Caballo sin Nombre
"Caballo sin Nombre" (Spanish for "Horse Without a Name") is the second episode of the third season of the American television crime drama series Breaking Bad, and the 22nd overall episode of the series. Written by Peter Gould and directed by Adam Bernstein, it aired on AMC in the United States and Canada on March 28, 2010. Plot 
While driving on a highway, Walter White is pulled over by a police officer for his windshield, which was cracked by debris in the Wayfarer crash. When the officer alludes to having the car taken, Walt angrily snaps at him, leading him to be pepper sprayed and arrested. Hank Schrader picks him up from the station, and Walt tells him about his separation from Skyler White. Walt also tells Saul Goodman, who believes Skyler won't tell the police to avoid consequences against her. He suggests Walt "find another woman" and continue with his trade, but Walt refuses, leading Saul to call Mike Ehrmantraut, who begins staking out the Whites' house. Jesse Pinkman stops by his old house and discovers that his parents have had it renovated and have put it up for sale. Offended that his father won't let him see the property, Jesse approaches Saul with a plan to buy the house from his parents. Saul offers Jesse's parents $400,000 cash for their $875,000 house on behalf of an anonymous buyer. They are outraged by the offer until Saul threatens to reveal that the house contained a meth lab at one time, which the Pinkmans fraudulently failed to disclose when they put the house for sale. Frightened that this will entangle the house in legal action and make it sell for far less, Jesse's parents agree. After the sale is complete, Jesse confidently walks into the house as its owner in front of his parents. Walt Jr. experiences severe difficulty understanding why his mother refuses to let Walt back in, eventually snapping at her over dinner. Skyler, meanwhile, goes back to working for Ted. She refuses to keep signing his altered books and, drawing a parallel between Ted's and Walt's criminal acts, asks what his daughters would think of him if they found out of his wrongdoing. Ted believes he would say that he had been weak but that his actions were for the good of his family. She later receives a call from Walt, telling her that Walt, Jr. has gone to visit him. Walt does not tell his son the truth either and takes him home, where he tries to appease Skyler with pizza, to no avail. He later throws the pizza onto the roof in a fit of rage, and Skyler sends him a message, threatening to ask for a restraining order. Furious, Walt proceeds to break into the house in order to forcibly move back in, unaware that Mike is installing surveillance equipment in the house. Unbeknownst to Walt, the "Cousins" – Leonel and Marco Salamanca – approach their uncle, Hector Salamanca, who is now living in a retirement home following Tuco Salamanca's death. He gives them Walt's name and they eventually find his house. The cousins prepare to kill Walt with an axe, but before they can approach him in the shower, an onlooking Mike has Gus Fring text them about a faked drug deal, prompting them to leave. Production

During the episode, Walt throws an entire pizza on the roof of the Whites' house out of rage. Cranston was able to throw the pizza onto the roof in a single take. The scene became an internet meme. Fans have occasionally shown up to the real home where the exterior of the White house is filmed and thrown pizza onto the roof, eventually causing much distress to the house's owners. The repeated incidents forced Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan to make a public plea for fans to stop throwing pizzas on the house's roof. References
