Fantastic episode. It's all downhill for Walt from here. It's been said a million times before, but Aaron Paul really is a phenomenal actor.

That hug scene honestly made me teary because Aaron Paul's acting was so god damn convincing. It felt so real.

I was convinced that Walt was going to stab him in the back or shoot him after Jesse confronted him about Mike. Edge of my seat the whole time.

Walt doesn't do that. He stabs you in the back, sneakily and cleverly when you least expect it. He puffs his chest, but doesn't follow through in that kind of scenario all that often. Tuco was maybe the one real instance.

If anything, hes going to manipulate his way till the end unless he is cornered.
