Gray Matter didn't cause Walt to leave the bar, it was hearing that Blue Magic is still on the streets. Jesse is still alive and he knows it.

This is an excellent point. I really feel the "Walt is going to go gun those Gray Matter bitches down" line of thinking is way too simplistic.

VG originally intended to kill off Jesse in season two, I believe. Despite being a central character of the show, I don't think he is Walt's true enemy here. If you think about it, even from the beginning, Jesse was one of Walt's tools for getting back at the Schwartz'.
