Line 80:
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Hank and Jesse. Both go from gung-ho and cocky to grim and introspective as they're beaten down by traumatic moment after traumatic moment.
* [[Bribe Backfire]]: Walt and Jesse's first meeting with Saul.
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: For better or for worse, Walt Jr. is ''not'' the type to mince words. If he thinks Walt is being a
* [[Bulletproof Vest]]: The Cousins purchase a pair from an illegal arms dealer.
* [[But He Sounds Handsome]]: Walt commenting on Gale [[What an Idiot!|to Hank]] who thinks he was Heisenberg, telling Hank that his "genius might still be out there."
Line 196:
** In "Over", Jesse wants to bring Jane breakfast in bed, but she walks on him in the kitchen. He says {{spoiler|"You weren't supposed to wake up", and she responds "Ever, or...?"}}
** The water heater. Walt Jr. mentions it in the first episode of the first season, and its breakdown in Season 2 starts Walt Sr. on a home repair spree.
** You can tell Hector wants Gus dead early in their confrontations, but it doesn't appear to mean much as Hector can't do anything. Come the Season 4 finale, however,
** In the season 2 premiere, you see Skyler looking fondly of old photos of her and {{spoiler|Ted}} after she and Walt start having marriage troubles. {{spoiler|Ted}} isn't even introduced at that point and doesn't appear till 6 episodes after.
** Madrigal Electromotive [[Gmb H]], a faceless international conglomerate, was first mentioned significantly in Season 4, when it is revealed that the company owns the industrial laundry that houses the superlab. Interestingly, though, it was stated as the owners of Los Pollos Hermanos in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6Rwsjzu178&feature=player_embedded fine print of a television ad in Season 3]. Come Season 5, the company itself gets quite a bit of focus when the feds come knocking in the wake of {{spoiler|Gus' death}}, and employee Lydia Rudarte-Quayle becomes an important supporting character.
Line 222:
** {{spoiler|Jesse when he finds Jane dead. He has to be slapped out of it by Mike who wants him to tell police that he "woke up, he found her, that's all he knows."}}
** Jesse in the Season 4 premiere, too shaken up to even flee the crime scene.
** Walt at the end of "Crawl Space" after
* [[Hidden Depths]]:
** Hank in Season 3.
Line 245:
** Season 4 has had the habit of naming a lot of its episodes after objects that play into that episode's story to some degree: "Box Cutter", "Thirty-Eight Snub", "Shotgun", "Bug," "Crawl Space" and "Face Off"
* [[The Igor]]: Jesse; Gale.
* [[Implied Death Threat]]: While it's made clear that {{spoiler|actually killing Hank is, and always will be off the table}}, Walt exits the conversation where {{spoiler|Hank reveals that he knows he's Heisenberg by dropping one of these}}.
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]:
** Walt's coughing in the pilot is a sign of his cancer.
Line 400 ⟶ 401:
* [[Stout Strength]]: While he looks the part of a stereotypical fat cop, Hank's in excellent physical condition and comes out on top in more than his fair share of fights. Huell is also every bit as wide as he is tall, and uses his girth to intimidate people into complying with the demands of his employers.
* [[Suicide by Cop]]: Subverted; the very first scene of the pilot has Walt stand in the middle of the desert road with his gun drawn, consumed with guilt over his meth cooking and killing of Emilio and Krazy-8 (until it's revealed that the latter is [[Not Quite Dead]]) while what seems to be police sirens seem to be drawing closer... only for it to be a false alarm.
* [[Suspicious Spending]]: Walt's
* [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]: Hank is always in pursuit of the elusive "Heisenberg"...his brother-in-law. Yeah, he's never really close to figuring it out. Or Is He?
* [[Taking the Heat]]:
Line 422 ⟶ 423:
* [[Trash the Set]]: {{spoiler|Walt and Jesse blow up the laundromat superlab at the end of Season 4.}}
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]: Everybody. If they're not dancing the Conga, then they're playing the tune.
* [[Troll]]: Anytime Hector Salamanca visits the DEA to testify about something, he takes genuine joy out of wasting their time and being as unhelpful as possible. He [[Toilet Humor|shits himself out of contempt]] the first time, and tries to make his interpreter spell out "SUCK MY DICK" and "FUCK YOU" the second.
* [[Tropaholics Anonymous]]: In Season 3 Jesse and his cronies attempt to ''sell methamphetamine'' to people at recovery meetings. In the end, none of them can bring themselves to do it. "It's like shooting a baby in the face." In fact, Jesse's cronies end up actually [[Becoming the Mask|going into recovery]].
* [[True Companions]]:
Line 432 ⟶ 434:
** The Cousins. No matter what's happening.
** Walt does one after blowing up a [[Jerkass]] lawyer's car.
** Gus does this
** Yet another one occurs
** Subverted when Walt sets up a car to explode and starts calmly walking away. But it takes longer than he was expecting, so eventually he just awkwardly sits down and waits for it.
* [[Useless Security Camera]]: DEA Agent Hank Schrader is trying to interrogate a gas station clerk to find out who sold her some meth. When he finally realizes she knows nothing, he looks up and asks if the security camera is regularly on. It isn't.
