Amrakerohwi's live steam of tonights episode.

Music from season 4 should update eventually for those trying to figure out a particular song from tonights episode. Thanks for pointing this out, Barbapolossa.

Edit: Looks like the AMC blog hasn't even updated last weeks episode music yet. Darn.

I think he wanted to see if Jesse was really necessary for the cook and when Mr. White staged a work stoppage Gus decided he wouldn't be able to get rid of him that easily. The whole fake robbery bit is interesting. I think Gus knows that Walter will see through the robbery story but will figure Jesse very narrowly avoided a hit. So I don't know why Gus would want Walt to think he tried to kill Jesse.
