Storyline

Having been kidnapped by a crazed Tuco, Walt and Jesse are held prisoner by him in a desert shack where he often hides out and takes care of his sick uncle. Walt's brother-in-law Hank and the DEA have rolled Tuco's entire organization and he thinks that his two prisoners may have been a source of information. Walt tries to feed Tuco the poison he prepared. Walter Jr. meanwhile takes a bit of time off to look for Walt. Skyler is sick with worry and has been distributing handbills with Walt's photo. He remembers that Jesse Pinkman was Walt's source of marijuana and tries to track him down. Tuco finally realizes that his prisoners are up to something and is obviously going to kill Jesse. After a fight in which Tuco is shot, Hank shows up looking for Jesse.

Cousins ?

Walt and Jesse is kidnapped by Tuco, and taken to his shack in the desert that he used there to hide and feed his sick uncle. Walt and Jesse's assassination attempt on Tuco has been unsuccessful and moreover Tuco's uncle sees their attempt. With his uncle's warning Tuco is now hostile towards Walt and Jesse and ready to kill them.

Meanwhile Skyler, Walt Jr. and Marie is distributing handbills on street and Hank is investigating of Walt's disappearing. He then conducts his search on Jesse, and his path crosses with Tuco unexpected.

I thought we will be seeing more of Tuco, before starting season 2. But I don't know, maybe producers tried to show that dealing drugs, selling drugs is bad, look you can earn cash easily, but you can get into trouble more easily.

With Tuco being dead, I'm wondering what will Jesse and Walt do ? Will they continue cooking meth? Well, they obviously will continue because Walt needs seven thirty-seven for his family.

I really laughed tonight. The scene where Tuco's uncle tried to alarm Tuco by his ringings, the expressions on Jesse and Walt while Tuco is slowly turning hostile towards them with his uncle's single rings to Tuco's questions.. is perfect.

And "cousins?" part is hilarious as well. I'm surprised to see that Hank arrived instead of "cousins." He really saves the day.

My vote is 10/10. Perfect.
