen Schwartz. No one feels more out of place at the lavish event than Walt, especially after he sees the trappings of wealth and fame accumulated by his old friends. He’s put at ease, however, when Elliott is genuinely touched by the cheap package of ramen noodles that he gave him in honor of their many years together as struggling young chemists,. But once Elliott offers him a job, Walt immediately realizes that it is charity and that Skyler told him about his cancer. Meanwhile, as Jesse finds that Badger isn’t the kind of business partner that he’s grown accustomed to, when Walt, Jr. is threatened with arrest after soliciting an off-duty cop to buy beer, he turns to Hank, and not his dad, for help.
With her son’s predicament forcing Skyler to reveal that her husband admitted to smoking marijuana, she decides that the only way to get Walt to accept Elliott’s offer to pay for his cancer treatments is by staging an intervention. Surprised to find his family waiting for him, Walt has no choice but to hear them out. While Skyler, Walt, Jr., and Hank make impassioned pleas for getting the treatments, even if it means taking the money from his school classmate, Marie surprises everyone by suggesting that they respect Walt’s decision, no matter what it is.
After listening to everyone, Walt announces that he doesn’t want to go ahead with something that might only keep him alive for a year or two longer. As Jesse’s ill-fated partnership with Badger unravels, Walt has second thoughts about his decision. But in the wake of his first chemotherapy session, he calls Gretchen and claims that he doesn’t need any money to pay for it. And now that he’s facing a huge medical bill, Walt arrives at Jesse’s house offering to renew their business arrangement.
