Review of Abiquiu

Breaking Bad: Abiquiu (2010)
Season 3, Episode 11
9/10
When Skylar Meets Saul!
13 September 2014
This is the eleventh episode of the third season of Breaking Bad and after the rather slow events of the previous two episodes, the pace is finally being picked up. It's a very interesting episode, especially since Skylar decides to meddle in the affairs of Walt. I was also amused when Skylar and Saul meets for the first time. Some good television gold right there.

In this episode, "Abiquiu," Skylar receives the first hospital bill so she decides to correctly launder the money, so it won't be traced back to Walt. Meanwhile, Hank is told he is allowed to go home, but he is less than thrilled. Jesse wants to sell the meth he has been peddling, but it is going at a frustratingly slow pace. Gus invites Walt over for dinner where he dispenses sage advice.

Overall, this is a great episode and we can start to see the direction of the show. It's a little slow at times, but the pace is being picked up. Great acting and writing are the keys to the show, which is why all the seemingly "dull" episodes end up being great. I rate this episode 9/10.
