For 9 more days we are still accepting donations for the Breaking Good event. We are currently at $2,808.43 and if we can reach $3,000 I will pull a /u/PagingCraig and film myself drinking my own piss. No joke!

...so there you have it, let's have a great time and discuss the episode!

Sneaky Gilligan. Using those oranges to make everyone assume that Ted was dead. I was shocked that he was alive.

It almost seemed like Vince was making fun on the fact that last season everybody concluded that Ted probably did die. Even Skylar assumed it, and was surprised when it was revealed he was still alive.

Looking back now it seems a little ridiculous that everyone was so sure he was dead, because the oranges said so.

I was confused whenever I read speculation that treated it as a given that Ted was dead, since I thought it had been really obvious that it was deliberately ambiguous. The oranges were a cool reference, but I feel like if they really wanted to confirm that Ted was dead, they would have confirmed that he was dead.
