I would have liked it better if there had been an admission on Kanack(?)s part. Maybe if the con had been the aliens wanting the jet engine and so he confessed that it wasn't his idea. I don't buy that he suddenly fell apart so spectacularly after one night, and that the buyer of the engine just suddenly discounted all of the information about Oren's breakdown just because Kanack had a meltdown.
Bunnies frighten me.

What Vortex said. The con was cute, but all those other people Kanack ripped off still had their lives ruined. Also. I don't buy that Nate didn't hear the guy at first and so just got him the $1M. When are the cons *ever* just about the money?

This ep just needed a little work. it might have made more sense if Oren had claimed that it was about the money, then changed his mind when he got it and realized that he really wanted his reputation back. (side note: how exactly was he going to explain a million dollar check? To the IRS, if nothing else?)

Yeah, that was weird. Also, this had to be the dumbest mark in a long time. He was just SUPER gullible at every turn. He didn't even look at the search warrant! Oh, they're just waving a piece of paper, it must be official.
The chase music was great, though, and I did like the alien attack effects.

P-C, you're going to have to be more specific. There's a whole lotta Holy Crap in any given episode....

I would be referring to the Walt/Skyler bedroom scene.

Ah!
Skyler really REALLY needs to cut a deal with the DEA to bring down Walt & Co, so that she gets immunity or a reduced sentence in order to protect Junior and Holly (and thank goodness the kids have a loving aunt and uncle -- she doesn't need to worry about them going into the foster system.)
Supplier lady doesn't strike me as technical enough to handle faking a tracer on the barrel, when she can't even work the lights correctly. I doubt she could work the loader either, but Mike doesn't know that.

I'm getting worried that Walt is going to straight-up kill Skyler at some point now.

I could totally see that happening, honestly.
