The end of the previous episode had Pinkman and White being "kidnapped" by Tuco. This episode shows that yes, they were kidnapped, and he has taken them to an isolated house, where his impaired uncle is watching 24/7 TV. White and Pinkman will have to find a way to stay alive while Whitman's wife tries to find him, worried because of his sudden disappearance.
After almost nothing had happened since the pilot, this episode shows some life, as finally White and Pinkman are in a difficult situation, and with their lives on the line. Nonetheless, the show keeps being not very original, and almost every plot development can be expected. And it is a little bit difficult to believe the resources of the couple against drug kingpins and, being the sloppy that they actually are, how they had yet to be discovered by White's brother-in-law.
The show is still unsure of where it is going, as we are basically at square one, one step forward one back. But at least, some tension.
