17 Years Ago Today, This Great Breaking Bad Episode Introduced 1 of Its Best Villains (& Killed Another Off)

Walt and Jesse’s connection to the Salamanca family began in Season 1 with their dealings with Tuco, but it truly solidified in Season 2, Episode 2, “Grilled.” This episode introduces Hector Salamanca (played by the late Mark Margolis) and his iconic wheelchair bell, and it’s a pivotal moment that establishes a major storyline and one of the show’s most frightening antagonists, setting the stage for conflict throughout the remaining seasons.
