  1. I’m bugged by Fig’s IVF story. The writers were portraying the IVF process accurately until they melded it with the abortion storyline. During IVF, you go through a few weeks of stimulation to produce multiple eggs, which was shown with the shots Fig was getting. So far, so good. You also go in a few times a week for ultrasounds and bloodwork so the doc can evaluate how you are responding to the stimulation meds. There is no way the docs would have missed a 9 week pregnancy when she was getting so many ultrasounds. The embryo would be very visible on ultrasound at that point. Maybe they were trying to show the doc was just going along with Fig’s plan to help the immigrant woman, but, if so, the writers didn’t make it clear. Also, why would Fig go to her fertility doc for abortion meds? Why not get the meds from another doc and continue with her IVF as planned? I get that the writers wanted to show Fig making a big personal sacrifice for the other woman, but the way they went about it was unrealistic.
  2. I'm another one late to the party. My theory about the booze syringe is that he's making the booze out to be medicine in his mind. He can fool himself into thinking that he hasn't really fallen off the wagon if he's 'medicating' himself.
  3. From an accounting standpoint, revenue is recorded during the period in which it is earned (not necessarily when payment is received, although that can coincide, but when earned). Skyler says that she checked the bills of sale for several clients and found that revenue reported did not match sales. It was under-reported by 10% for every quarter for two years. Under-reported revenue would lower the companies tax obligation. She also found that some of the bills of sale were xeroxed and had their dates changed which indicates to me that he was holding off recording some of the revenue to a future quarter so as to lower his tax liability in another quarter. When Skyler meets with the tax auditor she plays the ditz and pretends to completely misunderstand how revenues, cash and AR are recorded to hide the fact that Beneke was committing tax fraud. At any rate, the accounting bit made sense to me. The scheme was stupid and easy to trace by an auditor but it made sense in that the fraud would artificially lower the companies tax liability, not raise it.
