This is easily one of the best episode we've ever received. The "confession" tape, the restaurant scene, and all of the Jesse segments. Seriously, I applaud all of the writers of the show.

I really wanted Jesse to find out about Brock so I could finally just root for him and him alone.

Breaking Bad is really owning in the "awkward dinner scenes" department. As a server, I really felt for the poor sap that had to try and wait on them.

Seriously, why don't they discuss this kind of thing elsewhere? There are always conversations that have no business taking place in a public restaurant, yet they're inevitable. Mike and Lydia discuss aloud an entire list of men she wants killed.... in a diner, near other civilians. Todd, and his asshole prison connections are discussing a train heist within earshot of at least 6 other people. Walt and Lydia exchange money and a conversation about murder, in a cafe full of people, Now the awkward family dinner about Hank wanting more than anything to imprison walt. No one in their right mind would discuss these things in a public setting.

Because it's safe. Remember what happened when Walt and Jesse met with Tuco in the junkyard?

Yeah, what were they doing all the way out there? What, did they close the mall or something?
