The pilot for BREAKING BAD was great and it made me want to see more so I went forward. And this second episode was nearly on par with the previous.

After the events of the pilot Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) get help from an Indian for putting their RV on the road and while Emilio is dead Krazy-8 is still alive tho with breathing difficulties. After school Walter goes to Jesse's, they tie Krazy-8 to a pole in the basement and they'll separate: Walt has to kill Krazy-8 while Jesse has to dissolve of Emilio's body with hydrofluoric acid. Walt goes with Skylar to the gynecologist and they'll find out that she is waiting a little girl: during a pause Skylar asks Walt about Jesse and Walt has to spill the beans, soon Skylar will go to Jesse telling him to stay away from Walt menacing of calling Hank for arresting him. Later Walt returns to Jesse reassuring him and just as they go in the hallway... the bathroom floor crumbles with pieces of bathtub and of Emilio's decaying body! You see, Walt recommended Jesse to buy a plastic container because it doesn't melt with acid but since Jesse couldn't find a proper one he had the genius idea of dissolving Emilio's body in his own bathtub.

It was a great second episode with some serious moments and some funny ones (like the aforementioned bathtub one) and needless to say, the acting was great and the writing clever. Another winner.
