I have a problem with watching tv where i can't watch a season til it's over but how i met your mother is on of my guilty pleasures. Just watched season 8 episode 15.
This episode was a welcome refresher to the explosive first three. As good as those three were- and goddammit they're great- this episode takes a step back and lets us look at Walt and Jesse's characters as each go through their own little stories. On Walt's side, its about the family finding out about his cancer and how they deal with it. That in itself makes this the most emotional episode yet- only rivaled by its predecessor. This is Walt's story first and foremost, in my opinion, and we get a clearer look at whats going on his noggin than in Jesse's- but Jesse's story is still a great way to expand his character from the "yo, bitch" wannabe-gangsta stereotype we see. Him moving back in briefly with his family and their interactions are perfectly executed. There's so many small touches on both ends of each story that elevate this episode so much and I could list but I'm on my phone so fuck you. Overall, this is a very very strong A
Quick:

A bit theatrical. And I find it hard to believe he is the only one playing them all, like a master pupeteer. For most of the episodes the other characters seem naive and easy to manipulate, the only character capable to face him appears in the final episodes. In the real world isn't as simple as that, only one smartass to manipulate them all. Yes, there are all kinds of fish in the sea, but also there's not only one shark in there.
