This episode begins by following following Jesse as he goes for a job interview for a salesman position only to learn that the job is in fact actually for sign holding position. When he leaves the place the sign holder runs up to him and the two converse over a joint when the guy in the costume holding the sign asks Jesse if he has any more Meth on him he could sell. Jesse explains that He's not in the business anymore and that he's considering retiring. We meet up with Walt and Skyler as they are on their way to a birthday party. At the party they come as the only two not dressed in the same color as everybody else causing them to stick out. At this party people were asked not to bring gifts but do anyways, including Walt and Skyler. Walt has a small package that he is embarrassed to give except that one of the maids comes and takes it from Walt. Back at Jesse's house we see his friend arrive with a suspicious looking bad which happens to have snacks and means to cook up more Meth.
Back at the party Walt finally has his gift given to his friend who deccides that he loves it alot because of the memories behind it. While there the friend and Walt are rememebering good times when the friend offers Walt a job working for him at his high end job. He explains that the insurance would be great and would cover the medical bills. Walt is then seen leaving the house with Skyler upset that she told their friend about his cancer. Jesse and his friend are in the midle of the desert cooking up meth. When Jesse decides that the latest batches are not good enough he throws them out the door to the shock and anger of his friend. The two get into fight and it ends with the friend being pushed out of the motorhome while Jesse drives away. Walt jr. is picked up by a cop off duty for trying to get him to buy alcohal for his friends and him. His uncle shows up to take him home. Later at home the next day Skyler has an intervention for Walt with the whole family. She brings up all of the reasons why Walt has to get treatment and how his deciding not to is hurting her and their son. Finally after most of the family has talked Skyler's sister says that she believes that Walt should be able to make the decision himself. After an arguement over her saying that Walt talks and explains why he doesn't want to take the treatment. How He feels it will make him too miserable to enjoy the rest of his short life with his family. The next day, he wakes up tells Skyler he's changed his mind and then goes to his treatment with his wife and son. Later we see him pull up infront of Jesse's house and get a phonecall from his friend's wife who asks him to get the treatment and that if he comes to work with her husband the insurance will cover him. He turns her down to which she asks him if it has anything to do with her revealing that the two may have had a romantic past. He says no and lies about how his insurance has come through. He then gets out of the car and asks Jesse if he would like to cook some more meth.
Here we see the struggle of someone looking to have a choice in his life. He doesn't want to constantly be told how to live, or in this case, even to live. He wants to have the option of saying yes or no to treatement. His reasons for why he would want to say no are simple. He doesn't want to suffer and not enjoy the rest of the time he would have with his family. We can see that he looks like his tension has been released by just explaining that he wants to have a choice.
We can look at this and be grateful that God has given us a free will. God loved us enough that we have the ability to make our own choices, good or bad. Revelation 3:20 talks about how He's knocking on our door but that it is our decision whether we are going to let Him in. It is because we have this choice that our relationship with God is so special, because we choose Him too.
