I found a major plot hole in the first episode in the cold open. The scene in the previous episode where Skyler made a tiny 1 from a half piece of bacon got me thinking about the cold open.

Walt rips his bacon in half and makes a 52 without any leftover bacon. But to make a 52 with bacon, you need 10 half pieces, 5 for the 5 and 5 for the 2. But Denny’s breakfast comes with 4 slices of bacon, so Walt should have only had 8 half pieces to make his 52. No Denny’s meal comes with 5 slices of bacon, and side bacon comes in multiples of 2 or 4. So there is a mystery piece of bacon. Where did it come from? Is Jr. around so he could steal a piece? Is Walt evolving, and not even trading half pieces for full pieces since his 51st birthday? This is a pretty serious plot hole for a show that takes breakfast and Denny’s this seriously.

There is some funny business going on here. How can Vince write himself out of this hole? Has Walt sinked so low as to steal strangers bacon? Is the mystery bacon foreshadowing? I think there is a better explanation.

Since Vince doesn’t make mistakes, and not even Walt would steal a whole piece of bacon, it must mean the cold open is a dream.
