I don't know whether to cry or scream

Warning: Spoilers
Yet again, another incredible episode. This episode does not only move the plot forward, but it also reflects on characters, Walt more specifically.

Jesse, together with Gus and Mike, are in Mexico to show the cartel how to make the blue crystal. There's a great scene where Jesse stands up for himself, and fearlessly tells everyone to follow his orders. It's one of those scenes that make you scream "Yeah Jesse!" out loud.

Walt is in his bed in his apartment and misses his son's birthday. Walt.Jr goes to his apartment and talks with Walt. It's a very emotional scene where Walt admits that he has made mistakes and that it is all his fault. He starts crying, his voice is barely audible and his eyes are red, a very convincing and touching scene and a scene that further proves the importance of Walt's and Jesse's relationship.

Skyler makes the decision to give Ted money to pay off his taxes(By using the old " A relative just died and left money" way), unfortunately he uses it for other means, and as Skyler tries to convince him to use it for the taxes, Ted tells her to leave. But instead of leaving, she tells him that the money came from her.

The last big scene is the ending, Don Eladio wants Jesse to stay in Mexico to cook for him. Gus accepts and they celebrate with a drink, a drink that Gus poisoned. Gus goes for the bathroom to vomit the poison, while every cartel capo dies in front of Eladio, who then dies himself. On their way out, Gus starts to lose his power and Mike gets shoot, Jesse shoots the gunman and as they drive of the episode ends.

A fantastic episode in a stretch of fantastic episodes, this season is in full gear and it can not be stopped.
