Very, very good episode.

There's actually quite a bit of good character growth and drama here. That final confrontation between Walter and Jesse was written and acted really, really well. Jesse lies to Walter about Gus several times, but still defends to guy to Mike and Gus. Walter, likewise, will defend Jesse, and obviously sees him as a family he never had. But he is also being a harda** about taking Gus out. All of this baggage and secrecy made for an excellent, even sad finale.

This really is kind of Aaron Paul's best season so far. His acting has been nothing short of spectacular. I really liked him in the shooting scene, and dinner with Gustavo was also really well acted and directed.

This is probably the most interesting things have been for the Skyler-Ted relationship. Skyler is pretty much in deep crap now, not just Walter. The stakes have really raised for the Whites this season!

Another great episode in a season that has been quite good overall. So far, this show has lived up to my expectations.
