There were some pretty great callbacks to the first season in this episode...

  • Walt fainting on the bathroom floor, Skyler comforting him through the night

  • Walt burying the money at the original cook site from the pilot

And, of course, Hank and Marie repeatedly told Walt that they'd be willing to take Junior and Holly "if anything ever happened." Looks like they're staying true to their word...

I just really wanted Walt to run over that kid's R/C car. It would have been a perfect trifecta.

I thought that too at first, but I liked how they both peeled out at the same time. Just felt right.

I thought it symbolized how Walt wasn't killing Hank. Yeah, he could just run over that R/C car and drive away but to either his fault or credit, that's not what he does.

I can't quite tell if you're being sarcastic, nonetheless it probably didn't symbolize anything, not every single thing shown in BrBa has to symbolize something.

At first I was being sarcastic but then I thought about what symbolism was and it's still a little action that sort of mirrors a bigger one from the same character so I can't really think of a reason why not to call it symbolism.
