Hank is understandably furious about the phone call he received telling him that Marie had been badly hurt in a car crash and naturally assumes Jesse was the person responsible so goes to his house and beats him to a pulp... a move that could cost him his career. Jesse certainly wants to see Hank's life destroyed for what he did. Saul and Walt counsel against this but he is adamant. Saul is concerned that if Jesse carries on the DEA will be keeping a very close eye on him and it would only be a matter of time before he got caught; to this end Walt convinces Gus that he needs Jesse as his assistant; convincing Jesse to work with him again might not be so easy though. Having beaten Jesse, Hank doesn't try to make excuses; he knows things have been going badly for him emotionally since he shot Tuco. The inevitable consequence of this honesty is that he is asked to hand over is badge and sidearm before being suspended... this couldn't have happened at a worse time as the two Mexicans catch up with him in the car park as he is preparing to drive away.
This was one if the best episodes yet as the creators turn the tension up to eleven! It opens with a bang as Hank repeatedly punched Jesse in the face and ends with one of the most exciting scenes I've seen on television; by the time it was over I was sitting on the edge of my seat and my heart was pounding! Dean Norris really shone as Hank; early on his character provided some light relief but there was none of that here as we see the culmination of the events that began when he shot Tuco in Season Two; both in the way the stress lead to him beating Jesse rather than restraining himself and in the confrontation with the two vengeful Mexicans. He wasn't the only actor on top form though; the scenes in the hospital room where Walt tries to get Jesse to work with him again showed Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul at the top of their game. If you've enjoyed the show so far you will love this episode; just try to avoid learning about the ultimate ending before you watch it for the first time.
