Series creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul join the Mythbusters team to scrutinise the science of the hit television show, Breaking Bad. First up, Adam and Jamie take on a bathtub blowout, because according to the program, hydrofluoric acid could chew through organic matter, a bathtub, the floor and the ceiling. Meanwhile, Kari, Tory and Grant break bad with a mercury fulminate fable, which is based on a scene where Walter White decimates an entire room with a fistful of crystal.

Tonight, Adam and Jamie tackle key congestion questions and unlock the traffic gridlock. They find out if a minor unexpected braking incident can really cause a major ‘shockwave jam'. They also put the European roundabout up against the typical American four-way stop sign to see which is really the most efficient. Meanwhile, Kari, Grant and Tory take on the controversial claim that on a journey of less than 600 kilometres it's always faster to drive. Plus, can lane changing put your life in danger?
