Show generally

Plot hole: It doesn't make much sense that Marie had to ask Walt and Skyler to pay Hank's medical bills. They both make good money! Hank is a DEA agent and she is some kind of medical professional. There is no reason in the world that this couple cannot afford this. Same thing with Walt.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Their insurance doesn't cover the bills; without that, bills can stack up quickly. You need a lot higher salary than a DEA agent to cover it, even if he got as high as 120,000 USD a year. Marie can't work as she is taking care of her husband.

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, right after he tells Jesse how he used the red phosphorus to kill the gunmen, Walt leans down to vomit. You can see his microphone transmitter under his shirt. (00:54:20)

Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?

Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.

Answer: Walt decided to buy a car wash to launder his money, which makes a profit without the dirty money. At the end he blackmailed Elliot and Gretchen in to giving his money to junior and Holly. However 90% of his $80m is stolen.
