* Near the end of the season finale, Gus is sitting in his car [[spoiler: waiting for Tyrus to call and give him the clear to enter the nursing home and kill his long-time nemesis, Hector Salamanca.]]
* Gus is silent, but clearly looks very emotional as he stares at the building waiting. [[spoiler: He is no doubt contemplating the arduous steps he had to take toward avenging his friend, Max's death, i.e., working his way up the Mexican cartel, building his own empire in America, gradually killing the rest of Hector's family and friends and eventually crushing the cartel itself, all to get to this moment where he kills his murderer. And made even more sad because we already know he is about to die with him.]] This, along with ambient western-style music "Goodbye" by Apparat and slow paced cinematography, creates an especially haunting effect.

** Especially the end of the episode where [[spoiler: he's pouring gasoline all over Walt's house in a fit of blind rage.]] It's downright heartbreaking when you realize just how broken this kid has become over the past 16 months.

** The best and most touching part is when Jesse [[spoiler:begs Walt to just be honest and up front with him. It basically amounts to, "If you need me to leave town, just ask me, straight-up, to my face. Just treat me like an equal for once in my life, please!" He doesn't mind leaving to help Walt -- he's just desperate for a tiny shred of respect.]]

* When Walt suggests Jesse [[spoiler:claim a new identity for a fresh start, Jesse starts to call him out on his true motivation — to save his own ass. Jesse is filled with emotions of fear that Walt may kill him like he did Mike and tears of sadness because Walt has manipulated him so much that he believes Jesse doesn't suspect his motives. Walt then gives Jesse an [[CooldownHug apologetic hug.]]]] This action may not even have any meaning to Walt and simply just another attempt to toy with Jesse's emotions.
