Trivia
When 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 in BCS. When he was reinstated he practiced law under the name Saul Goodman and had his paperwork changed to reflect that.

Goofs
In 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.

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.
