We all knew that Jesse was going to have to do something about those two people who robbed Skinny Pete, but I seriously doubt anyone expected what would transpire in this episode. I know I wasn’t expecting it.

I’m constantly amazed (and frustrated) by the fact that Walt almost always gets away with his lies. It’s just unbelievable that things seem to work out for him in some fashion, even when it looks like he’s toast.

Bryan Cranston as Walter White

His lies about the source of the money appeared to have finally caught up to him, but he somehow managed to squeak by, by using other lies. I wish I knew how many lies he has told to his family. It’s difficult to believe Walt is still getting away with it all.

Jesse had his hand full this week. Not only did he have to deal with the breakage, but he had to make sure a child didn’t get hurt in the process. I wasn’t surprised to see a child introduced so much as the child was in terrible shape. He looked filthy, but he barely said a word in the entire episode. He only seemed to know how to say “I’m hungry” and I can only imagine what his addict parents give him.

The way in which all of that played out didn’t hold many surprises. The only surprise was that there was an ATM machine that they tried to break open and it took them forever to do it. I know they’re made quite well, but this was embarrassing to watch.

“Peekaboo” will probably only be memorable because of the young boy who was pictured. It’s hard to get that imagery out of your head. I felt sorry for the little tyke. That being said, there wasn’t a whole lot to keep me interested in this episode. It was a fairly bland episode compared to the majority of the series’ run of episodes.
