I don’t think the foreshadowed mayhem can be two different events, because all three flash-forwards have followed that teddy bear from one revelation to the next.

LOL

Great response.

Oh, and put me down for the can’t even see the physical resemblance to Hal in Malcolm in the Middle anymore. If I just saw both shows for the first time the other night, I probably wouldn’t know they were the same guy. Amazing job!

I finally watched the episode. I had it DVR’d. I’m loving this show. Jane is bad news, and I see her causing a LOT of trouble in the end. I also predict she’ll be the next ‘main’ character that dies.

> Last sundays episode was the first full one I watched so I don’t know about all the things he done, but he doesn’t look like an anti-hero to me. He loves his family and treats meth _“like the high margin commodity that it is”_. Not like he ever planned to and murdered a partner in cold blood.

Ummm, what? I am aware of Vic vs. Terry - was Lakai or Cornelius not?

Original content: I missed the critical text messages at the end. Could someone rewind the episode for me?
