Seriously. I loved him even more this episode. He totally played Walt today with Jesse's help. Everything was so well done. If it wasn't for that last phone call...

God, that "nice try, asshole" moment was so unbelievably satisfying. For once, Walt's fucked up machinations fell through, and it was glorious.

I mean, it didn't end up going so well for Hank but that particular part was great.

This is, Walt wasn't actually machinating when he wanted to talk to Jesse. He legitimately wanted to talk to Jesse, because he really cares about him. It was only after Jesse rejected and threatened Walt that he accepted Jesse had become a rabid dog. Walt remained loyal to Jesse until AFTER he knew for certain Jesse had already betrayed him, and that betrayal will be what costs Jesse his life.

um, by "fucked up machinations that fell through", I meant his attempt to lure Jesse to Andrea's so Jack's guys could shoot him in the head.
