'Better Call Saul' Zeroes in on 'Breaking Bad' Relationships
by EG
You wouldn't mistake Mike Ehrmantraut for an upstanding citizen in Better Call Saul, but at the same time, he's certainly not aligned with the man we meet in Breaking Bad.

That's finally changing in the third episode of season 3, "Sunk Costs," which sees the first face-to-face between the two characters after a lengthy, convoluted game of cat and mouse (mostly involving a gas cap) to start the season. As the previous episode left off, we see Mike answer a flip phone left in the middle of the road. Fring's on the other end, hoping to have a conversation where no guns are drawn.
