Yes I thought it was a great episode. You needed to tell the story of why Walt comes back.
At the end of the last episode he's basically burned all of his bridges, it would be the rational thing to just stay the hell out of Dodge. This episode basically makes that story. Walt is on the verge of returning but decides against it. Infact, once he realizes things are irreperable with his son does he decide to throw in the towel and turn himself in. A lonely, wasted, shell of a man with no fight left in him.
Only when his monstrous ego is challenged does he finally budge.
Excellent episode I thought.
