Chips meeting ScarfaceвЂќ but at the end of Scarface, the main character dies. Vince Gilligan has always said that he wanted Breaking Bad to be like вЂњMr. He is dragging everyone down slowly and killing them. I donвЂ™t mean the foreshadowing of the cancer but the fact that Walter himself is the cancer in everyoneвЂ™s lives. When Walt asks Skyler what sheвЂ™s waiting for in that scene after the birthday party and she replies with вЂњFor the cancer to come backвЂќ, it brings up another notion that I like to keep bringing up and that Vince Gilligan keeps hammering home. WaltвЂ™s/HeisenbergвЂ™s overconfidence may prove to be his downfall and it may be at the hands of two of the three women characters on the show: Lydia and Skyler. However, when Mike wants to kill off Lydia for trying to bamboozle them, Walt ignores MikeвЂ™s advice. Walt is giving in to his indulgences and loving it. He sells the fixed up Aztec (that was totaled after he crashed it when Hank wanted to check out the laundromat where the meth lab was hidden) for 50 bucks, he buys a new sports car for himself and one for Walt Jr., he wants a big surprise party for his 51st birthday (and gets a small one instead), etc. Considering the fact that the ricin cigarette played a large role at the beginning of episode two, I wouldnвЂ™t be surprised if it ends up being inhaled by Skyler herself.Дuring the episode, Walter engulfs himself further into the Heisenberg persona. Speaking of burn, SkylerвЂ™s recently picked up smoking habit rears itвЂ™s head again during this episode. Walt tells Skyler that Gus was the danger to which she replies вЂњI thought you were the danger?вЂќ Burn. After they leave, Skyler drops the bomb about how she fears for her childrenвЂ™s lives while Walt is around. After Walt saves her from the pool, Hank and Marie decide to take the kids for a couple days. While Walter is giving a speech about how Skyler has stuck with him while he had cancer and how lucky heвЂ™s been to be alive (which is actually a вЂњwink, winkвЂќ speech that viewers will understand is about more than just cancer), Skyler decides to walk into the deep end of the pool. Skyler presses Walt at the beginning of the episode to send the kids away to which Walt wonders вЂњwhy?вЂќ Skyler, still deathly afraid of Walter and what he may or may not be capable of, relents on giving any reasons until WalterвЂ™s birthday party. This episode centers around SkylerвЂ™s reservations about Walter, her and her childrenвЂ™s safety, and WalterвЂ™s obliviousness and then reactions to them. Sure, Walt is helping in making them all significantly richer but at what cost?* Walt is the reason why SkylerвЂ™s having a serious mental breakdown. Walt was the reason why MikeвЂ™s granddaughter doesnвЂ™t have money in her bank account and why heвЂ™s back in the meth business.

Walter was the reason behind every terrible experience in JesseвЂ™s life since heвЂ™s met him. Walter was the reason Hank was a near parapalegic and almost killed twice (by the twins and by Gus Fring). вЂњ51вЂќ isnвЂ™t just the episode that confirms that Walter White is the danger but that he is a danger to everyone around him.
