7/10
A very sentimental episode; 1/2 of the best episodes of this season

My overall rating of "Breaking Bad"'s Season 3: 4/10

This episode begins with what seems like a soft retcon, as I'd understood that Jesse and Jane never actually went to the exhibition, the 1st time interrupted by Walt and the 2nd time their wish becoming substituted with just doing more heroin. Either way, I loved to see the two interacting again. And then, as the episode developed, there were yet more causes for certain sentimentalism as Jesse unwittingly enters a new romance while trying to sling meth, and discusses a mutual tragedy with his new girl; Skyler and Walter talk some of their issues through; Marie and Hank do likewise; and then, finally, Gus has a personal heart-to-heart with Walter. All of it seems fairly idyllic and relaxing and doesn't feeel sappy. The hilarity of Saul Goodman is a gift that keeps on giving.

Some scenes did feel a bit "played-out", cliche, goofy or what have you, but it's still fairly solid stuff, and one alosot wishes this status quo wouldn't be shaken up by future episodes...
