13. No Más (Season 3, Episode 1)
After the devastating collision of Wayfarer 515, the whole episode deals with aftermaths- Janes death, Jesses life-saving stint in rehab, Skylers discover of Walts meth cooking, the profits and miseries left behind in the wake of the plane collisions its a lot to take in. Everyones lives have changed forever, for one reason or another, and the way this is dealt with is fascinating. The whole show, not that it was in danger of becoming stale, has refreshed itself and the landscape has changed. Season openers are tricky for almost any show, but by picking up right where it left off and developing everyones relationships and motivations, particularly Jesses, we are hooked from the off. Whilst some episodes are driven entirely by the plot and breakneck pacing, and others focus on the rich array of characters, this balances both in a very satisfying way- Gus offers Walt a tantalising offer he cant refuse, two mysterious men are on a rampage across the border where could this all be heading, you wonder?
