Storyline

Having completed their deal with Tuco in the junkyard, Walt and Jesse realize just how crazy and violent he can be. Jesse is convinced that he's seen Tuco's black SUV going up and down his street. Walt puts it down to paranoia - until he sees a black SUV parked just down the block from his house. Jesse's solution is to shoot Tuco before he kills them but Walt has a better idea. Panic sets in however when they think Tuco is killing his associates. Hank reviews the security surveillance footage of the warehouse break-in without realizing it's Walt and Jesse. Skyler tells Hank about Marie's shoplifting and gets a surprising reaction.

Trivia

Walt handles the castor beans (the source of ricin toxin) with extreme care, avoiding any skin contact. Whole intact castor beans are in fact generally harmless, and even if swallowed can pass through the digestive tract with no ill effect unless chewed.

A Good Start

Walt and Jesse argues about the anger limits of Tuco. Later, Jesse tells Walt that he's seeing a black SUV outside his house and he thinks Tuco is after them. Walt is skeptical, until he sees the same car in front of his house. They talk about how to deal with Tuco.

Hank goes to Walt's house and talks Skyler. He tells Skyler about the problems of Marie, but gets an unexpected response.

Seven Thirty-Seven is a good start for season 2. After season 1, I'm expecting that this season's story arc will evolve slow, but I wasn't expecting the ending. From the looks of it, Season 2 will be better than first season.

My vote is 9/10.
