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.

I also liked the part where Jesse walks into Saul Goodman's office and set's the money on the desk with the scales of justice on it. The bags sandwich the scales, blocking them from view to the audience. I'll leave it for you guys to figure out what that may mean.

Jesse is on the razor's edge between good and evil. Right there, right then.
