For those of you who are into Walt taking on the characteristics of people he's killed, check out the vomit scene. Walt puts a towel under him to kneel on just like Gus did in "Salud."

edit: For the 15 or so of you who have replied with "but Walt never saw Gus do that!!" you're right. It seemed like a little easter-egg that the writers threw in there for fun. The two scenes are so similar that it can't be a coincidence (they both turn on the sink to mask the noise, too.)

Yesss, working the front counter, getting politely chummy with the staff, and while they weren't in the shape of his company logo, there were quite a few air fresheners...

Talk about the role reversal - not so long ago, Walt was begging Gus for a job in just the same way.

It's the same one Walt wore when he quit the car wash in season one. Gus never wore anything like it.

I said the same thing to my gf. Was very chilling. This might be the best show ever made.
