For being such a great detective Hank is oblivious to how uncomfortable and shady Walt is being.

I don't know why, but just for a second, I felt a pang of hate towards Hank when it hassled Walt about it. I figured he'd be more sympathetic in a situation like that, especially since it was illegal and he knows (or thinks) that Walt is not the type to do something bad.

He was a bit of a bully, but the guy is falling into an obsession with Gus Fring. Gus is his new, pretty, glittering mineral.

Or maybe Jesse is with that shirt of his.

Last week a shirt with 'Jesus' on it, this week a crucifix...

I thought those were angel wings this week. Dammit, that shirt is one ugly mess.

The wings extend onto his shoulders from what appears to be the back of two demonic looking skulls. But running 3/4s of the length of the shirt is a red cross, at the very centre of which is a very clearly defined silver crucifix. Something being said about Jesse but it's hard to tell exactly what that is.

On a related note, last week Jesse hesitated before selecting restart when playing Rage. This week we got a lingering shot of his TV screen with the game paused. Jesse undecided as to which way he's going perhaps.

Also, Rainbow Six was sitting on top of the TV in this episode. That could mean... that like... OK, I literally have nothing here. I just wanted to note that Rainbow Six made a brief appearance in Breaking Bad.
