This episode features the famous supermarket fugue state, where Walt gets the bright idea to wander around a store naked while feigning disorientation to account for his disappearance following the Tuco and Tio confrontation in "Grilled." It's somewhat overlooked due to it having to follow that brilliant episode. "Bit by a Dead Bee," which gets its name from a quote in the 1944 film To Have and Have Not, plants the seeds of future conflicts between Walt and Jesse and between Walt and his family. The painting on Walt's hospital room wall is especially prophetic: it features a man on a rowboat sailing away from his family, who wave from the shore. Jesse has an entertaining interview with Hank about his car being found at the scene, Tio has a hilarious and foul-smelling message for the DEA, and Hank and Gomez begin to analyze the security footage of Walt and Jesse stealing the methylamine. The beginning of the great second cell phone dispute and the fake fugue state illustrate the web of lies that Walt finds himself tangled in. Walt's moonlit escape from the hospital and return home is highlighted by the realisation of the effects his actions are starting to have on Skyler and Walter, Jr. Walt's explanation of his circumstances to the hospital psychologist is a sad, yet candid, confession. The episode is just an incredible confluence of future plot threads that are even more evident now that the series has completed and it deserves more recognition. Memorable Quote: Walter White: "My wife is seven months pregnant with a baby we didn't intend. My fifteen-year old son has cerebral palsy. I am an extremely overqualified high school chemistry teacher. When I can work, I make $43,700 per year. I have watched all of my colleagues and friends surpass me in every way imaginable. And within eighteen months, I will be dead. And you ask why I ran?"
