We are GETTING somewhere.

Been a good season so far, but I feel like the episode before this really turned the tables. No way the rest of this season isn't going to be awesome.

Aaron Paul is phenomenal in this episode and this season, and I'm glad to see Jesse getting much more screen time and character growth as well. His scene in the NA meeting was powerful and gut-wrenching. His sort-of reluctance to kill Gus speaks volumes too, seeing as even after killing Gale, he doesn't want to be a "bad guy" as he's kind of accepted last season. He's not a killer!

What Walter did with the dodge challenger was a highlight for me as well, and Gus's meeting with the cartel was truly great. Will Gus get out of this in one piece? With all of these different people after him? Will he somehow outsmart everyone (DEA, Jesse, Walt, the drug cartel). The stakes continue to raise here and in the following episode.

A great episode, with wonderful performances and good character moments/development.
