'Better Call Saul' Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Gus Fring Has Returned

The return of "Better Call Saul" was highly anticipated, and when Season 3 premiered on April 10, it did not fail. Now, episode 2 titled "Witness" was just recently aired, and it showed what we all know for so long - Gus Fring has returned. Spoilers ahead.

According to Collider, Fring is a very important part of Jimmy and Mike's history from "Breaking Bad." "Better Call Saul" Season 3 episode 2 began with Mike trying to see who placed a tracking device on his car. He follows the mystery truck, enters a building which turns out to be Fring's Los Pollos Hermanos.

Mike asks for Jimmy's help, and the latter ordered a meal while staying in a booth where he could scan the room, TV Line said. The driver of the truck that Mike has been following brought a knapsack which he placed under his seat while he eats. Just then, the guy stands up, grabs his backpack and leaves. Jimmy checked the trash to see if the guy left something for him there, when the manager asked, "Can I help you?"

The manager is Gus Fring. Jimmy answered him by saying that he had lost his watch in the trash, and Fring digs in the trash to help him find it. Fring was all smiles when he helped Jimmy, but when Jimmy left, the smile left Fring's face. On the other hand, Jimmy went to tell Mike that he got nothing.

So Mike went back to Los Pollos Hermanos. Another surprise appearance happened here when an SUV that entered the lot is actually driven by Victor, Fring's henchman. He turns out to be the one carrying the tracking device that Mike has been tracking. The plan is to show Mike that he is actually the fish, not the fisherman.

Meanwhile, Jimmy found out that Chuck taped him. Kim assured him that he will be fine, but his brother's treachery appalled him. He went to Chuck's place, destroys the tape, but he soon realized that he is not alone. Chuck had hired a private eye to do a surveillance of his home because he knew Jimmy would break in. "Better Call Saul" Season 3 will return on April 24.
