Rewatch, 9.6/10
This is literally one of the best episodes of the entire show. I personally loved Jesse's storyline in this episode, with him and the kid. I loved his and Walt's storyline, because Walt's was also amazing. Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode were Jesse, Walt, and the kid. My favorite things about this episode were the Protagonist, the storyline, and the pacing. This should honestly be at least a 9.0 or a 9.1. This should definitely be higher rated on this app, because this was amazing. This is another episode as to why this is in the top 5 of best shows. If you are looking dor an impactful drug show, definitely watch this one.
The Enforcer and the Liar
Jesse finds the whereabouts of the drugged couple that stole the meth from Skinny Pete and goes to the derelict house where they live. However, he stumbles upon a dirty and starving young boy that is the son of the woman. He gives some food to the boy and plays with him. When the couple arrives, Jesse subdues them with his revolver and the man, Spooge, proposes to pay him after opening an ATM that he has stolen. Meanwhile, Walt returns to high-school and Skyler receives a phone call from Gretchen Schwartz. She thanks her friend for paying for Walt's treatment and invites Gretchen to visit her. Gretchen visits Skyler and then Walt meets her at a restaurant where their past is partially disclosed.
"Peekaboo" is one of the best episodes of "Breaking Bad", especially the segment relative to Jesse. Poor boy, living in that condition with a drug-addicted "mother". This part of the show is very sad, but Jesse treats the boy in a surprising way. In Walt's segment, Skyler forces him to tell one more lie. Gretchen's Bentley is amazingly beautiful. My vote is nine.

Amazing writing and episode
I'm watching breaking bad for the first time and this episode made me write this because of Aaron Paul's acting and the twists In this episode brilliant.
One of my favorite episodes!
This episode perfectly captures one of the core themes of season 2.. addiction! This episode sees Jesse try to recover the stolen drugs from a couple! Here we really get too see what drugs does to you and your life, to the point where all you can think about is your next high! This shows us the consequences of their "business!'
This episode also shows what kind of people both Jesse and Walt, are! They really develop surprisingly much in this episode! Just the first scene gives us one of Jesses' core values in a great subtle way! It tells you so much about him! This is great writing and storytelling! Walts conversation with Gretchen also showed us what kind of person Walt has become and is equally important!
The actors playing the two junkies were phenomenal! Very believable and memorable performances! I also like how dirty and deteriorating they look! Once you learn they have a kis.. it all hits different! Oh and that final scene is one of the most iconic in the show!

Not exactly a great hideout...
After Skinny Pete was kidnapped near the end of the previous episode he managed to call Jesse Pinkman and give him the address of Spooge: Jesse takes Walt's gun and goes to Spooge's house for giving him a lesson. There is no one at home so Jesse smashes a window, enters and the place is in total degradation, with lots of dirty clothes, garbage and broken objects. Soon a child comes out, silent and neglected as well: Jesse feeds him with the few edible things at home and when the parents come, Jesse soon attacks them at gunpoint. In the meanwhile Walter White returned working in his old high school, while also receiving the bad news that Grechten and Schwartz can't help him anymore with the money for the cancer cures. Jesse forces Spooge and his wife to give all the drug they have but is very little: Spooge then takes a ATM-like safe that should contain lots of money but his wife makes the safe fall on his head crushing it and killing him: Jesse takes all the money and flees not before letting the kid out and calling 911 wishing him good luck.
Jesse's story, while a bit dark, was great because it shows us that he also has an human side and can care for others when they are in the need while Walt's story wasn't particularly gratifying for the viewer. Overall a good episode especially in the last part.

Did you know
- TriviaAaron Paul submitted this episode for nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for the 2009 Emmy Awards.
- GoofsA 911 hangup won't generate an immediate response with a siren. However a house with a history like the one portrayed with drug use, domestic and child abuse would be flagged in the system and officers would likely respond "hot" due to the history.
