Series three continues at a fairly gentle pace for the most part; Walt is trying to get back with Skyler but she wants nothing to do with him and the rest of the family can't understand why Skyler is preventing him from seeing the children. This is having fairly negative effect on him; he even loses his temper with a cop and gets a face full of pepper spray! Jesse meanwhile has taken control of his life again; when he discovers that his parents are selling his old house without mentioning it to him he doesn't get angry; he just gets Saul to by it for him... he even gets it for half price because they failed to declare that it once house a meth lab... his meth lab! It isn't all domestic drama of course; we see some more of the two sinister Mexicans as they first visit the Tuco's uncle and learn that the man they want is Walter White.
While this episode wasn't packed with action it contained several great moments; it is nice to see Jesse getting his life sorted out and the scene where he took possession of his house in front of his shocked parents was priceless; especially considering how Saul got him the discount! One surprising bit of character development was seeing Skyler tell her boss that he will have to have another look at his books before she can sign off on them... clearly implying that he needs to do a better job of cooking them rather than that he shouldn't break the law; whether this just means she sees his and Walter's crimes as totally different or whether it is part of a slippery slope that will lead to her accepting what Walt does remains to be seen. The two Mexican's continue to be as sinister as ever and for a moment it looked as if Walt's time might be up... I loved how he never realises how close he came to a brutal death! Over all this was a fairly gripping episode which developed the characters nicely.
