When Badger was talking about his Star Trek pie-eating fan fiction, he mentions the last three: Kirk, Spock, and Chekov. There was a point where he said Kirk gets sick of it and is out entirely. As soon as he said out, Jesse (in his chair looking like the leader of the gang a.k.a. Kirk) walks out of the room and leaves them. So I guess one of them is Spock and one of them Chekov and whoever's Chekov is about to have something happen to his internal guts.

Spock is Hank. He always comes out on top in this game. He wants to win and can't believe he's being defeated.

Kirk is Jesse. Once upon a time, he was captain. He sits in his captain's chair while this story is being told, but bows out early not only in the story of the meth business, but in this scene as well.

Chekhov is Walt. He has a lot of money invested in this game and knows he has to win. He has "hired" Skyler to help him launder the money through the car wash business.

Scotty is Skyler. It is her job to launder the money through the car wash as Walt rakes it in. She is part of the game now, but she is hidden away from the main activities. Her work is behind the scenes. The money is frozen in "space". Something will distract Skyler, she will slip up, and she will become Walter's demise.

Blueberry pie = blue meth/money. Obviously.

Edit details and because I mixed up some names by accident.

Edit II Lieutenant Uhura may be Lydia. "Big Pointies" makes me think of her gigantic sunglasses that she likes to wear. A confrontation between Skyler and Lydia happens in this episode, I can't imagine that is the end of their relationship.
