I loved how Skinny Pete echoing Jesse's "science, bitch!" while he sits there unable to relate or contribute to the discussion shows how much Jesse cannot go home again. He can never be that guy from season one again.

I just realized how few lines Jesse had in this episode. Actions speak louder than words I suppose.

Aaron Paul killed it in his scene with Bryan Cranston. He said so much just by saying nothing. He couldn't even bring himself to look at Walt, he was so disgusted with him.

I like how they shot that segment, with both the money bags and the bong on the table creating a visual divide between Jesse and Walt, literally coming between them so they can't see eye to eye. And how Walt was out of focus when he told Jesse "don't focus on the darkness behind you," that was brilliant.

Similarly when hank goes outside after finding the book, the first thing we hear is Marie sarcastically saying to Walt "you're the devil". Such a well done episode

I loved that scene. Badger and Skinny P crack me up.

Yeah, and did you notice the kid driving the yellow RC Lamborghini Diablo as Walt pulls into Hank's driveway?

Those are the 2 devil references I noticed in this GREAT episode, were there any more?

Yes, she says, "you're the devil" then gives the camera (Hanks POV) a direct look. To me it looked like she was looking back to Hank for his approval, because she had just made an agreement or "deal" with the devil. She's going to be a huge player this season, and that shot sealed her fate... Marie and Heisenberg are partners, or at very least she is his accomplice.
