#3. Salud (Season 4)"Fill your pockets and leave in peace. Or fight me and die!"What a fantastic one. There's so much that happens in this one and it will always remain one of my favorites. Jesse, along with Gus and Mike head to Mexico to go cook in the awesome dirty ass super lab. The head guy there mocks Jesse in Spanish for not knowing simple things but Jesse calls him out and he responds in English. Jesse then takes control and shows the man who's boss. I love this because Gus and Mike almost manage to crack smiles. They are actually really impressed with Jesse. It's almost like there was some Walt in him right there, controlling, bossy, direct. It turns out that Jesse's batch of meth is way better than the other guys could have possibly dreamed of making, however it's still not quite as pure as Walt's. They then celebrate and say it's going to be the first of many. Jesse is confused and realizes they want him to stay. Later, Mike tells Jesse they are either all staying, or going back to the U.S. Also, we get to see more of Ted's dumbass. Skyler finds a way to get Ted to pay off that debt he really needs to be paying off. So she and Saul do some planning. Saul brings Ted into the office and tells him that his long-lost Great Aunt had left him a little over six hundred thousand dollars, awfully close to what he owes. Oblivious to logic, he goes and gets a a fucking car and tells Skyler the business is opening back up. Skyler then tells Ted the truth. Idiot. Meanwhile, Walt Jr., in his badass new cruiser, heads over to his dad's house. Walt looks like a mess, after getting his ass kicked by Jesse, he's sitting at the house in his underwear. Walt then breaks down in front of his son, claiming that it was all his fault. Of course at this point, Jr. is still oblivious to what's really going on. Jr. then puts his dad to bed, and Walt then softly says "Jesse". I kinda felt bad right here because Walt Jr. just doesn't even know, and also it kinda looks as if Walt views Jesse as a son, as he spends a ton of time with him. The next day, Walt apologizes to Jr., who had stayed the night. He tells his son that he doesn't want him to remember him this way, in such a low state. Jr. then tells his dad that he actually would rather see him this way than how he had been before, because he actually looks "real".
In the last portion of this episode, Gus, Jesse, and Mike are taken to Don Eladio's residence. Gus has nothing but revenge in his mind right now. Don Eladio meets Jesse and is impressed by the results of his batch. They all celebrate, as Gus offers Don Eladio a gift, tequila. Don Eladio looks a bit suspicious, because he's receiving a gift from the man he put through hell when he killed his partner back in the day. It turns out the tequila was poisoned, so all the people that consumed it, Gus, Don Eladio and all his henchmen, are fucked. Luckily, Gus gets a good bit of it out of his system when he goes to the bathroom and forces himself to vomit. He comes out, and Don Eladio knows what he has done. Mike strangles Gaff, which was badass. After all of them are dead, Gus, poisoned, yells and threatens the rest of them. They then leave. On the way out, Mike is shot in the stomach, but they all manage to make it out alive, thanks to Jesse.
Favorite Scene: Gus avenging his past partner's death. The way he did it was fucking classy. No bullets needed, just kill him internally. This was Gus's best moment, I think. He has always been one of my favorite characters and this was his best episode to me.
