Better Call Saul Season 3: 18 Breaking Bad Easter Eggs & References You Must See

The return - or first appearance, timeline wise - of Gus Fring has been teased for over a year now, with Season 2's titles forming the phrase 'Fring's Back', and it was confirmed before the season had started that he would be involved.

Like with his fast-food restaurant, the show takes its time teasing out his arrival. We have to wait until the second episode, and even then we just catch glimpses of his yellow shirt in the background, before his proper reintroduction.

It's very much the Gus we know, hiding how dangerous he is behind that megawatt smile and pleasantness. It's also worth noting that he's driving the same Volvo he'd still have years later on Breaking Bad.
