I think the ticking of the clock in the living room and then the faster ticking of the watch were both meant to signify that Walt's time is running out, as well as to make us recall Mikes "you're a time bomb speech", but I don't think it was meant to be specifically connected to Jesse.

I think it's a part of it. In the case of MadMen, it's also difficult to comprehend just what women's roles typically were in 1960. I think some viewers too young to understand the gender roles of the time feel that Betty had more options and more agency than she realistically did.

@avclub-12e35d9186dd72fe62fd039385890b9c:disqus Agreed.  The arrangement of the bacon really seals the deal for me, as that is a White family tradition. No one outside of the family knows it, so it wouldn't make any sense for him to do it in public as a message.

Can't agree. Mike has a solid understanding of how this business works, and he clearly considers the men still being paid off "his guys".  Mike has a clear sense of loyalty to his guys, not only because they could flip and ruin his life, but because even in the underworld, there's a code.

@avclub-7159270de715afc57b3c2be1fff3947e:disqus If I recall correctly, the Mexican scientists were making their own methylamine which is why Jessie was initially thrown off when beginning the cook. So maybe methyalmine is also tough to come by in Mexico.
