This finale that wasn't meant to be a finale shows us what happens when Tuco's psychotic unpredictability meets Walt's completely predictable pride. Walt and Jesse have entered into a working relationship with Tuco that requires a change in which precursor they use to make their meth, so they set about one of the most incompetent heists imaginable. Also, the world stops to hold its breath as we learn that Marie is shoplifting.

Here we reach the high point of Season One of Breaking Bad, with Walt and Jesse continuing to cook so much that they have trouble moving enough product. Which would be a good problem to have if it didn't involve getting in bed with a psychopath named Tuco. Meanwhile, Hank starts sniffing around Walt's high school chemistry lab looking for his mystery cook, and ends up ruing the life of an improbably saintly custodian.

This week we learn more about Walt's past when we meet Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz, his former colleagues and business partners. The problem? Walt left the company, because of pride, and the Schwartzes became extremely rich. Now, Elliot is offering to pay for Walt's treatment, and once again, Walt's pride will cause things to go horribly. Additionally, Badger shoots Jesse with a crossbow.

Things had to slow down eventually, and with Krazy-8 out of the way it's time for a breather. Walt spends this episode dealing with the fallout from admitting that he has cancer, as Skyler tries to convince him that it's worth pursuing treatment no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Jesse is unable to stay in his plausibly haunted house, so he returns to a family that very much doesn't want him around.

Messes just lead to more messes as Walt and Jesse continue to deal with the aftermath of their first cook. The biggest loose end is Krazy-8, chained to a post in Jesse's basement, with Walt looking for any reason to let him go. This episode has some of the most rivetting scenes in the series, along with one of the most embarrassing... Get out of here with that "soul" stuff.

So you make some very good product, and through no fault of your own you end up with one and a half dead bodies. A worse show would make the bodies disappear conveniently. However, Breaking Bad is about two people who are inept at crime getting into their own way. Walt and Jesse are ready to go their separate ways, but first they have to split the duties of dealing with Emilio (deceased) and Krazy-8 (it's complicated). And some messes only get bigger.
