10/10
Survivor's instinct

Warning: Spoilers
With Saul as their lawyer and legal advisor, Walt and Jesse need to spare a bit of their earnings to pay for Saul's services.

Walt crafts another lie and tells Skyler that he will be visiting his mother, while he secretly plans on cooking for four days straight with Jesse.

The two batch up a more than successful cook, but quickly find themselves in the detrimental situation of the RVs battery having run out.

What follows is a gripping and entertaining quarrel of the two fighting for ways to start up the RV with the limited materials that they have and fighting for survival underneath the glazing sun.

I like these episodes a lot that focus only on Walt's and Jesse's relationship and that have a unity of space. You see the characters more for whom they are and it helps them become more dimensional. This can especially be seen in situations where characters seem to have given up hope - in this case, Walt is contemplating whether he has actually been of benefit to his family or whether he has just provided them with lies and fear.
