Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBonus: Walt hesitates for a moment in class while coming up with an example of an organic compound with chirality. The chemists watching will realize he probably thought of meth, as R/levomethamphetamine is a legal, less potent isomer used in nasal decongestants. Its chiral counterpart, S-methamphetamine, is the crystal he's currently selling with Jesse - a little too much to use as a teaching aid.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: As the ''Series/MythBusters'' would later demonstrate, Hydrofluoric Acid isn't nearly as powerful in real lifeas this episode implies it is. While it ''could'' be used to dispose of a dead body, it most assuredly could not eat through a ceramic bathtub or the floor underneath it.

Added DiffLines:

* EtTuBrute: Subverted. Jesse thought that Walt had betrayed him by telling Skyler of what they had done together. Fortunately, Walt had only [[ConfessToALesserCrime confessed a lesser crime]] of buying marijuana from Jesse to prevent Skyler from finding out that he and Jesse had killed Emilio and cooked crystal meth.


Walt barely makes it through teaching while hallucinating his students asking him about murder, grabs some hydrofluoric acid from the supply closet, and heads to Jesse's house. On his way, a half-blind Krazy-8 stumbles down the street, having escaped from the RV. Upon seeing Walt, he sprints off only to collide with a tree and knock himself out again. Walt brings him back to Jesse's house and locks him in the basement. Walter wonders how they can prevent him from escaping again, noting that just tying him up didn't stop him for long. Jesse briefly ponders this, then goes to his garage and gets his bike lock, which he uses to chain Krazy-8 to one of the support beams in the basement. Walt and Jesse then turn to the subject of Emilio's body, and Walt says that the best way to leave no evidence is to dissolve him in the acid he brought along. They also agree that Krazy-8 can't be left alive, though they are both very reluctant to be the one who actually kills him. Walt eventually suggest that the fairest way to distribute the tasks is by coin flip. After a tense flip, it's decided that Jesse will dispose of the body while Walter will kill Krazy-8. Walter instructs Jesse to shop for a plastic bin, specifying that it must be one made of polyethylene. Jesse, however soon give up after a brief visit to the local home depot store, because he is unable to find a container big enough for the body.

Meanwhile, Walter is drinking beer as he is gathering courage in Jesse's kitchen, and ponders various methods of murdering Krazy-8. He eventually before goes down to the basement with a plastic bag and finding Krazy-8 awake. He finds himself unable to kill him, and instead retreats to the kitchen. Where he makes Krazy-8 a sandwich, and also brings him makeshift toiletries. In order to relieve his stress, he takes some of Jesse's marijuana, and after several failed attempts at roll a blunt, he eventually manages to make a smokable one.

Jesse returns empty-handed home from shopping, and while he is at first highly amused by the visage of his former high school teacher smoking pot in his kitchen, he is somewhat less amused when he realizes that that Walt made the blunt from his marijuana, and he is downright upset when he learns that Walt hasn't completed his end of the deal either. Walter leaves to meet Skyler for a pre-natal check-up, where she privately asks him about his connection to Jesse Pinkman. Walt, still a bit high, informs her that he's a former student who sells him pot, and politely tells her to get off his ass. Skyler later pays Jesse a visit as he is moving Emilio from the RV to the house, and tells him not to sell Walter weed anymore, warning him that her brother-in-law is a DEA agent. Jesse barely avoids detection and manages to put Emilio in the bathtub upstairs, where he applies the acid.

'''Jesse:''' I mean, what-? What kind of reason? You mean, like, “Dear Krazy-8, hey, listen, if I let you go, will you promise not to come back and waste my entire family? No Colombian Neckties?” You mean that kind of reason? No, man, I can’t say as I have high fucking hopes where that’s concerned.
