How to break out of an async series inside an async.each loop - node.js

I need to skip functions or breakout of a an async.series, and was wondering how I should go about it. I have an array of items that I need to iterate through. I put that list in a async.each function. Each item in the array then goes through a list of functions needed before moving on, in a series (as info from one is needed in the next). But in some cases, I only need to go through the first function, then if a condition isn't met (example, it is a category we don't use), then callback to the async.each loop for the next item. Here is an example of my code: ``` exports.process_items = function(req, res, next){ var user = res.locals.user; var system = res.locals.system; var likes = JSON.parse(res.locals.likes); var thecat; //process each item async.each(items, function(item, callback){ //with each item, run a series of functions on it... thecat = item.category; async.series([ //Get the category based on the ID from the DB... function(callback) { //do stuff callback(); }, //before running other functions, is it an approved category? //if it is not an approved category, SKIP THE OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THE LIST (but how?) function(callback) { //do stuff callback(); }, //some other functionality run on that item, function(callback){ //do stuff callback(): } ], function(err) { if (err) return next(err); console.log("done with series of functions, next item in the list please"); }); //for each like callback... callback(); }, function(err){ //no errors }); } ```
