An ordinary episode
When the episode begins we see Jesse Pinkman and his former girlfriend's museum visit when they discussed about a painting of a door, then we cut to the present. Hank Schrader is starting rehabilitation while Walter White checks on the meth doses produced by Jesse, and Jesse and his friends try to sell meth among the members of the support group without success: during this time Jesse starts going out with a woman of the support group named Andrea but when he discovers that she has a child and is already married he leaves her. Gus Fring will give Walter some advice on how to spend the gained money and Hank has a possibility of leaving the hospital but doesn't want to leave it unless he does it on his own legs.
This was an ordinary episode in the sense that continues the events of the previous episodes, and the writing and acting are good. Not surprises but still good.

When Skylar Meets Saul!
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.

Too Much Skyler
Skyler continues getting into Walter's business. She already has him by the short hairs when it comes to Hank. She never considers for a moment that she would be in bankruptcy without the money going to Walter's cancer treatment. At the least they would be wards of the state. She continues to prosper on his dime. Now she wants to front him in a carwash business to engender money laundering. Meanwhile, Hank is getting no better and wants to be left out of anything but a significant cure. I just don't know. There is some stretching of reality here that blurs things.
Setting up things to come!
This episode was a nice chamge of pace as we qre starting to move forward from everything involving the cousins and Hank!
This episode have two major things going on that sets up how everything will develop from here!
Skyler finally commits to Walt being a criminsl and descides to play an active role in msking sure he doesn't get caught! This means laundring the money!
The scene with Saul, Walt and Skyler is something I always enjoy, and great how it goes back to Bogdan amd the car wash, showing how everything matters!
The stuff with Jessie qlso sets up the finale act perfectly as he learns the truth about Combo!

The irony
It's just a bit ironic how Hank's recovery treatments are paid with drug industry money. The same industry he swore to defeat by all means being in the DEA. This just reminds us that we should all be humble because you never know who/what is going to help you when you need!
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Walter and Skyler visit the lawyer, the scene cuts to a shot that displays a Master of Arts degree from the University of American Samoa presented to Saul Goodman. In the prequel series Better Call Saul (2015) it is revealed that a law degree was earned by Saul, who at the time still went by his real name, James McGill, but Jimmy got his law license suspended. When his license was reinstated, he practiced law under the name Saul Goodman and had his paperwork changed to reflect that.
- GoofsIn the close-up of Saul Goodman's university diploma, the word "privileges" is misspelled as "priveleges".
- Quotes
Saul Goodman: If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.
