The latest episode of breaking Bad takes place with Jesse and Walt barying a gun they had taken from the scene of Tuco's death when they were fighting him for their lives. We see them start walking down the road waiting to get picked up by hitch hikers. Walt hitch hikes to a small convenience store where he gets naked to cover up the lie that he had some kind of mental amnesia episode when in actuality he had escaped the desert hide of Tuco minutes before hank killed him while looking for Walt. In the hospital the doctors are worried about this supposed episode of Walt's while with Jesse the police are suspicious of his activities being that his car was found at the scene of the crime. Jesse clears out the meth lab in his basement and then goes to a hotel intending to get caught so that he can have them grill him and appear to be innocent. Walt is finding himself having to say one lie after another to cover his tracks finally the doctors unable to find anything abnormal have him admitted to a therapist to talk to and such. Walt realizes that the doctors have every intention of keeping him until they can find out what's wrong so he supposedly admits to the therapist under doctor patient confidentiality that he's perfectly fine and rememebers everything and that he just had to get out of the house. With Jesse, Hank is b rought into to interrogate him and they even go as far as to get Tuco's old uncle who can no longer speak to try and finger Jesse as being at the scene but because Hank killed the old man's nephew he won't help them and defecates in his wheel chair. Finally Jesse is let go and calls Walt to let him know that everything went ok except that the police now have his $68,000 that was in his supposedly stolen car. Walt, nervous sneaks home to check on his money which is all right where he left it. He ends up hiding it again and sneaking back to the hospital where he is released the next day. When he gets home Skyler seems distant and before falling asleep in bed asks him if he has a second phone which he says he doesn't remember anything about. He goes to kiss her goodnight to which she turns away and goes to sleep.
The major theme with this episode is that Walt is having to tell one lie after another to cover up his initial actions. We see this begin to really stress him out and affect those around him. I think at this point we are really starting to see that while his lies are becoming more and more elaborate his wife and some of his family are not fully believing him.
Proverbs 19:22 speaks specifically to this issue when it says "It's better to be poor than a liar." God looks at lying as equal a sin as any other. God sees all sin as equal and therefore there will be consequences for such actions and likely his consequences will be self administered. We can only hope that it is not too late for Walt to change his behavior.
